Jaki Byard: A Matter of Black and White
by Charles Walker
Curious title for this album. Sure, it's a nice pun on the pianistic adventures included, but with the possible exception of Duke Ellington or Mary Lou Williams, there was hardly another jazz pianist of the mid-20th Century who saw more gray areas in the music's broad landscape than the late Jaki Byard.

Chantale Gagne: Wisdom of the Water
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Chantale Gagné has adopted what seems to be the perfect persona for her album, Wisdom of the Water.

Junko Onishi: Baroque
by Keith Henry Brown
