Randal Despommier: South

Read "South" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Growing up in Metairie, Louisiana--a mere six miles from New Orleans--alto saxophonist Randal Despommier's formative experiences were rooted in the Crescent City's fertile sonic soil. A stone's throw away from the action, he was able to cut his teeth on the local scene(s) and put his horn to good use in Mardi Gras parades. In addition, ...

Johnny Vidacovich: Magnet In The Middle

Read "Johnny Vidacovich: Magnet In The Middle" reviewed by Thomas Cole


The ever changing cast of the Johnny Vidacovich Trio defies the meaning of that word--trio .

Myra Melford, Eric Plaks & Music For Ukraine

Read "Myra Melford, Eric Plaks & Music For Ukraine" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


Myra Melford's new recording, For The Love Of Fire And Water, is an excellent one. It's a multi-part suite performed by Melford, Ingrid Laubrock, Mary Halvorson, Tomeka Reid and Susie Ibarra. It's one of the feature recordings in a decidedly internationally-flavored show. New York pianist Eric Plaks contributes music from four of his groups, German saxophonist ...

Tomasz Dabrowski, James Singleton & Dave Gisler

Read "Tomasz Dabrowski, James Singleton & Dave Gisler" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


Like most Polish trumpet players influenced by the late Tomasz Stanko, Tomasz Dabrowski fell heavily under Stanko's spell, but he also was blessed to study with the master and to have him as a mentor. It was probably a huge thrill to be able to play one of Stanko's horns while recording his latest, Tomasz Dabrowski ...
