by Glenn Astarita
Vibraphonist James Westfall participated with several New Orleans-based musicians to cover the music of pop icon David Bowie and took the concept further by using this premise for The Wee Trio's third album. The band projects youthful vigor along the lines of The Bad Plus and Medeski, Martin & Wood; firmly rooted in the jazz vernacular, ...
The Wee Trio On Tour In Support of "Ashes To Ashes - A David Bowie Intraspective"
..."infectious ...raucous ...More, please." —The Boston Globe “an investigative vehicle which shakes with energy... inventive jazz which works on its own merits while retaining Bowie's spirit and self- assurance." —Audiophile Audition “Ashes to Ashes suggests that if you wash 30 years of glam off of Bowie, durable songs remain... there's plenty of adventure and invention in ...
Sasha Masakowski and Musical Playground: Wishes
by C. Michael Bailey
The field of female jazz vocals is somewhat bigger than 40 acres...like, a universe bigger.

by AAJ Italy Staff
