Mark Guiliana: Jersey

by Geno Thackara
September 22, 2017

With an all-encompassing style that keeps him in high demand throughout the jazz world and beyond, perhaps it's unsurprising (if unfortunate) that Mark Guiliana boasts only a handful of titles to his own name. The middle of the 2010s saw him drumming in sessions with Dave Douglas or Avishai Cohen (among others) to briefly subbing with ...

Possibilites: Get 'Em

April 24, 2017

The saxophone/bass/drums grouping--at one time a rarity--seems to be undergoing a renewal of sorts. Drummer Rudy Royston offered up a fine example of the genre with Rise Of Orion (Greenleaf Music, 2016). Saxophonist JD Allen dove deep into the blues on Americana (Savant Records, 2016), and sax man Jason Rigby presented a breakout effort on the ...

Jason Rigby: Detroit-Cleveland Trio: One

Same thing with Ornette Coleman and his two ...

Il lavoro è tutto sommato convenzionale, tipico di ...
