Chris Washburne and the SYOTOS Band: Land of Nod
by Elliott Simon
Jazz in this first decade of the 21st Century has few artists using their music to confront the prevailing political climate. Jazz as protest music is an interesting historical artifact that was part of its '60s adolescence, before the music matured into an accepted field of academic study. The jazz educational establishment is more interested in ...
Jamie Oehlers' Double Drummer Group: You R Here
by Bev Stapleton
After years of neglect, it would seem as if the electric jazz of the 1970s is finally coming back into favour. With direct explorations of the Miles Davis legacy by Henry Kaiser & Wadada Leo Smith and Finland's UMO Jazz Orchestra, plus the creation of new music in this style by Wallace Roney, Dave Douglas and ...
Chris Washburne and the SYOTOS Band: Land of Nod
by Michael P. Gladstone
Trombonist, composer and bandleader Chris Washburne heads up a spirited band called SYOTOS, which is an acronym for “See You On The Other Side," which dates back to an expression used by him just before his successful cancer surgery to his fellow musicians.

Chris Washburne and the SYOTOS Band: Land of Nod
by Dan McClenaghan
Call this jazz protest CD by trombonist Chris Washburne “Latin jazz with an attitude." The phrase “Land of Nod" originated with Jonathan Swift (Gulliver's Travels) in reference to a state of slumber. As a collective whole, the American public may have undergone a collective political nodding off, though recent elections seem to offer some solace--a critical ...

Mark Weinstein: Algo Mas
by Mark F. Turner
This unique recording has an uplifting spirit that blends traditonal Afro-Cuban clave rhythms and vocals with elements of jazz, rock, contemporary dance, and world music. Not to sound overly descriptive, but this music is thick with Old and New World persona; to those familiar with New York-based flautist Mark Weinstein, this should come as no surprise. ...
Arthur Lipner: Modern Vibe
by Woodrow Wilkins
Delightful is perhaps the best term to describe Arthur Lipner's cover of the pop classic “Love the One You're With." That's the worst I can say about his new CD, Modern Vibe. From the first note, the opening song grabs your listener's attention. After two no-frills verses, Lipner gets into the groove with an energetic solo. ...
