Dave Frank: Ballads & Burners
by C. Michael Bailey
For pianist, composer, and educator Dave Frank, the magic is in the left hand. Ballads & Burners is a collection of original compositions that brims with muscularity and assertion, whether ballads or burners. What makes Frank interesting is the complexity of melody and rhythm he composes into his up-tempo pieces. The opener, “Spirit of the Burn, ...
Chris Washburne and the SYOTOS Band: Land of Nod
by Jerry D'Souza
The current political climate in the US is ripe for (and rife with) comment. Several calls have come for criticism--and with Land of Nod, Chris Washburne adds his voice to them. There are no lyrics on the recording, but the titles of his compositions and the strong message of the liner notes get the message across.
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.

The jazz educational establishment is more interested in ...

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 ...
