Guillermo Klein: Los Guachos V
by Budd Kopman
If a creator has a vision, being persistent in working to bring it to life is a requirement. This is true in life, for visions big and small, and not just for artists.

Brad Mehldau Trio: Blues and Ballads
by Dan McClenaghan
Call Brad Mehldau's Blues and Ballads the pianist's “Every Man Set."

Brad Mehldau Trio: Blues and Ballads
by Geno Thackara
It's easy to play the blues--or at the very least it's easy to learn the basics--but keeping the form fresh and interesting is another matter entirely. Likewise, any beginner can tackle a quiet ballad, but presenting something simple and pretty is really harder than it sounds. The Brad Mehldau Trio manages its always-distinctive blend of all ...
Will Vinson: Perfectly Out Of Place
by Dan Bilawsky
Perfectly Out Of Place--the sixth album from saxophonist Will Vinson--is a marvel of compositional design, textural beauty, and musicality. It's both in keeping with his previous work and several steps beyond and above.
