Andrew Rathbun: Atwood Suites
by Paul Rauch
The mingling of jazz music and poetry is not a new concept. It has always been an amiable, yet at times, uncomfortable fit. From a verse standpoint, it is in many ways liberating. While most vocalized lyrics and spoken word forms rely on rhyme to speak to cadence and rhythm, free verse poetry liberates the narrative ...
Andrew Rathbun: Atwood Suites
by Friedrich Kunzmann
In a way, the Atwood Suites have been in the works for almost two decades.

Consequently, the “Power ...

Brooklyn Jazz Underground: A Trio of Hits
by Franz A. Matzner
Modern jazz has a problem. And Brooklyn Jazz Underground Records' recent slate of releases illustrates the growing dilemma: a surfeit of excellence.

Jeremy Siskind: Finger-Songwriter
by AAJ Italy Staff
A due anni dal cd d'esordio Simple Songs, Jeremy Siskind conferma le coordinate di fondo della sua estetica in un quadro espressivo più organico e maturo. In questo lavoro ritroviamo la propensione verso climi cantabili, spesso coniugati alla forma canzone ma il progetto è finalmente coerente e caratterizzato da reminiscenze tradizionali (il jazz pre-boppistico, il song ...
