The Jack DeJohnette Group: Live at Yoshi's 2010
by John Kelman
In the text file accompanying his digital download-only Live at Yoshi's 2010, Jack DeJohnette is quoted, ..."Each piece is different every time we play it." Fans of this veteran drummer--for whom a precise count of all the artists he's worked with (let alone all the recordings he's appeared on) would be an exercise in futility--would have ...
Jack DeJohnette: Time and Space
by John Kelman
It begins with the sound of a resonating bell, followed by a gently cascading piano solo that gradually assumes shape and form, hovering around two chords and creating an inviting ambiance that resolves with another ringing of the bell, segueing gently into the groove-heavy “Salsa for Luisito."

Nothing trumps right place, right time. Sure, most artists pay plenty of dues-- sometimes in the public eye, oftentimes not--but for some, there's that serendipitous event that leads to greater visibility.

Sarah Wilson: Trapeze Project
by Bruce Lindsay
Few contemporary jazz musicians can have paid their dues in the esoteric environment of a puppet theater, but for Sarah Wilson the Bread and Butter Puppet Theater proved to be an invaluable part of her musical education. Trapeze Project, the trumpeter's second album, is such an engaging and evocative recording that maybe more jazz players should ...

Michael Gregory Jackson: Clarity
by Clifford Allen
Michael Gregory Jackson Clarity ESP-Disk 2010 (1976) In the musical climate of 2010, the fact that a diverse range of musical styles and approaches can be combined is something often taken for granted.
