Globe Unity Orchestra & the Choir of the NDR-Broadcast: Hamburg '74
by Jerry D'Souza
Alexander von Schlippenbach wrote the first tune on this record as a radio project for the NDR Jazz Workshop in 1974. From his imagination sprung a conjunction of classical music and of jazz (as he and the Globe Unity Orchestra fermented it). It would have been so easy to let the two entwine and create a ...
Pete Mills: Art and Architecture
by Jerry D'Souza
If there is one defining aspect about Pete Mills, it is his ability to pave a path that is in direct communication with his listeners. Though he often shows a big, brawny disposition, he never overplays his hand. And while there is turmoil and a roiling heat as he takes the high post-bop road, he also ...

The Stacie McGregor Quintet: Straight Up
by Jerry D'Souza
Stacie McGregor comes bopping back again with Straight Up. She released this album independently last year, but over the months it garnered enough interest for her to go in and re-record some tracks, have some remastered and even add a new tune. The album had been added to playlists in Germany, Australia, Hungary, Poland and Spain, ...
The Willie August Project: Surrender to the Wind
by Jerry D'Souza
The Willie August Project went into the studio, turned on a two track tape, and recorded these tunes. No overdubs and edits for them; the music is as how it was played. To do that requires a lot of confidence and guts. It goes to the credit of the band that they make quite an impression, ...
Los Changos Septet: Anit Negra

More proof that jazz spreads its wings, ensnares and influences is writ large on this offering from Los Changos. This is their first recording as a group of seven, expanding from the core of Julio A. Santillan, Fernando Huergo, and Franco Pinna, who met at Berklee, eventually formed a band and released their first CD, Desde ...
