Makanda Ken McIntyre: In The Wind: The Woodwind Quartets
by Jerry D'Souza
Makanda Ken McIntyre left behind a wealth of music, some of which appears on this recording. He was an innovator and, if memory need be jogged, this release serves to accomplish that in no uncertain terms. Recorded in 1995 and 1996, McIntyre transformed the music here by overdubbing instruments. That in itself may not mean much, ...

Roberto Magris: Forging Ahead
by Jerry D'Souza
Roberto Magris was born in 1959 in Trieste, a city in Italy that sits at the top of the Adriatic Sea. Within its confines are people who had their origins in the surrounding countries among them Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Hungary and Germany. It is a sort of melting pot, with an effect on the culture of ...
Bud Powell: Eternity
by Jerry D'Souza
It is common knowledge that Bud Powell recorded several tunes while he lived in the house of Francis Paudras in Paris. Paudras sheltered these recordings, but he left the archives in the care of Celia Powell, Bud's daughter. The tracks were selected in conjunction with Jessica Shih of Piadrum Records. Paudras had a piano ...
Alexandre Huber Trio: Organic Sound
by Jerry D'Souza
It was a good day when Alexandre Huber discovered the connection between jazz and the organ. Huber was studying classical music at the Conservatory of Lausanne when jazz came in and he became aware of the extended use that he could make of the organ. So deep was the lure that he taught himself to play ...
Greg Burk Quartet: Carpe Momentum
by Jerry D'Souza
Greg Burk's work may have a quirk, but there is much more to it. He looks to the skies and he looks to his wife, and he even looks to George Russell for inspiration. And all of the fun of meeting more than one is evidenced on this album as the music spins into several spheres ...
John Stein Trio: Interplay
by Jerry D'Souza
On his fifth album as a leader, John Stein eschews original compositions for standards, except for one tune ("Eleanor's Folly"). Picking up some great tunes could be a good idea in itself. But there is ambivalence in his approach. Stein can go out and inject a measure of intensity, or he can keep the cool in ...
Max Leake: Trios
by Jerry D'Souza
This is pianist Max Leake's second release as a leader, after 1985's Buns in the Sun. Between the two, Leake has led a busy life as a musician, playing on thirteen records as a sideman. If that wasn't enough, he has also composed music and produced albums for other performers. If you would like to know ...
L: Absence
by Jerry D'Souza
Jazz and classical music have been merged before with different consequences. Happily, this venture rises above the mundane and the obvious. The architects of this edifice are László Süle and Pentti Lahti, both residents of Finland. The former is the jazz personality; the latter prefers calling himself a folk musician. The dynamics most certainly bring depth ...
Clark Terry: Porgy & Bess
by Jerry D'Souza
Experience and imagination are brothers-in-arms when it comes to Clark Terry and his insight into the remaking of the Gil Evans charts for Porgy and Bess. The Miles Davis recording could well have been the definitive work, but now Terry and the Chicago Jazz Orchestra breathe in some fresh air and bring in another phase to ...
