Jim McNeely: Barefoot Dances and Other Visions
by Jerome Wilson
When today's top composer-arrangers of large ensemble jazz are discussed, Jim McNeely's name sometimes gets overlooked. He deserves the recognition. He's been a long- time associate of the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra and its descendant, the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, and he's also done a lot of work with several European big bands. It could be ...
Rachel Caswell: We're All in the Dance
by Mark Sullivan
If you want proof of singer Rachel Caswell's jazz chops, you could skip right to the last two tracks. She scats the head of bebop saxophonist Charlie Parker's evergreen “Dexterity" along with guitarist (and producer) Dave Stryker, then blends in with the rest of the band for a round of solos. Sticking with the bebop theme, ...
Samuel Martinelli: Crossing Paths
by Dan Bilawsky
Crossing Paths, the debut from New York-based Brazilian drummer Samuel Martinelli, is a quartet date rich in rhythmic verve. Martinelli provides strong originals, puts his own stamp on a classic or two, adds hearty support, and delivers with grace while his seasoned colleagues--trumpeter Claudio Roditi, bassist Marcus McLaurine, and pianist Tomoko Ohno--magnify his intentions and find ...
Tony Adamo Releases Was Out Jazz Zone Mad on Ropeadope Records. Available September 14, 2018
Born in San Francisco, California, Tony Adamo has strong ties to his Italian American family in the Bronx and Brooklyn.

Carol Liebowitz/Bill Payne: Spiderwebmandala
by Dan Bilawsky
Spiderwebmandala is an album that miraculously manages to simultaneously capitalize on the concepts of connectivity and detachment, toying with a form of polarity tied to the very notion of togetherness and using it as the ultimate artistic tool. Having worked together since 2010, pianist Carol Liebowitz and clarinetist Bill Payne are more than ...
Hendrik Meurkens/Bill Cunliffe: Cabin In The Sky
by Dan Bilawsky
Hendrik Meurkens is a natural-born collaborator. That statement might smack of the obvious, as jazz musicians on the whole tend to thrive on a synergistic model, but it need be said with regard to this German-born, New York-based harmonica hero (and vibraphonist of note). Whether engaging in a pas de deux with pianist Misha Tsiganov, sharing ...
Bobby Sanabria: West Side Story Reimagined
by Bobby Sanabria
West Side Story holds a special place in my heart. I first saw the movie as a young boy when my parents José and Juanita took me and my sister Joanne to the luxurious Loews Paradise on the Grand Concourse in my hometown Da' Bronx in celebration of the film's 10th anniversary. At that time there wasn't ...

García was immersed in bomba after meeting master percussionist and folklorist Rafael Maya in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, where his parents lived.

Jared Gold: Reemergence
by C. Andrew Hovan
The title of organist Jared Gold's newest release seems to suggest that he is returning to the fold after being away for a time. In actuality, he has been a mainstay on the New York scene for some time now and can boast eight previous albums as a leader dating back to 2008's Solids ...
