Alex Coke & Carl Michel Sextet: Situation

by Jerome Wilson
This is the third album by the Alex Coke & Carl Michel Sextet and, on it, they continue to refine their integration of jazz, country and classical styles into a more expansive and complex whole.

Karl Latham: Living Standards II

by Glenn Astarita
Karl Latham's Living Standards II offers a daring sonic voyage, boldly blending jazz and classic rock into a transformative musical journey. Following its predecessor, Living Standards (Dropzone Jazz Records, 2016), Latham's quintet breathes remarkable new life into rock anthems, reimagining them as inventive jazz fusion pieces. The album's impressive ensemble--including bassist Mark Egan, guitarist ...
Doug MacDonald: Santa Monica Session

by Richard J Salvucci
Does Doug MacDonald ever sleep? Take a day off? Make a bad recording? Somehow, a listener doubts it. Originally from Philadelphia--home to a few good guitarists, right?--MacDonald moved to Hawaii, Las Vegas, and then to Southern California. His current discography is nothing if not impressive, running to at least three dozen CDs, and MacDonald performs 300 ...
Jessica Jones Quartet: Edible Flowers

by Dan McClenaghan
The Jessica Jones Quartet's Edible Flowers can be described as a pair of hot tenor saxophonists cranking things up and shouting out one freewheeling romp (or rant) after another. There is a structure to her tunes, but the improvisation slice of the pie is a big one. Saxophonist Jones is joined by her sax mate, Tony ...
Cliff Korman: Urban Tracks

by Katchie Cartwright
As ever, Urban Tracks finds pianist, arranger-composer and scholar Cliff Korman alchemizing, jazzifying choros and Brasilifying jazz tunes to create his own distinctive arrangements.

Gino Amato: Latin Crossroads

by Richard J Salvucci
The urge to take advantage of a successful commercial genre never really dies. Back in the 1960s, a studio orchestra nominally assembled by bandleader Glen Gray released a recording, Sounds of the Great Bands in Latin (Capitol, 1964). It took tunes like Early Autumn" or A String of Pearls" and added a Latin" flavor with jazz ...
Eric Frazier: That Place

by Richard J Salvucci
Eric Frazier has been at it a long time, the better part of a quarter century. He started out as a public school teacher and administrator in New York City, and became a conga drummer out of his interest in African music. He has, as the saying goes, been around, played at venues like The Knitting ...
Dave Stryker: Groove Street

by Richard J Salvucci
This is a throwback recording, but in a very good way. Time was someone could get in a car on a weekend morning, roll the window down, turn the FM up and drive to a happy place. It really did not matter much where: the music got you there because it was just that kind of ...
Monika Herzig's Sheroes: All in Good Time

by Dan Bilawsky
Time waits for no woman. In terms of the importance of creating an ensemble to promote and empower female musicians, pianist Monika Herzig came to that realization back in 2014. So she did what was needed, gathering a band of Sheroes to deliver music and message to the people. Now, ten years later, Herzig can look ...

With classical vocal training, drums & percussion, and firm ...
