Carol Liebowitz and Nick Lyons: The Inner Senses
by Troy Dostert
A freely improvised session for jazz traditionalists--at least, that is one way to characterize this enticing offering from pianist Carol Liebowitz and alto saxophonist Nick Lyons, the follow-up to their duo debut, First Set (Line Art, 2016). While there is a great deal of extemporaneity and surprise on hand, the two seasoned veterans also delight in ...
Dave Stryker: Stryker with Strings Goes to the Movies
by Richard J Salvucci
If this recording were named “Dave Stryker Plays Bernard Hermann" (or Miklós Rózsa or Elmer Bernstein), well that would be just fine. They were all gifted composers who wrote film scores. The consensus would likely be that a musician like Stryker was hardly wasting his time, but Stryker With Strings Goes to the Movies hits the ...
Bruna Black: Vã Revelação
by Richard J Salvucci
Bruna Black is yet another one of those performers who started as something other than a singer but got there as soon as she could. Supposedly, she was a semi-pro basketball player, although that is not easy to run down. She certainly is a singer and a good one. Her repertoire in this recording is all ...
Kiki Valera: Vacilón Santiaguero
by Richard J Salvucci
In Cuban Spanish (and, for sure, there is no generic Spanish in Latin America), vacilón means, well, one hell of a good time. And that is what you can expect from this punchy collection, a great time a la Santiago de Cuba, the capital of one of Cuba's southeastern provinces. It is the land of Bacardí ...
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. Their use of vibraphone, pedal steel and harp, in addition to the more common instruments of guitar, saxophone and bass, gives ...
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. Mood Ingênuo: Pixinguinha Meets Duke Ellington with Paulo Moura (Jazzheads, 1999), Brasilified (Tiger Turn, 2022) and Bossas and Ballads (Tiger Turn, 2024) are among other examples in his discography. He recorded Urban ...
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 ...
