Cadwallader, Asetta & Dixon: Quicker Than the Eye
by John Kelman
In the competitive world of the jazz trio, you have to distinguish yourself, or else you run the risk of fading into the background along with the countless others who may have a certain degree of talent, but lack the personal vision to lend their music the distinction necessary to draw listeners in for the long ...
Dave Liebman & Phil Markowitz: Manhattan Dialogues
by John Kelman
Most musicians are fortunate enough to find one musical partner where such shared simpatico exists that they can evolve in perfect tandem--exploring a variety of contexts with the kind of comfort level that ensures complete trust and an unfettered imagination that makes no pursuit beyond reach. To find more than one is rare indeed. Saxophonist Dave ...
Bull Fonda Duo: Cup of Joe, No Bull
by Michael P. Gladstone
This is the third Katie Bull album that I've heard, and her work is very consistent. The New York-based singer divides her time between traditional jazz vocals and outside vocal excursions. This is the sparest of the sessions in that it is a duo recording of just voice and acoustic bass, without the added cushion of ...
Barbara Montgomery: Trinity
by Michael P. Gladstone
Trinity is a very dramatic and theatrical effort that thematically strives to present all aspects of the human spirit, both positive and negative. Singer Barbara Montgomery has a dramatic and theatrical presentation, and her smoky voice is a fine way to deliver her messages on many of these mournful songs. One can easily describe her as ...
Bull Fonda Duo: Cup of Joe, No Bull
by C. Michael Bailey
In a very effective jazz arranging technique for introductions, the vocalist starts a capella and the bass enters immediately. The two duet with one another for a chorus, at which time the whole ensemble joins the fray. This is a nice touch, adding a bit of tension and expectation to the natural swing of a piece. ...
Dave Stryker: Big City
by John Kelman
While jazz's miniscule 3% of overall CD sales in North America argues that it's not only marginalized, but in serious trouble, the genre continues to see an upsurge in the number of gifted players who operate with loyal followings that may not make them wealthy, but certainly allow them to continue evolving. For every high-profile artist ...
Arturo O'Farrill: Live in Brooklyn
by John Kelman
With the advent of relatively inexpensive recording equipment, it's now possible to document almost any live performance. Some artists, in fact, record virtually every show and then piece together a live album from the best performances, as saxophonist Wayne Shorter has done on his new release, the outstanding Beyond the Sound Barrier. But just ...
Arturo O'Farrill: Live in Brooklyn
by AAJ Staff
This Latin-flavored live date (recorded in August, 2003 at Brooklyn's Up Over Jazz Café) features the pianist son of Chico O'Farrill--now a successful forty-something small and big bandleader in his own right--in a relatively straight-ahead trio setting with bassist Andy Gonzalez and drummer Dafnis Prieto. There's no mistaking the liveness or spontaneity of invention here, and ...
Bireli Lagrene & Friends: Live Jazz
by Celeste Sunderland
Birele Lagrene Live Jazz Á Vienne Dreyfus Records 2005 The little boy on stage is barely big enough to hold the guitar in his lap, but he plays with startling skill. Just beginning to develop a technique, his innocence is brilliant. He smiles humbly at the audience at Montreux.
Eric Comstock: No One Knows
by Jerry D'Souza
Eric Comstock's third album finds the pianist/vocalist moving deeper into jazz territory with a stellar cast of jazz musicians. The move certainly works; while the band serves in top-notch fashion, Comstock makes it all the more relevant with his ability to phrase and enunciate these pieces the way jazz song should be treated. Stylistic touches apart, ...
