Joe McPhee Po Music: Oleo
by Jeff Stockton
Since his return to active recording and performing in the mid '90s, Joe McPhee's music has always been influenced by the palpable joy he takes from exploring the color and texture of sound. That's why it's startling to hear him tear into the familiar Sonny Rollins-penned title track so conventionally. And why it's even more startling, ...
Dr. Lonnie Smith: Too Damn Hot!
by Joel Roberts
I'm not sure where his doctorate or trademark turban come from, but there's no doubting Dr. Lonnie Smith's credentials when it comes to scorching soul jazz organ. From his landmark '60s turns with George Benson and Lou Donaldson (with whom he still appears regularly) to last year's surprising album of Beck tunes, Smith has proven himself ...
The John Hart Trio: Indivisible
by John Kelman
It's unfortunate that certain guitarists are so pervasive that others are inevitably assessed in comparison. Play with a certain Midwestern sensibility and warm tone and images of Pat Metheny abound. Add a little distortion and some blue notes and John Scofield is almost sure to be cited. Incorporate some quirky Americana leanings and Bill Frisell will ...
Christiana Drapkin & Charles Sibirsky: Songs About You
by Michael P. Gladstone
Subtitled Jazz Standards & New Tunes, this second album by singer Christiana Drapkin offers six selections from the Great American Songbook and jazz standards, along with six new originals. The group is headed by pianist Charles Sibirsky, who is Drapkin's teacher/composer/accompanist. He is an adept pianist and has written some good material here. The album opens ...
Frank Jackson: New York After Dark
by Michael P. Gladstone
San Francisco's Frank Jackson has an impressive musical resume. At age 78, he has 60 years of musical experience as a singer/pianist. He dates back to Bay Area jazz clubs like Jimbo's Bop City and Slim Gaillard's Voute City and has been associated with some of the jazz masters of the Twentieth Century (e.g. Parker, Webster, ...
Bob Dorough: Sunday At Iridium
by Jerry D'Souza
Bob Dorough has had a long and varied career. He injected vocalese into “Yardbird Suite" in 1955, was musically associated with Blossom Dearie during that time, and wrote and directed the Schoolhouse Rock series in the seventies and into the middle of the next decade. He currently has a Sunday spot during brunch at the Iridium ...
Joan Stiles: Love Call
by Dan McClenaghan
On Joan Stiles debut, Love Call, the pianist sometimes had me thinking of Erroll Garner, with a bright elan in her right hand flourishes; and sometimes she had me thinking of Thelonious Monk, with quirky chords and odd angles; but mostly she reminds me--as an arranger, not a player--of Ellington, penning her charts, masterfully, with the ...
Tom McIntosh: With Malice Toward None
by John Kelman
Like bassist Percy Heath, who finally released his first album at the age of 80, trombonist Tom McIntosh has waited for his own record. Something of a musician's musician, over the past 45 years McIntosh has spent a lot of time playing with and contributing compositions to a wide range of artists, including James Moody, Dizzy ...
Jose and Nomar Negroni
by Tomas Pena
Pianist Jose Negroni represents a new generation of Puerto Rican musicians whose music transcends the traditional salsa format. His music seamlessly fuses elements of “straight ahead" jazz with classical lyricism and hints of the folkloric rhythms of Puerto Rico. Negroni earned his Bachelor's Degree at the prestigious Conservatiorio de Musica de Puerto Rico. Consequently, Negroni taught ...
Pete Zimmer: Common Man
by Dan McClenaghan
New York-based drummer Pete Zimmer backs a hard-bopping quintet on his debut disc, Common Man ; and you can't help thinking “retro" with this sound--tenor saxophone and trumpet in front of a bass/drums/piano rhythm team. But it's “retro" in the best possible sense of the word, an energetic celebration of the established sound by a very ...
