Eddie Daniels / Roger Kellaway: Live At The Library Of Congress

Read "Live At The Library Of Congress" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


The Library Of Congress is a repository for important cultural artifacts, so it seems only fitting that it should serve as the stage for a duo recital from two of jazz's greatest treasures. Clarinetist Eddie Daniels and pianist Roger Kellaway have built their individual careers and reputations as genre-blind artists with near-unmatched technical prowess on their ...

Post Jazz Mistress: Global Warming

Read "Global Warming" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


This Italian trio aims on imparting a new paradigm, concerning the somewhat populist integrations of jazz, progressive-rock, fusion and world music. With electric guitarist Osvaldo Di Dio's big sound, aligned with an acoustic rhythm section, the program is underscored by absorbing contrasts and tonalities. Largely consisting of slow to medium-tempo works, the sonorous soundscapes ...

Neil Cowley Trio: Radio Silence

Read "Radio Silence" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

The manner by which ...

Hendrik Meurkens: Live At Bird's Eye

Read "Live At Bird's Eye" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


As a virtuoso harmonicist and vibraphonist, Hendrik Meurkens has always reigned supreme in the unique instrument doublers category, yet he never seems to get the attention he fully deserves. The German-born, New York-based Meurkens has been making beautiful and bouncy Brazilian-based music for decades with his instruments of choice, and Live At Bird's Eye is no ...

Jimmy Owens: The Monk Project

Read "The Monk Project" reviewed by Greg Simmons


Thelonious Monk is not suffering from inattention in 2011; it seems, in fact, that he's having a great year, for someone who died in 1982. His singularly quirky tunes have become the staples of hundreds of set lists, and it's hard to swing a dead cat in a record store without hitting dozens of new releases ...
