Tom Dempsey / Tim Ferguson: What's Going On?
by Michael P. Gladstone
The New York-based team of guitarist Tom Dempsey and bassist Tim Ferguson has been playing as a duo over the course of the past twenty years. It is, indeed, a shame that knowledge of the quality of this music appears to be a state secret. Their collaborative What's Going On? provides not only a ...
The Rave Tesar Trio: You Decide
by C. Michael Bailey
Jazz is music of inherent high quality. Like sex and pizza, even the worst one experiences is still pretty good. This is why the jazz audience has such a high tolerance for trio recordings. The vast majority are very good, while not being great. This trio tachyphylaxis makes it difficult for the erstwhile trio leader to ...
Louie Bellson & Clark Terry: Louie & Clark Expedition 2
by Jerry D'Souza
Drummer Louie Bellson and trumpeter Clark Terry trump age to front a big band with verve and youthful vitality.

by Michael P. Gladstone
Coming on the heels of her well-received debut album, The Right Time (Rhombus, 2004), jazz singer Melody Breyer-Grell's Fascinatin' Rhythms: Singing Gershwin is an appreciation of the Gershwin songbook. This is, by itself, a daunting task, since there are many preceding greats who have interpreted these songs many times over. Tackling tunes like “Embraceable You," “Someone ...

Diane Hoffman: My Little French Dancer
by Michael P. Gladstone
Jazz vocalist Diane Hoffman's decision to open My Little French Dancer with Magidson and Wrubel's “Gone With the Wind" is indeed a wise one. There are perhaps a dozen or so top echelon jazz singers who have provided a vocal version of this jazz standard, including Anita O'Day, Carmen McRae and a young Betty Carter's unforgettable ...
Jane Ira Bloom: Mental Weather
by Martin Longley
Jane Ira Bloom is a pixie. An electronicized pixie, to be precise. This is not entirely a musical image, but also a description of her onstage demeanor. Mental Weather's chief quality is one of capering lightness, as the quartet leader's soprano saxophone negotiates the tricky lines set up by the composing half of her brain, navigating ...
