Ken Peplowski: Noir Blue
by C. Michael Bailey
Noir Blue is a slight coloring outside the lines for clarinetist/saxophonist Ken Peplowski. His most recent recordings (with Arbors and Nagel Heyer) have focused on older swing forms and repertoire. Presently, Peplowski is playing pure jazz quartet music with pianist Shelly Berg, bassist Jay Leonhart, and drummer Joe La Barbera. The song choice is anything but ...
Jimmy Giuffre: Ad Lib
by AAJ Italy Staff
Session originariamente pubblicata dalla Verve, Ad Lib meritava di essere ripubblicata. Non solo perché firmata da un un misconosciuto artista di genio come Jimmy Giuffre, ma perché in questa incisione il sobrio e asciutto camerismo del sassofonista, arrangiatore e compositore, così denso di implicite risonanze e segreti accenni, cede temporaneamente il passo a quella che sulla ...
Kirk Knuffke: Amnesia Brown
by Martin Longley
Amnesia Brown was the name bestowed upon trumpeter Kirk Knuffke's absconding not-so-great grandfather. Apparently, he just sidestepped to a nearby town (and a new family), changing his name on the way. It's not quite clear how his memory (or lack of it) informs the repertoire of this album, but he also happens to provide the fourth ...

Charles Evans / Neil Shah: Live at Saint Stephens
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Live At Saint Stephens with baritone saxophonist Charles Evans and pianist Neil Shah-- together with the Dan Tepfer/Lee Konitz Duos With Lee (Sunnyside Records, 2009)--is certainly one of the most wildly adventurous records in recent memory. It is not quite entirely spontaneous or improvisational as some of Keith Jarrett's records are. But playing under a magisterial ...
Into the Fire: Winter Jazzfest 2010
by Gordon Marshall
Winter Jazzfest New York, New York January 8-9, 2010 Fast-forward 30 years from the days in the late 1970s and early '80s when the world-weary wisdom that jazz wasn't a living force anymore was whispered to us--maybe you are getting out of jail, maybe waking from a cryogenic sleep. Before this happened, ...
