Marc Copland: Some More Love Songs
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Marc Copland--who, oddly, began his jazz career as a saxophonist--took an artistic leap forward with his three New York Trio recordings on Pirouet Records.

Marc Copland: Some More Love Songs
by Dan Bilawsky
Seven years and a handful of albums under his own name separate pianist Marc Copland's Some Love Songs (Pirouet, 2005) and this winning sequel session.
