John McNeil and Bill McHenry: Chill Morn He Climb Jenny
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Navigating the wide avenue of American Song can be boring, because the same charts appear on album after album; but when musicians either pick little-known charts of the celebrated composers of the American Songbook, or add little-known composers to that musical tome, things get quirky, but utterly refreshing.

Jacám Manricks: Trigonometry
by Mark Corroto
There is a snap to the music of saxophonist Jacám Manricks' music that calls to mind the invention of bebop with it's fidgety energy. Without looking backwards, this recording re-invents that atmosphere of bop animation. After self-releasing Labyrinth (2009), he returns with a stellar cast of players that includes his quartet of Gary Versace ...
