Scott Feiner: Accents

Read "Accents" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

While drummer-leaders don't usually get enough credit, pandeiro-leaders usually don't exist. The pandeiro--a small, handheld instrument that marries that best traits of a deeper-sounding, jingle-less frame drum and a tambourine--is a staple of Brazilian percussion. When Scott Feiner first encountered the instrument, during his first trip to Brazil in 1999, he immediately took to it. In ...

Jacam Manricks: Trigonometry

Read "Trigonometry" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

by Raul d'Gama Rose

The reason that there is seldom a wrong note played by Jacám Manricks on Trigonometry is that notes, phrases and the spiraling flow of seemingly unending lines appear to be so extremely well thought-out that nothing could possibly sound out of place. To hear the saxophonist play in soft, dulcet tones that occupy the paler colors ...

Jacám Manricks: Trigonometry

Read "Trigonometry" reviewed by Mark Corroto

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 ...

Jacám Manricks: Trigonometry

Read "Trigonometry" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

His pleasing and pure-toned ...

Raphael Imbert Trio: N_Y Project

Read "N_Y Project" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

by Bruce Lindsay

Bookending eleven of your own tunes with Duke Ellington's “Echoes of Harlem" and John Coltrane's “Central Park West" is a bold decision for any jazz musician to make--it's a confident statement and a risky one. On N_Y Project the decision pays off--saxophonist Raphael Imbert's compositions have their own strengths and innovations, ensuring that they stand such ...
