Marc Copland: Zenith and Haunted Heart
by John Ephland
Zenith InnerVoice Jazz 2016 There's some shared, ongoing history here. Between drummer Joey Baron and bassist Drew Gress, pianist Marc Copland has logged some pretty decent music time. Add trumpeter Ralph Alessi and there's a new element, one not found in the rhythm section's work with guitarist John Abercrombie or in the ...
Gilad Atzmon And The Orient House Ensemble: The Whistle Blower
by John Ephland
There's a soulful crying to much of this music that makes it so convincing, so enjoyable. It's blues music from someplace other than the Deep South. Starting with the first track, “Gaza Mon Amour," veteran multi-instrumentalist Gilad Atzmon somehow manages to invoke the spirit of John Coltrane (think “A Love Supreme"), along with a kind of ...
Myriam Alter: Crossways
by John Ephland
There's a soulful melancholy to much of this music. Composer/pianist Myriam Alter has created yet another collection of her songs that have the potential to evoke feelings of yearning, sadness and perhaps a deep buried joy with Crossways. Akin to a previous outing on enja, the elegiac Where Is There, Crossways can be heard as a ...
Stockholm Jazz Festival 2015
by John Ephland
Stockholm Jazz Festival Stockholm, Sweden October 9-18, 2015 The sleeper at this year's Stockholm Jazz Festival, and one this reviewer initially found more a curiosity than anything else, oddly enough was downright riveting, not to mention the first evening's headliner. More in the category of being a name crossover artist ...
Various Artists: The Magic & The Mystery Of The Piano Trio: Ballads & Lullabies
by John Ephland
It's rare that a collection of songs that stay the course with a theme from track to track can hold interest. Especially when the tunes are so spare in execution, essentially simple love songs, performed by a collection of trios who maintain distinct musical personalities. Such is the case with The Magic And The Mystery.

Hu Vibrational: The Epic Botanical Beat Suite

Uniquely atmospheric, this music evokes both the mysterious jungle as well as what it might be like to listen in space, outer space.

Moon Hooch at Shakespeare's Pub
by John Ephland
Moon Hooch Shakespeare's Pub Kalamazoo, Michigan May 29, 2015 It was an interesting combination. Two saxophones and a drummer, along with a sound system that kept everyone on their feet, if not dancing. The up-and-coming New York aspirants Moon Hooch (previously touring with They Might Be Giants, Lotus and Galactic), on ...
Warren Vache Quintet: Warren Vache Quintet Remembers Benny Carter
by John Ephland
There's lots of life to this recording. Veteran trumpeter Warren Vache knows a thing or two about an old friend, mentor Benny Carter.
