John Escreet: The Age We Live In
by Mark F. Turner
John Escreet just keeps pressing forward with recordings that are not stuck in the quagmire of normalcy. From his auspicious debut, Consequences (Posi-tone, 2008), to his equally ambitious sophomore release, Don't Fight The Inevitable (Mythology Records, 2010), the young pianist has demonstrated imagination and abilities in the same vein as Jason Moran and Craig Taborn. His ...
Pianist/Composer John Escreet Releases New CD "The Age We Live in" on Mythology Records.
A year ago, the New York Times, in a review of keyboardist/composer John Escreet's second album, boldly declared that the young New York-based British-expat “seems to be thinking about where jazz can go next."

by Bruce Lindsay

by Dan Bilawsky
The quintet that came together to record Round Red Light is a unique conglomeration of established talent, rising-star scene-stealers, and artists who are only starting their ascent and journey upward in the world of jazz. While guitarist Dave Juarez falls into the last category, his debut album should go a long way in creating a buzz ...
Lars Dietrich: Stand Alone
by Bruce Lindsay
Genuine solo albums are hard to come by. For far too many musicians, a solo album is simply one where none of the collaborators get their names on the front cover. The real thing can have many benefits for the soloist--no other musicians to pay, no awkward clashes of egos, no breaking up over musical differences. ...
