Stephan Crump: Stephan Crump's Rhombal
by Mark Corroto
Often times, a jazz performance without a chordal instrument, a guitar or piano, is considered to be flying without a net. Exciting, but often without aim.

The Claudia Quintet: Super Petite
by Glenn Astarita

If you have a really short tune, the whole thing has to be compelling." Hence, ...
The Claudia Quintet: Super Petite
by Geno Thackara

The piece isn't catchy and ...
