Orchestre National de Jazz: Piazzolla!
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
The Argentinian composer, bandoneón player and tango revolutionary Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) was no stranger to jazz. As a music student in Paris in the mid-1950s, he was inspired by the joyous improvisation he witnessed in the effervescent Left Bank jazz scene.

Old Time Musketry: Different Times
by Dave Wayne
Brooklyn-based Old Time Musketry is a band whose moniker foreshadows one aspect of the sound it's after, steeped in folk music and Americana.

Jurgen Friedrich: Monosuite
by Dan Bilawsky
Pianist Jurgen Friedrich doesn't play a single note of music on Monosuite, but his personality and cognitive bearing are omnipresent.
