Ray Marchica: In the Ring
by John Kelman
You have to admire itinerant working musicians who manage to put together fresh sounding recording dates that show their broader interests, while at the same time taking care of business.

Cedar Walton: Underground Memoirs
by John Kelman
The strength of any great musical interpreter is his or her ability to see the truth at the core of any great tune.

While each region brings its own cultural viewpoint into play, some of the most intriguing music happens when artists from ...
Hubert Nuss: Feed the Birds
by John Kelman
Already in his forties and an in-demand player in his native Germany with the NDR and WDR Radio Big Bands, among others, pianist Hubert Nuss is something of an unknown entity elsewhere, certainly to North American audiences.
