Luke Gillespie: Moving Mists

Read "Moving Mists" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Insegnante di piano jazz all'Indiana University e leader di un trio, Luke Gillespie ha mostrato in altri dischi di saper rileggere con inventiva il songbook jazzistico, aggiungendo personali doti d'autore.

John Raymond and Real Feels: Live Vol. 2

Read "Live Vol. 2" reviewed by Peter J. Hoetjes


After releasing his album Joy Ride (Sunnyside Records) early in 2018, John Raymond took his band Real Feels on the road to experiment with the songs they created.

Orrin Evans: Presence

Read "Presence" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


You have to wonder how many outlets a restless creative like hard bopping pianist Orrin Evans needs to fully express himself.
