Noah Haidu: Carving Out His Place
by R.J. DeLuke
New York-based pianist Noah Haidu came to jazz through the blues, listening to the searing, soulful guitar moans of Buddy Guy and Albert King.

Peter Evans Quintet: Ghosts
by Mark Corroto
The Peter Evans Quintet's Ghosts acts as a sort of back-to-the-future recording--that is, if the present were 2021.

Listening to any recording by Evans often prompts the ...
