Michael Gibbs & The NDR Big Band: Play a Bill Frisell Set List / In My View
by Ian Patterson
Though his recording career dates back to the early 1960s, Zimbabwe-born arranger, composer and musician Michael Gibbs hasn't always been as prolific as a leader as he might have been. Five albums in the first half the 1970 represented his most industrious period of creativity, as teaching, television and film work and arranging for a surprisingly ...

King says of himself, “ My brother, a well-known jazz pianist... cleverly referenced Mccoy Tyner, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and many others. My sisters, on the other hand, ...
Randy Brecker: Hittin' It with "RandyPOP!"
by Bob Kenselaar
In his 62 years playing music--starting trumpet at eight years old--Randy Brecker has played all kinds of music, but for many years now, he's mostly been known as a solid, top-flight, first-call jazz player, a modern post-bop soloist and bandleader who carries around his old '70s fusion-funk Brecker Brothers fame in his back pocket.

Ashley Daneman: Beauty Indestructible
by Angelo Leonardi
È un disco che colpisce, questo di Ashley Daneman, e merita tutta la nostra attenzione.

Qualcosa che ...

Randy Brecker: RandyPOP!
by Dan Bilawsky
This album gives new meaning to the idea of rewriting history.

Fred Hersch: Solo
by Mark Sullivan
To paraphrase the famous remark Miles Davis made about Bill Evans, Fred Hersch plays the piano the way it ought to be played. This album documents a live performance from August, 2014, which was not originally intended for release. But when Hersch listened to it, he changed his mind. “I firmly believe this may be the ...
Halie Loren: Butterfly Soaring
by R.J. DeLuke
Its hard to categorize Halie Loren--for those who feel the need to do so--a singer/songwriter who started performing at age 10 in her native state of Alaska and now, from her home in Oregon, tours jazz clubs and jazz events on a regular basis in different parts of the world and regales audiences with her light, ...
