The New Gary Burton Quartet: Common Ground
by John Kelman
In a career now entering its sixth decade, vibraphonist Gary Burton has participated in plenty of one-off recordings, paying tribute to everyone from tango master Astor Piazzolla to mallet-men who have come before, like Lionel Hampton and Milt Jackson. His discography has been nothing if not unfailingly consistent--every recording meticulously conceived and flawlessly executed. A project, ...
Pat Metheny: What's It All About
by John Kelman
Pat Metheny has released plenty of solo albums over the years, but One Quiet Night (Nonesuch, 2003) found him turning to a different modus operandi, imposing a series of restrictions: one guitar, one tuning, no overdubs. An intimate album of mostly original material, beyond three covers including Keith Jarrett's “My Song" and Gerry & the Pacemakers' ...
Colin Vallon Trio: Rruga
by Dan McClenaghan
The piano trio--piano, bass and drums--can seem something of an anachronism in a time when musical artists make use of synthesizers, electronics, laptops and loops to craft their sounds. But scores of pianists still go to the acoustic trio format as one of their primary means of expression. In looking toward jazz veterans, Keith Jarrett and ...
Keith Jarrett - Radiance (2005)
By Mark Saleski Some musicians have the ability to transcend their physical talents to put on display their thought processes, a sort of direct conduit between the hands and that mysterious inner pool of music. Or... in Keith Jarrett's case, the lack of thought: How we arrive at profound thoughts has a lot to do with ...

Craig Taborn: Avenging Angel
by John Kelman
He puts out albums under his own name so rarely, while amassing a discography as a sideman/co-leader that's almost unparalleled in its sheer size and stylistic breadth—with over 100 recordings to date, since he first showed up in saxophonist James Carter's groups of the mid-1990s—that it's cause for celebration any time pianist Craig Taborn gets around ...

Chick Corea: Creative Giant
by Esther Berlanga-Ryan
Virtuosity is a beautiful thing. One would somehow like to believe that anybody can learn how to play any given instrument with delicate, enchanting energy; but truth be told, some are simply born with a gift that most can only dream of. The ability to amaze others through music, enriching the hearts and widening the creative ...
Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, Jack Dejohnette - The out-of-Towners (2004)
By Mark Saleski Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, Jack DeJohnette. Piano, bass, drums. A rational person might ask, “Do we really need another live record from these people?" The answer, at least in my book (and I may not be rational), is a big yes. This trio, though they do have chops galore, is mostly about feeling ...
Fred Hersch: Alone at the Vanguard
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The beauty of subtle emotion and the glacial calm of Fred Hersch's pianism are so arresting and so captivating that it virtually stops the breath. His mastery of the instrument, coupled with a deep and soulful connection with the joy of music gives Hersch the unique power to both entertain as well as heal the mind ...
