Giovanni Guidi Trio: City of Broken Dreams
by John Kelman
It seemed inevitable. After working with Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava on 2013's Michael Jackson tribute, Rava on the Dance Floor, and 2011's more intimate Tribe, it should come as no surprise that pianist Giovanni Guidi--the only connecting thread between those two records (other than, of course, Rava)--should find himself with an opportunity to make his own ...
Keith Jarrett / Gary Peacock / Jack DeJohnette: Somewhere

Frederick Moyer: When Summer Comes
by Nicholas F. Mondello
A hardened cynic might think it could be a “grass is greener" rationale for a world-class concert pianist to take on a slew of GAS and jazz standards and record them in a solo format. “Ego-brushing," might also be tossed about.
