Blues, Touch, Bop and Rhythm: In the Hands of Kenny Barron
In the midst of a tour of America's Heartland, NEA Jazz Master pianist Kenny Barron took time to address a Saturday morning gathering of students and miscellaneous enthusiasts in Iowa City, a prelude to the evening's concert with his trio and special touring partner David Sanchez.

Kenny Barron - Live at SFJazz
I recently saw Kenny Barron in performance during the San Francisco Jazz Festival. He is an elegant and melodic player and was in top form on October 24th.

Harvie S: Cocolamus Bridge
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The re-imagining of a traditional Irish ballad, “Eili Gheal Chiuin," does more than define the breathtaking skills of bassist Harvie S, as he takes wing on Cocolamus Bridge.

Eric Felton: Seize the Night
by C. Michael Bailey
Eric Felten's Seize the Night is a throwback to the tradition of Jack Teagarden, that has carried forward through Wycliffe Gordon and Vincent Gardner; that is, the tradition of the singer-trombonist. A talented songwriter, Felten, is also quite the instrumentalist in composing and performing, as evidenced by his original ,"Three-Martini Lunch." More swing ...
Meeco: Perfume e Carícias
by Dan Bilawsky
Everything about the music of Meeco speaks of subtlety, seduction and mood, from the cover art--with vocalist-lyricist Eloisia embracing him in what can only be described as a Calvin Klein advertisement-type pose--to the title itself, which is Portuguese for “Perfume and Caresses." The music, presented in easy-to-digest short tracks, with the longest performance clocking in at ...
