As the decade evolved, the hard-bop sound smoothed out, placing an emphasis on collective harmony and the driving force ...
Roberto Magris & Eric Hochberg: Shuffling Ivories
by Dan McClenaghan
You cannot get a sound that is more dead-center-of-the-U.S.A than pianist Roberto Magris and Eric Hochberg's Shuffling Ivories. This makes sense geographically as the disc comes from Kansas City's JMood Records, the label that seems intent on recording everything that Magris has to offer, including the pianist's 2020 magnum opus, Suite.

by Kyle Simpler
Record producers don't always get the same amount of attention as the musicians featured on an album, but their role and influence is vital in the recording process.
