Andre Matos: Quare
by Nic Jones
Quare is Portuguese-born/New York-resident guitarist André Matos' third album as a leader, and his first for saxophonist Greg Osby's Inner Circle Music label. The label might be the guitarist's natural musical home, as he offers a variation on the theme of the tradition every bit as singular as Osby's; this album could have been yet another ...
Esperanza Spalding: Chamber Music Society
by Eugene Holley, Jr.
The jazz world hasn't been the same ever since the twenty-something Esperanza Spalding--the Oregon-born, Texas-based bassist/singer/composer/educator--burst on the scene at the change of the century. Her story as a self-taught, home schooled prodigy who graduated from Berklee and became that institution's youngest instructor; who gigged with everybody from Patti Austin and Pat Metheny to Joe Lovano; ...
Andre Matos: Fantasies Realized
by William Carey
There is no doubt that André Matos has chops to burn. Placed firmly in the tradition of John Abercrombie and Pat Martino, with a bit of Sonny Sharrock at moments, a lot of Berklee (College of Music) influence is readily apparent, but with a bit of headiness that also reflects the guitarist's time at the New ...

Leo Genovese: Unlocked
by Phil DiPietro
Boston takes pride in it's stature as one of those old Yankee towns where it's tough to establish a foothold--a place where it takes three generations to break into an old neighborhood. While it's brimming with young jazz talent, the majority make the most of the locally rigorous musical pedagogy before making haste for ...
