Lester Young: Live at Birdland

Read "Live at Birdland" reviewed by Graham L. Flanagan


Whenever a label decides to blow the dust off of a live Lester Young recording, the results are unlikely to disappoint. Such is the case with Live at Birdland, which fits on one disc three different live radio broadcasts. The first of the three sets was recorded January 15, 1953 and broadcast on ...

Steve Kuhn Trio: Live at Birdland

Read "Live at Birdland" reviewed by Larry Taylor


It's been said that “Jazz is the sound of surprise. Surprise is what you get with pianist Steve Kuhn's Trio on Live at Birdland.

Kuhn ingeniously de-constructs standards, ...

Steve Kuhn Trio: Live at Birdland

Read "Live at Birdland" reviewed by J Hunter


You have to crank the volume hard to hear Bill Evans' whisper-soft intro to Miles' “So What" on Kind of Blue (Columbia, 1959). When you hear it, though, you know something special this way comes. Steve Kuhn comes from the same school of subtlety as Evans, and Kuhn's one-finger opening to his trio's Blue Note debut, ...
