Bruce Barth's Suite Live

Bruce Barth's Suite Live

Pianist Bruce Barth has long been one of my favorite musicians.  He's worked with a slew of great musicians, from James Moody to Branford Marsalis, Phil Woods to Andy Statman (his work on Statman's The Hidden Light is simply gorgeous.)

Luis Bonilla: I Talking Now!

Read "I Talking Now!" reviewed by J Hunter

When things got a little too animated for him, Bonilla's dad would bark out his signature admonishment, “You Chuttup! I talking now!" Both Doctors Phil and Spock would probably take ...

New CD Release from Luis Bonilla "I Talking Now"

New CD Release from Luis Bonilla "I Talking Now"

The trombonist Luis Bonilla hears jazz as playful, rough, cathartic, chaotic, tender, swinging, funky and inherently, demonstrably Latin. At any point in I Talking Now! his quintet usually satisfies at least three of those descriptions at once.
