Stanley Jordan: State of Nature

Read "State of Nature" reviewed by John Barron

Hot Club of Detroit: Night Town

Read "Night Town" reviewed by Ken Dryden


The Hot Club of Detroit is one of many bands that have been inspired by the work of Django Reinhardt with the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, though leader and guitarist Evan Perri's group omits the violin, instead utilizing accordion and saxophone.

Kenny Garrett: Sketches of MD: Live at The Iridium

Read "Sketches of MD: Live at The Iridium" reviewed by John Kelman


Kenny Garrett continues his relationship with tenor legend Pharoah Sanders from Beyond the Wall (Nonesuch, 2006), but ditches some of the gravitas for Sketches of MD: Live at the Iridium.

Kenny Garrett: Sketches of MD: Live At The Iridium

Read "Sketches of MD: Live At The Iridium" reviewed by Mark F. Turner


Alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett gives listeners a kaleidoscopic view of his music in this fun live recording. A post-bop saxophonist who performed with Miles Davis during the trumpeter's later fusion/funk years, Garrett has since gone on to make his own name as one of the fiercest players around. In spite of what labels/critics may have desired, ...

Stanley Jordan: State of Nature

Read "State of Nature" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Dopo dieci anni dal suo ultimo album, ritorna il funambolico chitarrista californiano Stanley Jordan che nel 1985 sembrò essere il capostipite di una nuova generazione di chitarristi dotati di una tecnica straordinaria e irrituale. Le cose nella realtà non sono andate in quella direzione e la prodigiosa arte del tapping è rimasta una deriva non particolarmente ...
