Eugene Maslov: The Fuse Is Lit

Read "The Fuse Is Lit" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers
April 2, 2003

This is the third album I’ve reviewed by Russian-born jazz artist Eugene Maslov, and I’ve yet to be disappointed. Maslov, a classically trained pianist who swings, has technique to spare and a talent for split- second decision-making that never lets him down.

The album’s title refers, we surmise, to the straight–ahead idiom developed by modern Jazz’s founding fathers and bequeathed to their contemporary successors who are carrying it into the new millennium. As is true of most compilations, this two–disc set from Mack Avenue Records is an up–and–down experience with a number of engaging selections and others that ...

Eugene Maslov: When I Need to Smile / The Face of Love

by Jack Bowers
May 1, 2002

Two first–rate albums by classically trained Russian emigré Eugene Maslov whose technical prowess is equaled only by his fondness for American Jazz. The first features Maslov’s trio (bassist Eddie Gomez, drummer Omar Hakim) all the way, the second a trio (or trios) with guests Shirley Horn and Toots Thielemans added on two selections apiece.

May 1, 2001

Former Crusaders drummer Stix Hooper assembles a starlight cast of characters for a stroll through some unlikely standards. This collaborative release is interesting for what is missing— war-horse standards. The standards that are here are tastefully “different" from the standard fare (pardon the pun). Former Crusader's drummer Stix Hooper assembled this wild bunch for two discs ...
