Warren Wolf: Reincarnation
by Dan Bilawsky
Less a true rebirth than a return to the stylistic suggestions that surrounded Warren Wolf's ears in the 1990s, Reincarnation finds the forty-year-old vibraphonist folding his serious jazz persona within settings that lean heavily on soul and R&B.

Erroll Garner: Campus Concert
by Peter J. Hoetjes
Erroll Garner's sixth album on the Octave label would mark a pivotal moment in his career.
