Sunny Voices (Various Artists): Sunnyside Cafe Series
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The production of a music compilation or sampler may, despite its producers' best intentions, go either way. A fair representation of artists may result in excellent tracks, together with perhaps some indifferent ones, and there is simply no pleasing everybody. However, it is possible to get closer to the mark of overall excellence if the compilation ...

Bill Anschell / Brent Jensen: We Couldn't Agree More
by C. Michael Bailey
By definition, the classical or jazz duo is the most intimate performance format. Intimacy requires two parties sharing with a base empathy. An example is Eddie Daniels and Roger Kellaway's A Duet of One (2008, IPO), where the two principles shared a great love for the mainstream and its sensitive presentation. Enter west coasters, pianist Bill ...
Nathan Davis: The Best of Nathan Davis '65-'76
by Clifford Allen

Ran Blake: Lurking in the Shadows
by Tod Smith
If you close your eyes while listening to Ran Blake's Driftwoods (Tompkins Square, 2009), you may find yourself transported into the grainy, low-key black and white world of a 1940s or '50s classic noir film. Try to leave the theater and something quietly, without much fanfare draws you back into the story. This is the music ...
Two by Tessa Souter: Listen Love and Nights Of Key Largo
by Victor L. Schermer
There are two types of fine jazz singers. On the one hand, there are those who take a tune, swing it and play with it in various ways, whether with scat, shifts in accent and harmony, or even with deconstructions that re-interpret the song entirely. The man who started all that was, of course, Louis Armstrong. ...
Paco Charlin: Jazz Frequency Group Vol. IV
by Mark F. Turner
Like two sides of a coin, Paco Charlin's recordings have alternated between modern and mainstream jazz, each imprint distinctly different. An exceptional bassist with the acumen and youthful presence of a Ron Carter or Dave Holland, Charlin has a deep reverence for the art-form--its past and its present--that is undeniable. Dipping back into ...
David Murray - Mal Waldron: Silence
by AAJ Italy Staff
Silence ha una doppia valenza estetica ed emotiva, poiché costituisce l’ultima incisione di Waldron, scomparso nel 2002. Al suo fianco David Murray, per un felice connubio giocato su un moto avvolgente ricco di strutture articolate, di guizzi e sorprese. Tensione e distensione, magma e distesa melodia in un affascinante gioco di scatole cinesi. È questa la ...
