Read "Not What My Hands Have Done" reviewed by Dave Nathan


This album recorded in May of 1993 has finally emerged from the Mapleshade label's vaults to be released eight years later in 2001. Why it took so long to see the light of day is a puzzler. Brooklyn born pianist Gerard D'Angelo has been on the jazz scene since 1988 when he teamed with Dave Meade ...

Bob Kindred with Larry Willis: Gentle Giant of the Tenor Sax

Read "Gentle Giant of the Tenor Sax" reviewed by Dave Nathan


Bob Kindred traveled to the bucolic surroundings of Mapleshade's recording studio in rural Maryland to team with pianist Larry Willis for a session of more than 60 minutes' worth of “gentle" but not outdated jazz performances. In some respects Kindred is a throwback to Ben Webster and the tender side of Stan Getz. His playing recalls ...

The C-Nuts: Blitzkrieg Bop and Other Jazz Mutations

Read "Blitzkrieg Bop and Other Jazz Mutations" reviewed by Dave Nathan


Mapleshade Records created the offshoot Wildchild! Label to record fun stuff from the R&B, soul, rock and country musical genre. Fine. But that's not what's happening with this C-Nuts release - - a play on the name of the popular Squirrel Nut Zippers band? True, one can hear some R&B, especially when Jon Ozment or Derek ...

Monica Worth: Never Let Me Go

Read "Never Let Me Go" reviewed by Mathew Bahl
