John Hicks/Buster Williams/Louis Hayes: On The Wings Of An Eagle
by Mark Corroto
The passing of pianist John Hicks in 2006 marks the loss of one of the quintessential New York pianists. And this, perhaps his last recording, is a stunning example of a fully developed bebop piano trio in flight.

Francesco Guaiana / Luca Lo Bianco / Jimmy Weinstein: Hitch_Hikers
by Mark Corroto
Jazz lives! Brothers and sisters, ever since a fan scrawled that “Bird lives quote around New York to keep the memory of Charlie Parker from fading, the rallying cry has never been in doubt.

Brad Dutz: When Manatees Attack
by Mark Corroto
Growing up with Warner Brothers cartoons created a subliminal soundtrack for life. Certainly the rising notes you heard in your head were for someone walking up a staircase, then there was the creeping-around-the-corner music. Later we learned this music was all produced with great thought and skill by Carl Stalling and an orchestra of highly skilled ...

Conrad Herwig's nonet explores the Latin side of jazz, and his band mines the fun (party) side as well.

Following up on the trombonist's recordings Another Kind Of Blue: The Latin Side of Miles Davis (2005), The ...
