David Weiss & Point Of Departure: Snuck In
by Dan Bilawsky
Trumpeter David Weiss was way ahead of his time when he brought together a group of forward-thinking musician-composers to form the New Jazz Composers Octet in 1996. This group--and the writing that was born from within its ranks--received positive critical response from the get-go, and foreshadowed the rise in collective-type situations throughout the jazz community. While ...
David Weiss & Point of Departure: Snuck In
by Mark F. Turner
A keeper of the flame, but a resolute practitioner of forward thinking music, David Weiss has been active for more than twenty years in New York. His horn swings with élan, representing modern post-bop trumpeting whether playing in Charles Tolliver's Big Band, producing other recordings (Robert Glasper, Jeremy Pelt and Marcus Strickland), or at the helm ...
Whitney James: The Nature of Love
by Raul d'Gama Rose
It is more than likely that Whitney James was born to sing, proving once again the Latin adage (relating, albeit to poetry), that poeta nascitur non fit. And it was probably only a matter of time before she was discovered. Happily there was not that long a wait, for here, on The Nature of Love, is ...

Torben Waldorff: American Rock Beauty
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Danish composer/guitarist Torben Waldorff has crafted a plainly titled but memorable album in American Rock Beauty.

American Rock Beauty is a sophisticated blend of American and European streams ...
Torben Waldorff: American Rock Beauty
by J Hunter
It's interesting to watch musicians approach the comfort zone. Some see it as something sacrosanct, a precious relic to be protected and preserved like antique china; others treat it like the family handball, never hesitating to pick it up and hurl it against the wall with all possible force. Danish guitarist Torben Waldorff takes a third ...
Whitney James: The Nature Of Love
by Bruce Lindsay
The Nature Of Love is singer Whitney James' debut, although the maturity and sophistication of her performance makes this hard to believe. Across an intriguing set of songs James demonstrates an impressive vocal range and a command of phrasing and intonation that usually come only with years of experience. James' voice is expressive ...
Whitney James: The Nature of Love
by Jakob Baekgaard
Taking the step into professional jazz singing can be a test, but the challenge is gracefully overcome in this debut, The Nature of Love, by the young female singer Whitney James. In fact, it is hard to believe that this is James' first recording. The sculpted lines of her sensual, smoky voice could be mistaken for ...
Torben Waldorff: American Rock Beauty
by Mark F. Turner
Capitalizing on the continued formula of a cohesive unit and compositions, centered not only around progressive musicianship but also melodic identity, American Rock Beauty further illuminates the dynamism of guitarist Torben Waldorff. Expanding on 2008's well-received Afterburn (ArtistShare), Waldorff confines himself to a stereotypical jazz idiom; his compositional ventures explore American rock, hard-hitting ...
Torben Waldorff: American Rock Beauty
by Jakob Baekgaard
A record's title can be useful in giving a hint of the kind of music that can be found on the album. In the case of guitarist Torben Waldorff, American Rock Beauty reveals itself as a title that brings forth an entire musical poetic conversation. If the album is like a river flowing ...
