David Leonhardt: Bach to The Blues
by Ernest Barteldes
Veteran pianist David Leonhardt has often improvised around classical melodies in a live format, and now he finally commits an entire disc to tunes by Debussy, Bach, Beethoven and others.

Matthew Parrish: Circles
by C. Michael Bailey
The Flood of superb Post Bop continues...
