Bruce Barth: Live At The Village Vanguard
by Mark Corroto
Serious craftsmen in most occupations tend to shun the spotlight. This is also true of pianist Bruce Barth. Although he leads his own trio on this live recording, he maintains a workmanlike approach, eschewing fireworks for a solid performance. Maybe it is his role as long time accompanist for singers such as Carla Cook, ...
Jessica Williams: All Alone
by Jim Santella
Jessica Williams interprets our favorite standards like no other. She turns “As Time Goes By” into a history lesson, with mental images from the film Casablanca and outside quotes to fill in the cracks. Irving Berlin’s “All Alone” takes on a similar role, as the pianist’s crisp right hand dances lightly to a simple stride left, ...

by C. Michael Bailey

This Side Up (2002), an exceptional standard trio offering, blew over the piano landscape like a nuclear tsunami, flattening all lesser offerings at the time. Williams's encyclopedic understanding of the many schools of jazz piano and the styles of those ...

by Jack Bowers
Mulgrew Miller, one of the best-known and busiest pianists in Jazz, goes back to his roots on The Sequel, which reunites him with Wingspan, the quintet he formed more than fifteen years ago, for his first recording as a leader in seven years (during which time he appeared as a sideman on more than two hundred ...
Mulgrew Miller: The Sequel
by David A. Orthmann
Mulgrew Miller's first session under his own name in seven years is a welcome reminder of the breadth of his talent. Miller's skills as a composer, bandleader, producer, and pianist converge to make The Sequel a unique and accessible recording. Although different in mood and texture, each of his eight compositions contains a melodic core that ...
Mulgrew Miller and Wingspan: The Sequel
by C. Michael Bailey
Perhaps the most underrated pianist playing? Mulgrew Miller has always been a hidden treasure. He has recorded as a sideman much more than as a leader and in both cases done so at the top of his form. Considered part of the “lost generation" of jazz musicians who came of age between Miles Davis? second great ...
