Medeski Martin & Wood: Medeski Martin & Wood: Radiolarians III
by Doug Collette
Bonded as if in a purposeful and passionate quest to unite the opposites of discipline and spontaneity, the Zen masters of modern jazz known as Medeski, Martin & Wood have now completed The Radiolarians Series, an eighteen-month endeavor in which the trio composed new original material, embarked on tour to road test it, and then immediately ...
The Wood Brothers: The Wood Brothers: Up Above My Head
by Doug Collette
Highlights of The Wood Brothers' live performances invariably include ingenious renditions of choice covers in addition to their own well-wrought originals. So it stands to reason they'd find it perfectly natural to put together this mini-album of outside material by the likes of Beck and Allen Toussaint, among others. Returning to the strictly two-piece ...
Lafayette Gilchrist: Soul Progressin'
by Jay Deshpande
On Soul Progressin', Lafayette Gilchrist mixes a funky sensibility with, above all else, a sense of play. The album showcases the young pianist's compositions in a no-holds-barred, gutsy display of honest sound.

Medeski Martin & Wood: Radiolarians II
by Doug Collette
Notwithstanding the noir ambience of the closing cut, a piano jazz trio reading of “Baby Let Me Follow You Down," Radiolarians II assaults more than it insinuates. As such, the basis of Medeski Martin and Wood's long-term concept--road-testing new original material prior to recording it in the studio--manifests its virtues more readily here than on its ...

Lee Shaw Trio: Live in Graz
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Live in Graz gives listeners a chance to catch up with one of the more improbable second acts in jazz: that of eighty-something pianist Lee Shaw. A poised Shaw usefully recounts the biographical details in the accompanying DVD (which is unfortunately somewhat shoddily produced): she acquired a broad musical education in tiny Ada, Oklahoma; later continued ...
