Meredith D'Ambrosio in 1981
One of my regrets about my college years in Boston during the 1970s is not going to see Meredith D'Ambrosio perform around town. Back then, I was either at the Harvard “Coop" buying jazz LPs, at Paul's Mall and the Jazz Workshop at night during the week and at discos on the weekends. Soon after I ...

Dan Tepfer Trio: Eleven Cages; Judy Niemack with Dan Tepfer: Listening to You
by Angelo Leonardi
Dan Tepfer s'è messo in luce da un decennio con eccellenti lavori da leader (dai trii jazz all'esecuzione delle Goldberg Variations) e con prestigiose collaborazioni: ricordiamo il duo con Lee Konitz, il sestetto con Billy Hart, il trio con quest'ultimo e Gary Peacock.

Interview: Meredith d'Ambrosio
Yesterday I was listening to Meredith d'Ambrosio accompany herself on piano while singing Love Is a Simple Thing. The song appears on her sterling album Another Time (1981), which is one of my favorites of hers. Meredith and I have emailed for years, since she loves JazzWax and I love her voice and piano. As I ...
Piani di Battaglia
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un elemento che salta all'occhio, in Stefano Battaglia, è la discrezione, come artista e come uomo. Uno dei tanti modi in cui lo rivela è il grande rispetto che ha per la musica altrui. Una differenza, magari per molti impercettibile, che separa questi due album lo conferma una volta di più: nel primo, che ha per ...
Cat Conner: Cat House
by Jack Bowers
On Cat House, the follow-up to her superb debut album, Cat Tales, California-based vocalist Cat Conner shows again that she has the astuteness and chops to leave many other contemporary jazz vocalists floundering in her wake and gasping for air. This time around, Conner has chosen a baker's dozen of what she calls her “lucky tunes," ...
Meredith D'Ambrosio on Jackie Cain
When Jackie Cain died last week, I immediately thought of jazz singer-pianist Meredith d'Ambrosio. Meredith also has an intimate, conversational vocal style and, like Jackie, has an ear for great little-known songs that match her personality perfectly. Meredith and I chat often, so I asked her for a few recollections on Jackie (and Roy). Here's what ...
Glennis Houston: I'll Reminisce You
by Edward Blanco
Calgary vocalist Glennis Houston follows up her debut album Lies of Handsome Men (2004, Self-Produced) with a warm session of light contemporary vocal jazz on I'll Reminisce You. Unlike the first disc--comprised entirely of standards--Houston designs a repertoire of primarily originals with the incorporation of a handful of cover songs touching on bebop, blues and ballads. ...
Dena DeRose and Elizabeth Shepherd: Singin' Piano Players
by C. Michael Bailey
Pianists/vocalists Dena DeRose and Elizabeth Shepherd illustrate different sides of the same coin with Travelin' Light--Live in Antwerp, Belgium and Rewind. The former is a sturdy statement of standards presented solo live in the cozy and organic confines of a European venue. The latter is a studio marvel by an inventive risk-taker walking on a jazz ...
