Laszlo Gardony: Dig Deep
by Michael P. Gladstone
One favorite and under-appreciated pianist has been Hungarian-born Laszlo Gardony. His emigration to the United States in 1983 began a career in which his first albums (on both Antilles and Sunnyside) established a firmly swinging piano trio setting. Although the '90s were not a productive era, he has had four releases since 2001. Dig ...
Sheila Cooper: Tales of Love and Longing
by Michael P. Gladstone
This is a most impressive album from Sheila Cooper, accompanied by pianist Fritz Pauer. The identity issue here is further complicated by the fact that alto saxophonist Cooper/vocalist Cooper makes this recording a veritable trio album by virtue of her musicianship. Cooper, originally from Canada, is now based in Vienna, Austria, pairing with Pauer ...

Brazilian Trio: Forests
by Michael P. Gladstone
This exciting recording is a perfect example of the thorough absorption of the Bossa Nova being integrated with the mainstream jazz piano trio. All three members of Brazilian Trio are, in fact, Brazilians but have lived in New York City for decades,settling in the 1970s, '80s and '90s. Pianist Helio Alves is the youngest ...

Mark Weinstein: Straight No Chaser
by Michael P. Gladstone
In 1966, Mark Weinstein was a member of Eddie Palmieri's La Perfecta Orquesta...as a trombonist. In order to get a summer-long gig, Weinstein trained himself to become a flutist and it worked. Since then he has not looked back. On Straight No Chaser, Weinstein conjures up a change of direction from his previous three ...

Such a youthful tenor saxophonist might be expected to eagerly ...
