David Weiss: The Mirror
by Michael P. Gladstone
This is the second album for trumpeter David Weiss on Fresh Sound New Talent, following his 2001 debut, Breathing Room. The songs are all originals, except for Kevin Hays' “Our Trip" and Wayne Shorter's “Mr. Jin." The album is structured into a sextet on most of the tracks and an octet on the final two selections. ...
Royce Campbell: Six By Six
by Michael P. Gladstone
During the first half of the 1990s, guitarist Royce Campbell produced a series of tribute albums to Wes Montgomery. These sessions appeared on Campbell's own Paddlewheel Records, which was a subsidiary of the Japanese King label. They were released in the United States on Evidence. At that time, Royce Campbell was approached regarding a new project ...
Triangle: 3 Sides of A Question
by Michael P. Gladstone
Does anyone out there remember the jazz group that became known as Rubisa Patrol? The quartet recorded two albums for ECM in 1976 and 1977; pianist Art Lande was the leader and trumpeter Mark Isham was among the original members. Lande's own debut came in 1973 with ECM's Red Lanta. After several addition albums under his ...

by Michael P. Gladstone

Adam Rafferty Trio: Three Souls
by Michael P. Gladstone
For his fourth album, guitarist Adam Rafferty submits his first all-original program. The New York musician studied classical guitar at SUNY Purchase and is a student of pianist Mike Longo. Rafferty has an impressive list of musical employers, such as the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band, Benny Golson and Jimmy Owens. Longo and former boss Bob Cranshaw ...
Clark Terry: Porgy & Bess
by Michael P. Gladstone
For the second time in a year, a major collaboration of Miles Davis-Gil Evans from the late 1950s has been repackaged with a new dressing. This venture is not another ho-hum guest shot from a jazz dignitary sitting in with an orchestra. Clark Terry lends not only his noted name but his distinctive talents to this ...
Jay Geils/Duke Robillard/Gerry Beaudoin: New Guitar Summit
by Michael P. Gladstone
This album has a rather presumptuous title, but then the completed effort has produced some pretty good results. Although the three guitarists have known each other for a long time, the only common bond is their New England heritage. Jay Geils founded the J. Geils Band, one of the most popular rock bands of the late ...
Judi Silvano: Let Yourself Go
by Michael P. Gladstone
Singer Judi Silvano (aka Mrs. Joe Lovano) has a real winner in this release. Having only heard her on several albums with Joe Lovano in which she was singing vocalese, or on her own Songs I Wrote or Wished I Did in '00, I was totally unprepared for my first listening of this new venture. The ...
Josh Workman: Jumpin
by Michael P. Gladstone
The debut recording of the aptly named guitarist Josh Workman is indeed a highlight of this year. There are endorsements on the cover by jazz plectrists Jim Hall, Gene Bertoncini, and Peter Bernstein, some of the best guitarists on the scene. Josh Workman is a Bay Area resident who returned to San Francisco in the mid-'90s ...
Negroni's Trio: Piano/Drums/Bass
by Michael P. Gladstone
Pianist Jose Negroni contributes most of the ten compositions on this new album save for Wayne Shorter's “Footprint" [sic] and Gershwin's “Summertime." The vibe of the pianist and the trio is that of the emerging style of Michel Camilo when he started recording in the mid-'80s. Both men exhibit the same intensive and percussive Latin-based piano ...
