Alex Cline: Free-Spirited Drummer
by R.J. DeLuke
West coast drummer/percussionist Alex Cline is a sensitive player with a strong feel for interesting harmonies, shifting voices and changing moods when he writes music. It's a sensitivity not usually associated with drummers. But what's inside Cline, and comes through in his music, is from an artist and a musician, not merely a drummer. ...
Dag Arnesen: Norwegian Song 2
by John Kelman
Norwegian pianist Dag Arnesen continues to mine the rich tradition of Norwegian folk and classical music on Norwegian Song 2, the logical follow-up to the acclaimed Norwegian Song (Resonant Music, 2008). While the approach might seem formulaic, it's really no different than American musicians who mine the Great American Songbook. It's all about taking music that's ...
The Moss Project: Vision
by Roger Farbey
Unclassifiable is perhaps the most appropriate term to describe the debut album Vision, by guitarist and Berklee alumnus Moss Freed and his sextet, Moss Project. Formed in late 2007, this group--hailing from Manchester, England--has been gigging widely around the world; and it shows. For a first album, this is a more than competent start. The compositions ...

by John Kelman
For over a decade now--at least on record--guitarist/pianist Ralph Towner has worked exclusively in two contexts: solo guitar albums under his own name for ECM, including Time Line (2006), and collaboratively with his longstanding group Oregon, last heard on 1000 Kilometers (Cam Jazz, 2007).

Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
by Doug Collette
Even as the period photos of Miles Davis and co., taken in the studio and on the stage around the time of Kind of Blue (Columbia, 1959), place the music of this Legacy Edition squarely in its time, two excellent sets of liner notes alternately expound upon and contemplate the ongoing influence of this hallmark album, ...

George Kahn: Cover Up!
by Jay Deshpande
In the liner notes to Cover Up!, George Kahn discusses his goal of drawing upon the heritage of west coast jazz.
