Mike Stern: Echoes and Other Songs
by Doug Collette
With a running time of seventy-seven minutes plus, guitarist Mike Stern's Echoes and Other Songs is effectively a double album. And like most such expansive works--including classics like Bob Dylan's Blonde On Blonde (Columbia, 1966) and The Beatles (aka 'The White Album')(Apple, 1968)--it would benefit from consolidation of its best elements (as would a replacement of ...
JD Souther: You're Only Lonely
by Doug Collette
JD Souther might well be considered the unsung hero of country rock as we know it. Forget for the moment the ill-conceived and woefully mis-executed David Geffen vanity project that was Souther, Hillman and Furay: his early alliance in Longbranch Pennywhistle, with the late Glenn Frey, co-founder of the Eagles, led to Souther's collaborations with that ...
Säje: I Can't Help It
by Scott Lichtman
It is rare to encounter, an all-female, professional jazz vocal ensemble. The quartet säje (pronounced like “beige") not only has established itself in this genre with a Grammy nomination, but they raise the bar for all vocal groups. The singers--Sara Gazarek, Amanda Taylor, Erin Bentlage and Johnaye Kendrick--are practically telepathic in synchronizing their phrasing. Any big ...

Cyrille Aimée: Music Flows From Within
by Scott Lichtman

She is equally adept at jazz standards and pop-jazz. She can swing and scat on cue, then shift to high tech sound loops. Songs in English, French and Spanish are delivered with ...
Cyrille Aimée: À Fleur de Peau
by Katchie Cartwright
Like other parts of Cyrille Aimée's musical journey (her time spent learning “gypsy jazz" with Manouche Romani people in Samois-sur-Seine, for example), À Fleur de Peau (Hypersensitive) has an engaging tale attached. In 2018, on a visit to the Costa Rican jungle at a pivotal moment in her personal life, Aimée was inspired to write “Inside ...
Christian McBride, Edgar Meyer: But Who's Gonna Play The Melody?
by Mike Jurkovic
It is not known exactly how many duets of this nature have fallen into the lackluster bin of audio history. But rest assured that But Who's Gonna Play The Melody? is as far from that incalculable number as the moon is from the sun. Emblematic of Christian McBride's whole groove credo, everything falls into ...
