Ron Stabinsky: Free for One

Read "Free for One" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


Pianist Ron Stabinsky has been a stylistic chameleon with Mostly Other People Do The Killing. He provided a note-perfect recreation of legendary pianist Bill Evans on Blue (Hot Cup, 2014), and eclectic solos on Mauch Chunk (Hot Cup, 2015)--performances peppered with clever musical quotations. For his debut recording he goes solo with a completely improvised set. ...

Moppa Elliott: Still, Up In The Air

Read "Still, Up In The Air" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


In his usual role as bassist and leader of the jazz group Mostly Other People Do the Killing, Moppa Elliott focuses on composing and bandleading.

Read "Mauch Chunk" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


Mostly Other People Do the Killing, the bad boys of jazz, don't quite turn in a straight ahead hard bop album with Mauch Chunk, but it's as close as they are likely to get.
