Arturo O'Farrill & The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra: The Offense Of The Drum

Read "The Offense Of The Drum" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


The Offense Of The Drum may be the least cohesive record in Arturo O'Farrill's discography, but that's largely by design. Here, O'Farrill firmly adheres to his stated “artistic vision"--"to bend what the world knows as Afro Latin jazz over the acoustic horizon"--better than anywhere else in his discography. Guests galore and a belief in Afro Latin ...

David Weiss: When Words Fail

Read "When Words Fail" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


"Where words fail, music speaks." Jana Herzen, head of Motema Music, shared this Hans Christian Anderson quote with David Weiss after the trumpeter had already titled his new record; the sentiment of that statement just happens to perfectly connect with this album. In 2013, loss seemed to hover around Weiss, his friends, and ...

Jaimeo Brown: Transcendence

Read "Transcendence" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

Oran Etkin: Gathering Light

Read "Gathering Light" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Multi-reedist Oran Etkin's first album--Kelenia (Motema Music, 2009)--fused Malian sounds and Jewish music with jazz. Its follow-up--Wake Up, Clarinet! (1-2-3-4 Go, 2010)--was geared toward kids. Now, for round three, Etkin has cast his net over a huge portion of the globe, pulling together, arranging, and morphing musical ideals he's encountered while touring through Asia, Israel, and ...

Marc Cary: For the Love of Abbey

Read "For the Love of Abbey" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Marc Cary è uno dei massimi pianisti della sua generazione ma i progetti da leader che ha realizzato, a partire da Cary On -suo debutto del 1995- fino alle produzioni col Focus Trio, non hanno avuto i riconoscimenti che meritavano. Le cose sembrano andare diversamente per questo suo debutto in solo, che sta ottenendo ...

Rufus Reid: Quiet Pride

Read "Quiet Pride" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


The beauty of art is often in the taking rather than the making. The art may come to life in the mind of the artist but it often flourishes when the ink dries, the chisel is withdrawn, the dust has settled, or the final brushstrokes have been applied. At that point, the preparation ends and the ...
