Saxophonist Ernie Krivda leads a swinging live performance from the Detroit jazz club The Dirty Dog on this well recorded album.

Bud Powell - Jazz Giant (Verve: 1950, 1988, 2001)
Of all of the great jazz musicians, it's hard to imagine one whose life was as star-crossed as the great pianist and composer Bud Powell. One of the leading architects of the bebop style of jazz, Powell battled misunderstanding, mental illness, and police brutality and still persevered to become a legendary figure in jazz. The tracks ...
Reed Trio - Last Train to the First Station (Kilogram Records, 2011)
The Reed Trio is a group consisting of Ken Vandermark, Mikolaj Trzaska and Waclaw Zimpel on various saxophones and reed instruments. For some reason I thought this music was recorded for a film soundtrack, and if so it makes quite a bit of sense. The music moves through a wide variety of textures and nuances in ...
The Grateful Dead - What a Long Strange Trip It's Been (Warner Brothers 1977, 1990)
During my college years, the dormitories rocked and rolled with the sounds of Pink Floyd, Bob Marley and especially The Grateful Dead. Jerry Garcia was still alive during this period and I have vivid memories of people I knew bailing out of classes if there was a Dead show within 500 miles of campus. While they ...

After a ...
Athenor - En Form for Bla (VHF Records, 2011)
A collective of musicians from the avant rock/free improvisation scene, Aethenor creates some unusual and continually fascinating soundscapes. Consisting of Stephen O'Malley, Daniel O'Sullivan, Kristoffer Rygg, and Steve Noble, the group strives to create a sound that is somewhere in the twilight nether-regions where progressive rock, ambient textures and In a Silent Waytype jazz improvisation all ...

Vibraphonist Warren Wolf has a light and dexterous sound that makes this album an appealing mainstream jazz experience.
