Ramsey Lewis Trio: Time Flies
by Michael P. Gladstone
The latest album from the Ramsey Lewis Trio, Time Flies, revisits several Lewis benchmark recordings in addition to presenting new compositions. While I cannot say that Ramsey Lewis has come full circle since his late-1950s albums, it is indeed a pleasure to hear him in primarily a mainstream jazz setting again. While much of ...
Joyce Cooling: This Girl's Got to Play
by Brian Soergel
Guitarist Joyce Cooling continues her particular smooth jazz style on her fourth CD, with plenty of tight grooves, clean electric and acoustic guitar runs, an occasional blues, rock or Brazilian aside, and several chances to display her jazz-style vocals. Cooling and partner/producer/keyboardist Jay Wagner breeze through nine diverse tracks that have plenty of hit potential, beginning ...
Euge Groove: Livin' Large
by Brian Soergel
Euge Groove came out of nowhere in 1999 with “Romeo + Juliet,” a heavily downloaded song on MP3.com whose popularity led to his signing to Warner Bros. Groove had a long career as a sideman: he played on Expose’s hit single “Seasons Change” in the ‘80s and jammed with Richard Marx and Tower of Power. Now ...
Down to the Bone: Cellar Funk
by Brian Soergel
In 1996, when Down to the Bone’s From Manhattan to Staten shook the doldrums off smooth jazz, this new sound was fresh, funky and just plain fun. It still is.

Maria de Barros: Nha Mundo (My World)
by Todd S. Jenkins
Maria de Barros hails from the Cape Verde Islands, the home of Cesaria Evora, where a rich confluence of African, European and Latin American cultures have blended together since time immemorial. She is definitely more of a “pop” singer than the barefoot diva Evora. Her singing conveys the same sort of relaxed charm that was Astrud ...
Ramsey Lewis & Nancy Wilson: Meant to Be
by AAJ Staff
"Meant to be" indeed! After years of playing and performing together, two of the jazz world’s most underappreciated contemporary legends have once again gotten it together enough to get together on record, and the results are well intended to say the least. The album is a bit misnomered, however, for though both stars get their names ...
