Neil Cowley Trio: Radio Silence
by Karl Ackermann
In recent years, a number of piano trios have done an admirable job filling the void left by the untimely passing of Esbjörn Svensson and, by consequence, his pioneering trio, e.s.t. The Tingvall Trio, more than most, along with Sebastian Liedke, Marcin Wasilewski and Colin Vallon, have all overseen efforts that encapsulate a similar style and ...
Neil Cowley Trio - Radio Silence (2011)
As the poignant, expressive piano voice behind both of Adele's albums, Neil Cowley has a sound that seems immediately familiar. Yet he doesn't simply rely on that famous association to push along Radio Silence. As often as he performs with a similarly recognizable delightful grace (as on the title track and the “Portal"), Cowley also displays ...

Cuong Vu: Cooking in Seattle
by Ian Patterson
Returning to home town Seattle after 15 years on the east coast has been a good move for trumpeter Cuong Vu judging by the outstanding music on these three CDs and the movement he has largely inspired in Seattle's young creative musicians. Bassist Luke Bergman is a constant on these recordings, adding new depth to Vu's ...

by Bruce Lindsay
The Gentle War, Trichotomy's fourth album, further establishes the Australian three-piece at the forefront of the newer generation of intelligent, thoughtful and inventive piano trios.

by Bruce Lindsay
[em] live is the fourth album from [em], the German trio also known as Wollny/Kruse/Schaefer.

It's a combination of new compositions and four tunes taken from [em]'s ...
Am I "Jazz People?"
by Bruce Lindsay
I rarely write anything too serious in a JazzLife UK article and, for the most part, this month's missive will be no different. However, the summer of 2010 started very sadly for UK jazz with the deaths of four popular, talented and influential musicians, and it seems appropriate to write a few words to remember each ...
