The Uptown Quintet: Live in New York

Read "Live in New York" reviewed by Samuel Chell

by Samuel Chell

This 2006 release of an on-location recording features a non-working band of five musicians who live above 96th Street and have studied at the New School or the Manhattan School of Music. The sounds are less suggestive of the conservatory, however, than Rudy Van Gelder's Blue Note recording studio from the late '50s and early '60s, ...

Deidre Rodman / Steve Swallow: Twin Falls

Read "Twin Falls" reviewed by Celeste Sunderland

by Celeste Sunderland

The pairing of pianist Deidre Rodman and bassist Steve Swallow may seem unlikely at first, but upon further investigation, it appears to be just right. They hit it off while touring in Switzerland six years ago and their new duo album chimes with a rare trust. Named for the Idaho town where Rodman ...

Dom Minasi: The Vampire's Revenge

Read "The Vampire's Revenge" reviewed by Florence Wetzel

by Florence Wetzel

Dom Minasi's magnum opus, The Vampire's Revenge, is a rich feast of music featuring no less than 22 of contemporary jazz's strongest players. Inspired by Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, songs like “Who's Your Dentist? and “Just One More Bite show Minasi clearly enjoying the vampire myth--but make no mistake, this two-CD set is a serious project, ...

Don Braden: Workin'

Read "Workin'" reviewed by Ken Franckling

by Ken Franckling

Tenor saxophonist Don Braden works in a variety of contexts. None is more interesting than his Organic Trio with Cecil Brooks III on drums and Philadelphia native Kyle Koehler on organ, recorded live at Brooks' Jersey club Cecil's for Workin', his 13th disc as a leader. This is no soul-tinged “chicken shack session, though the playing ...

Mambo Mantis: Everybody Knows Something

Read "Everybody Knows Something" reviewed by Ernest Barteldes

by Ernest Barteldes

Do not let the word “mambo" in this band's name fool you. There is nothing of the famed Cuban genre on this album, recorded live at the Bowery Poetry Club and ABC No Rio. The group's sound is experimental as it gets--with surprising neurotic sounds and hard rock influences--as heard on the introduction to “According to ...
