Eric Reed
by Greg Thomas
The Eric Reed Trio is one of the most compatible and snug groups in jazz today. From October 20-22, 2005, their appropriately billed “Singers Over Manhattan gig in the warm Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center put a spotlight on two young vocalists and one well-established singer. This writer witnessed the show on the 22nd. ...
Eric Dolphy: The Complete Uppsala Concert
by A. Henkin
One of my pet theories is that one of the kickstarts for creative indigenous jazz in Europe was the tours undertaken there by Eric Dolphy as a leader (late summer 1961, summer 1964) and with John Coltrane (winter 1961) and Charles Mingus (summer 1964). The passage through the region of such an iconoclastic figure as Dolphy, ...
Eric Revis: Tales of the Stuttering Mime
by Celeste Sunderland
Best known as Branford Marsalis' bassist, Eric Revis' first solo project mixes straight-ahead jazz with intense funk fusion and employs a gaggle of special guests. The vast array of sounds and ensembles showcases the bass as an incredibly multifaceted instrument that easily finds its place among a diverse smattering of situations. The album ...
Jason Kao Hwang/Francis Wong/Tatsu Aoki: Graphic Evidence
by Kurt Gottschalk
Violinist Jason Kao Hwang has sought to meld American jazz and blues with motifs from the Far East for years, most notably on his excellent 1990 release Unfolding Stone (Sound Aspects). Now, with a group all of Asian descent, Hwang has entered a more fully Asiatic idiom, leaving the particularly American vocabularies behind for something more ...
Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker: Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945
by Samuel Chell
After the recent bonanza discovery of the 1957 Monk-Coltrane Carnegie Hall concert, this previously unissued recording of a 1945 Gillespie-Parker concert may strike some listeners as anticlimactic if not somewhat disappointing. There's no denying its historical significance--the only extended “live" recording of Diz and Bird from this seminal period--but collectors who have the Parker Dial and ...
Charles Tolliver: Mosaic Select: Charles Tolliver
by Javier AQ Ortiz
As a musician, Charles Tolliver almost has it all. He has gained international respect from critics and peers, as well as a grateful and patient sliver of the market that purchases his scant recordings as a leader and attends his infrequent presentations. Thus Tolliver, because of his unprolific discography and absence from the market as a ...

Jabbo Ware and The Me We & Them Orchestra: Vignettes in the Spirit of Ellington
by Francis Lo Kee
This is a sonically gorgeous recording. James Jabbo Ware beautifully orchestrates, exploiting the colors of the various instruments to their fullest, and he frames the great soloists in different ways from solo spot to solo spot. Much of the music here has a narrative element. “Strange Land starts with a mallets on tom-toms ...
David Gibson: The Path to Delphi
by Terrell Kent Holmes
The Path to Delphi, trombonist David Gibson's latest work, is a walk along the path of spirituality in the tradition of John Coltrane. The Hellenic-themed opus kicks off with Dwayne Burno's bass statement on the title cut, a tightly arranged, reed-driven tune. Rick Germanson's deft and inventive piano solo sparkles, building the tension before Gibson steps ...
Chick Corea: Rendezvous in New York
by John Kelman
