Raya Brass Band: Raya

Read "Raya" reviewed by Mark Sullivan

by Mark Sullivan

From the sound you would probably place Brooklyn's Raya Brass Band in some other Brooklyn--one located somewhere in the Balkans. Their bright, joyful music is never far from the traditional wedding music of the Balkans and Greece. It's dance music, grooves like crazy, and is just plain fun. You may not spontaneously jump up and dance, ...

by Glenn Astarita

New York City-based saxophonist, composer Sean Sonderegger's Magically Inclined unit consists of artists he performed with for late composer, conductor Butch Morris' ensembles amid other regional jazz and improvisation units. Perhaps his involvement with Morris and studies with multi-reedman, composer Anthony Braxton among other notables, spawned the genesis for these rather complex works, often modeled with ...

ON

Read "ON" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Good guitarists are good ...

Aruan Ortiz Trio: Hidden Voices

Read "Hidden Voices" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

The jazz piano trio comes in a wide spectrum of approaches, from the traditional--Red Garland, Tommy Flanagan--to the way out there avant-garde, like Cecil Taylor. When the subject of “Cuban pianists" comes up, some of the first names that come to mind are probably those who work in a traditional vein: Chucho Valdes, perhaps, or maybe ...

Beat Kaestli: Beat Kaestli: Live in Europe

Read "Beat Kaestli: Live in Europe" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

In my humble estimation, there are two ballad singers (living) without peer: Rebecca Parris and Beat Kaestli. The latter has had a string of recent recordings that are as innovative as they are entertaining, including: Happy, Sad And Satisfied (B&B Productions, 2005), Invitation (Chesky Records, 2010), and Collage (B&B Productions, 2014). Kaestli sneaks ...

by Mike Perciaccante

O.A.R. The Paramount Huntington, NY December 27, 2015 An O.A.R. concert is an event. In the '60s, it would have been referred to as a “happening." The jamband from Rockville, MD has a following that rivals that of Gov't Mule and could, as time marches forward, become similar to the legion ...
