Sonny Fortune: Last Night at Sweet Rhythm
by Terrell Kent Holmes
A few months ago, in 2009, reedman Sonny Fortune brought his quartet into the late Greenwich Village club to cut his first live recording as a leader. The performance captured on Last Night at Sweet Rhythm shows, as Fortune moves into his seventies, that his playing is as innovative, daring and fiery as ever.
Chick Corea / John McLaughlin: Five Peace Band Live
by Chris Kompanek

by Martin Longley
The John Bunch TrioSmallsDecember 29, 2009Steeply down the steps, to the intimate confines of Smalls, one of New York City's most laid-back jazz clubs.

Matt Slocum: Portraits
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Drummer Matt Slocum makes a memorable debut with Portraits, an eloquent and sophisticated collection of mostly original compositions, interpreted smartly by the leader, pianist Gerald Clayton and bassist Massimo Biolcati.

100nka and Herb Robertson: Superdesert
by Robert Iannapollo
Herb Robertson has to be one of the most intrepid trumpeters around. He seems to be most willing to put himself in anomalous situations: the two-trumpet group he shares with Dave Ballou (MacroQuarktet), work as a sideman in various groups, membership in ad hoc assemblies like a trio with Evan Parker and Agustí Fernández or guesting ...
Ben Goldberg: Go Home

Upstate New York Jazz: Brian Patneaude, Lee Shaw, Steve Lambert
by J Hunter
A famous New Yorker cover shows Manhattan in detail up to the Hudson River, and then the rest of the nation is one small, faceless block. Jazz in the Empire State is seen the same way--everything in Manhattan, nothing in the hinterlands. But a few hours up the New York Thruway is Albany, birthplace of vibes ...
