Briggan Krauss' H-Alpha: Red Sphere
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Guttural saxophone bleats demand attention amid the drum whorls and electronic washes. After the initial blast, the horn recedes as clipped drum bursts and metallic effects create a halting groove that elicits more wails. The dynamic shifts and manufactured form from chaos of “Sun" typify Red Sphere by H-Alpha--saxophonist Briggan Krauss' improvising trio with laptop artist ...
Jason Domnarski Trio: Notes From Underground
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Jason Domnarski is obviously a talented pianist, so his new CD Notes From Underground is something of a letdown. He leads his trio through a set of cleverly titled tunes that touch various genres, but middling execution dampens the entire venture. The problem is that most of the tunes are merely average. For ...
Tony Bennett at the Apollo with Count Basie Orchestra
Tony Bennett performed standards and holiday songs on Tuesday night with the Count Basie Orchestra at the Apollo Theater. Poise in the wind of uncertainty is a very old idea in American pop.

To follow that up, Rothenberg has spent time working with another famed animal singer. Whale Music, ...
Dena DeRose: Live at Jazz Standard Volume Two
by Donald Elfman
This is the kind of series that could last forever--pianist Dena DeRose seems to have an endless supply of well- and little-known tunes from the collected songbooks and both the music and performances are timeless. The second set from the same evening that produced Volume One (MAXJAZZ, 2007), this has the same in-the-moment sense of place ...
Neil Young Has a Heart of Gold and a Car of Biodiesel
He Keeps On Rockin at the Garden: Neil Young gave the first of two tour-ending concerts at Madison Square Garden on Monday night, on a bill that also included the bands Wilco and Everest.
