Reuben Radding: More Than Just a Free Jazzer
by Marc Medwin
A low trilling crescendo, replete with harmonics, a sharp rise and sudden plummet as one of those upper partials is tossed off a cliff and fades into the distance. Yet, after a brief pause and in the very next gesture, it returns to create a triumphant major third. Such pithy compactness is typical of bassist/composer Reuben ...
Ron Blake: Shayari
by George Kanzler
There's an attention to sonic detail and aural space on tenor saxophonist Ron Blake's Shayari that would be more expected from the ECM label than from Detroit's Mack Avenue Records. But Mack Avenue, through Blake and his producer/pianist Michael Cain, has given us a CD strong on tone and mood, intimate and introverted without being lightweight ...

Eddie South: 1933: The Cheloni Broadcast Transcriptions
by George Kanzler
Eddie South was one of the earliest jazz violinists--he recorded in 1923 (Joe Venuti, often thought of as the earliest, didn't record until 1924) and one of the first African/American jazz musicians to play extensively in Europe. South was also a highly-trained violinist, having studied at the Chicago College of Music and the Paris Conservatory; if ...
Catherine Russell: Sentimental Streak
by Karen Hogg
Sentimental Streak, the sophomore effort from singer Catherine Russell, is a paean to both her musical and familial heritage.
