Dena DeRose: Live at The Jazz Standard, Volume One

Read "Live at The Jazz Standard, Volume One" reviewed by Donald Elfman

by Donald Elfman

Dena DeRose continues to dazzle in the simplest ways--she's a gifted and accomplished pianist, vocalist, composer and arranger but there's not a speck of self-importance or pretension as she joyously makes her way through new and old tunes. Her voice has the timbre and range of an Anita O'Day but there's a fresh, clear-headed quality here ...

Champian Fulton: Champian

Read "Champian" reviewed by George Kanzler

by George Kanzler

Nobody does Duke-style big band music better than David Berger's Sultans of Swing, so just hearing this big band so attuned to swing with such Ellington-ian touches as muted lead and solo brass voices, and weaving saxophones and clarinets is a joy. That the arrangements all feature singer Champian Fulton is not always such a plus. ...

Lester Young: Live at Birdland

Read "Live at Birdland" reviewed by Graham L. Flanagan

by Graham L. Flanagan

Such is the case with Live at Birdland, which fits on one disc three different live radio broadcasts. The first of the three sets was recorded January 15, 1953 and broadcast on ...

Read "Marion Brown" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

By Michael Hittman It's probably known that since his last recorded gig, Gemini (play Sun Ra Live in Concert) on Birth Records, a 1993 duo with Gunter Hampel in West Germany), serious illnesses--diabetes that led to the loss of a leg followed by additional surgery for a brain tumor--has confined Marion Brown to ...

Kneebody: Low Electrical Worker

Read "Low Electrical Worker" reviewed by Ivana Ng

by Ivana Ng

Kneebody's second full-length album starts off with an aggressive dose of jazz and industrial rock on “Poton." Drummer Nate Wood's slow, deliberate rhythm is irresistible, bordering on obnoxious, and tenor saxophonist Ben Wendel's improvising skills are well-suited to the quintet's combination of pop sensibility, jazz meditation and rock ferocity. A wave of sounds--trumpet, effects, Fender Rhodes, ...

David Liebman / Richie Beirach / Ron McClure / Billy Hart: Redemption - Quest Live in Europe

Read "Redemption - Quest Live in Europe" reviewed by David Adler

by David Adler

In 2005 Quest did Led Zeppelin one better, reuniting all four original members to play gigs in the US and Europe. Active in the 1980s and into the early 1990s, this super-group was just one project that over the decades involved saxophonist Dave Liebman and pianist Richie Beirach. Interest in the band was renewed by a ...
