Wayne Escoffery: Veneration: Live at Smoke
by Christopher Shoe
Saxophonist Wayne Escoffery's music is influenced by a long line of musicians, and on Veneration: Live at Smoke he takes a moment to pay homage to some of them.

Queen Mab Trio: Thin Air
by Kurt Gottschalk
Queen Mab “gallops night by night, through lovers' brains and then they dream of love, at least the Fairy Queen Mab of Romeo and Juliet does and if that's a bit sweet, even a bit specious an image to cast upon an all-woman trio, it does make an impression (and after all, they chose what to ...

When he gathered everything, Marcus Rojas slung his tuba over his shoulders ...
The Fred Hersch Trio: Night and the Music
by Riel Lazarus
