Half Note Records

by Russ Musto
March 10, 2007

A record label named after a jazz club, owned by a different jazz club, which is named after another record label. Confusing? Perhaps so, but that's the story behind Half Note Records, the record company founded by the venerable New York venue, The Blue Note. It's not like label president Steven Bensusan had the option of ...

Rob Reddy's Gift Horse: A Hundred Jumping Devils

Read "A Hundred Jumping Devils" reviewed by Elliott Simon

by Elliott Simon
March 10, 2007

That rarefied air where the compositional arts--writing, music and painting--come together is the holy grail for which this release from soprano/alto saxophonist Rob Reddy's Gift Horse is searching.

Daniel Levin: Some Trees

March 10, 2007

Cellist Daniel Levin expands the compositional and improvisational palettes of modern jazz on Some Trees with a provocatively assembled group of adventurous musicians and pieces. Without a drummer, this group is able to rethink the dynamics and dialectic of a “jazz" group and find new phrasing, spacing and modes of interaction. All of the players contribute ...

Edward Neumeister: Reflection

Read "Reflection" reviewed by Celeste Sunderland

by Celeste Sunderland
March 10, 2007

Combining Ed Neumeister's loose, flowing trombone lines with the organized counterpart of a tightly sewn rhythm section, a vibrant, balanced calm permeates Reflection. Mimicking the natural patterns of a day or a life, the album's rhythmic energy shifts smoothly within a single tune, or from track to track. The result never seems unwarranted; in fact, unexpected ...
