Ryan Kisor Quintet: This is Ryan

Read "This is Ryan" reviewed by Judith Insell

by Judith Insell
March 9, 2006

This is Ryan continues to confirm that trumpeter Ryan Kisor is more than a “young lion, a label he received after winning the Thelonious Monk Competition back in 1990. At the still young age of 32, he is continuing in the tradition of the modal-minded trumpet players who preceded him, sounding like he comes from the ...

Jay Clayton: All Out

Read "All Out" reviewed by Marcia Hillman

by Marcia Hillman
March 8, 2006

This reissue of All Out, Jay Clayton's 1980 debut, is a well-done exercise in the voice as instrument. Clayton occupies her own niche, exploring a freestyle, improvisational approach to vocals. She collaborates with Jane Ira Bloom (soprano and alto sax), Larry Karush (piano), Harvie S (bass), Frank Clayton (drums) and Bill Buchen (kalimba), as well as ...

Sweet Sue Terry: Gilly's Caper

Read "Gilly's Caper" reviewed by Russ Musto

by Russ Musto
March 8, 2006

Saxophonist Sweet Sue Terry's second self-released album is a soundtrack of sorts for the accompanying short story from which the date takes its title.

Ice's ...

by David Rickert
March 6, 2006

Many of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers left the group to build successful careers of their own. However, in between Lee Morgan and Wayne Shorter and the Marsalises was this curious 1968 band, made up largely of talented unknowns.
