John Zorn / Mark Feldman / Sylvie Courvoisier: Malphas, Book of Angels Volume 3
by Kurt Gottschalk
The second book of Masada tunes--300 compositions John Zorn penned in 2004--is only revelatory for the most diehard of fans.

Following Book Two releases by Jamie Saft and the Masada String Trio, Malphas is a set ...
Denominators: Red Balloon
by Ernest Barteldes
Denominators is a new band comprised of three highly competent musicians who try to look outside the box in their approach to jazz, allowing classical, funky and tropical elements into their sound without being too eclectic.

Sam Bardfeld: Periodic Trespasses (The Saul Cycle)
by A. Henkin
With his second release as a leader (and first for Fresh Sound), violinist Sam Bardfeld presents an album full of modern Jewish intellectual reflection, as practiced by such diverse artists as Saul Bellow and Woody Allen, but couched in terms owing more of a debt to Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage. But given those ...

Mark Murphy: Once To Every Heart
by Andrew Rowan
Mark Murphy just gets better and better, to steal a phrase, like an elegant wine. And he is fearless. In his distinguished career, he's covered it all: blues, Latin, contemporary pop, songbooks (most notably Cole Porter, Joe Williams, Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields). And he still remains one of the foremost interpreters of the Great American ...
Peter Epstein / Brad Shepik / Matt Kilmer: Lingua Franca
by Abe Pollack
Technology and musical development have always seemed to work in tandem. Reel to reel recording made delay effects and multitracking techniques possible. Laptop processing has allowed trumpets to sound like cellos and cellos to sound like Jimi Hendrix. But the most intriguing technological advance for music in recent years has been the introduction of the iPod. ...
Sandy Sasso: All My Men
by Suzanne Lorge
Sandy Sasso's voice is as rich as the brown eyes smiling on the cover of All My Men. The title and photo suggest a mere flirtation, but the artist delivers serious music with her smiles. In her liner notes she dedicates the album and her original composition, the title cut, to the musicians with whom she ...
