Uri Caine Ensemble: The Sidewalks of New York: Tin Pan Alley
by C. Michael Bailey
Archival Impressionism. Pianist Uri Caine is quickly joining Ry Cooder, Don Byron, and to a lesser extent, Wynton Marsalis as an archivist of American popular music. Ry Cooder's 1978 recording Jazz (Warner Brothers 3197) deftly captured jazz for the '10s and '20s. Marsalis solemnly documents the '20s through the '50s (at one time ...
Foreign Exchange: Made in New York
by David Adler
When listeners hear the first tune on Made In New York, they might well think they popped in the wrong CD. “Recontre," a breezy Brazilian number, features flute and vocals. But there is no flute or vocal credit given on the CD sleeve. In the case of the vocals, the omission might stem from a well-justified ...
John Swana/Joe Magnarelli: Philly-New York Junction
by C. Andrew Hovan
Trumpeters John Swana and Joe Magnarelli are of a new generation of players who aren't as well known as a Roy Hargrove or Nicholas Payton but who nonetheless have much to say in terms of advancing the role of the trumpet in jazz.

Chip White: Harlem Sunset
by Glenn Astarita
Harlem Sunset is the impressive debut recording from powerhouse drummer Chip White originally released in 1994 on the Postcards label which is now brought to us by way of Arkadia Records. Here, White shines as a composer, offering a series of compositions that convey an at times, hard-edged tenderness featuring killer support from an estimable bunch ...
Jens Wendelboe Big Band / New York Big Band: Lone Attic / Letter from New York
by Jack Bowers
These discs could well be subtitled “Jens Wendelboe: The Early Years,” as both were recorded in the mid–’80s, the second as the (still relatively youthful) Norwegian–based trombonist/composer was completing work on a master’s degree in composition from the Manhattan School of Music. They may have been intended as LPs (the digital revolution was then in its ...
70's Jazz Pioneers: Live! at The Town Hall New York City
by Glenn Astarita
The “Young Lions” of the 1970’s? Now we refer to them as the “70’s Jazz Pioneers”. Perhaps in the year 2010 some will refer to Wynton Marsalis, Roy Hargrove, Antonio Hart and Joshua Redman, as the (mainstream) “80’s Jazz Pioneers”? Although, this writer would hardly cite Redman or Hargrove as true pioneers but this is good ...
Nat Adderley: A Little New York Midtown Music
by AAJ Staff
Coming at the end of the ‘Seventies, this was a bit of a reunion. Nat and Johnny Griffin had played together on White Gardenia, Johnny’s salute to Billie Holiday. The others had played in various editions of the Cannonball band. (Victor Feldman and Ron Carter in the early ‘Sixties, Roy McCurdy later.) While the tone is ...
Mark Elf: New York Cats
by C. Michael Bailey
Boplicity. New York Cats is guitarist Mark Elf's fourth release on his Jen Bay record label. His 1997 release, Trickynometry, was number one on Gavin's Jazz Chart for 4 weeks, a feat one would expect this new disc to repeat or better. In a break from past practice, Elf does not include any major label musicians ...
Greg Osby: Banned in New York
by AAJ Staff
Greg Osby is a student. He’s analyzed the Charlie Parker live tapes, looking them over for what makes them tick. He records his own shows on minidisc, to hear what he’s doing, to try to improve it. These tracks, from a couple of 1997 dates at Sweet Basil, show him as he is, and everything about ...
