Jane Ira Bloom: Early Americans
by Ian Patterson
Three years on from the ballad standards of Sixteen Sunsets (Outline, 2013), Jane Ira Bloom--one of the few specialist soprano saxophonists--returns with a lustrous collection of originals.

Black Art Jazz Collective: Black Art Jazz Collective - Presented By The Side Door Jazz Club
by Maurizio Zerbo

Poi Wich Way Now si incanala verso un'esercizio di stile. Tutto perfettamente calibrato, la precisione ...

Mike Melito: New York Connections
by David A. Orthmann
It's somewhat misleading to summarize Mike Melito's New York Connections by dropping a few names of past masters for credibility's sake, applauding him for preserving the essence of hard bop designs from the 50s and 60s, and emphasizing just how effective he is at forging ties to these avenues of the music. Though all of these ...
