Don Byron: Tuskegee Experiments
by John Kelman
For this column I step away from my avoidance of personalization because its roots and intent are, indeed, very, very personal. The germination of this column began as the result of two coinciding events. First, after months of relative inactivity due to a health matter that, while thankfully non-life threatening and treatable, could take ...
Alex García’s AfroMantra: This Side of Mestizaje
by Roger Farbey
From the word go, this tight band shows its mettle with upbeat lyricism as evidenced in the opener “Believe." A Chick Corea Return to Forever era influence is apparent with “11:11 Spirit," Fender Rhodes to the fore. The title track clearly displays what a drum-led group sounds like, Alex Garcia's intelligent and incisive percussion ...

by John Sharpe
For their fourth album, the collective trio Tarbaby maintain their simultaneously tradition orientated but forward looking aesthetic. At the heart remains the piano of Orrin Evans, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Nasheet Waits. But from the start they have been open to change. As a consequence only one of their releases features the three principals alone. ...
Frank Lowe: Out Loud
by Hrayr Attarian
The year separating Thanksgivings of 2013 and 2014 has abounded in historic reissues and discoveries. There are several from idiosyncratic bandleader Sun Ra in addition to ones from saxophonists John Coltrane, Clifford Jordan and Charles Lloyd.

Rufus Reid: Quiet Pride
by Maurizio Zerbo
Malgrado lo si possa considerare un virtuoso del proprio strumento, Rufus Reid non è mai stato sotto l'occhio dei riflettori. Ispirato all'opera della scultrice Elisabeth Catlett, questo suo CD ne mette in mostra tutto il suo poliforme talento. A conti fatti, quest'opera è la prova discografica più ambiziosa e convincente di Reid, dove l'intensità della musica ...
