Misha Tsiganov: The Artistry Of The Standard
by Dan Bilawsky
Standards represent so many things. They can be a fallback for those short on ideas or a springboard for those willing to invest a bit of themselves into the music. They're a representative historical sampling of what jazz has been and done, reminding all of those on the bandstand of who and what came before, but ...
Trio Shalva: Breeza
by Dan Bilawsky
Trio Shalva's debut recording--Riding Alone (Self Produced, 2011)--captured a band at the dawn of its being.

Unfortunately these do not appear to be intentional humorous attempts merely risibly poor performances. This is a shame as Smith is both an accomplished musician and a jazz connoisseur ...
Steven Lugerner: Jericho and San Francisco
by Daniel Lehner
Eric Dolphy once mused, “When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone, in the air. You can never capture it again."

Rufus Reid: Quiet Pride
by Dan Bilawsky
