Hilary Kole: Haunted Heart
by Andrew Velez
This listener can't recall in years so smashing a solo CD debut as this winner. Hilary Kole's lengthy runs in cabaret and club appearances with song revues “Our Sinatra" and “Singing Astaire," singing some of the best of the American Songbook, have served her well. The mix here is flawless, ranging from such evergreens as Rodgers-Hart's ...
Dave Brubeck: Time Out (50th Anniversary Legacy Edition)
by Graham L. Flanagan
The year 1959 could easily go down as the one of most important years in the history of recorded jazz. In addition to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue (Columbia), it saw the release of the Dave Brubeck Quartet's groundbreaking LP Time Out. Columbia Records got the risky inclination to release the album's third track, the Paul ...

by Ken Dryden
Oscar Peterson was a jazz giant whose career spanned from the late '40s until not long before his death in late 2007.

Fred Anderson Quartet: Live at the Velvet Lounge Volume III
by Jeff Stockton
Fred Anderson's sound on tenor can be heard in his stance. With his horn hung on a harness that looks like something a moving man would wear as he prepares to hoist a TV, Anderson bends his knees and hunches over as if muscle more than breath is needed to lift the notes into the air. ...
FAB Trio: Live in Amsterdam
by Terrell Kent Holmes
If three previous live albums weren't proof enough, Live in Amsterdam underscores how the FAB Trio thrives on the high-wire act of playing in front of an audience. Bassist Joe Fonda, drummer Barry Altschul and violinist Billy Bang treat the crowd at the Bimhuis Jazz Club to some excellent avant-garde virtuosity that, although lengthy and involved, ...
The Thing: Bag It!
by A. Henkin
One of the most appealing facets of The Thing-- saxophonist Mats Gustafsson, bassist Ingebrigt Haker Flaten and drummer Paal Nilssen-Love--is the visceral experience of seeing them play live. Huddled closely on stage, wearing matching Ruby's BBQ of Austin t-shirts, dripping with sweat and manhandling their instruments, the trio is one of the modern wonders of avant-garde ...
Phil Marino Songs (and Sinatra) Tell the Story of This Life
STORY of a guys life, told in wine vintage terms. As Ervin Drake tells it, that was the note to himself that led to his writing a song, back in 1961, that earned a Grammy for Frank Sinatra. At the time, Mr. Drake was in the office of a music publisher who told him that Bob ...

The Fully Celebrated: Drunk on the Blood of the Holy Ones
by John Sharpe
For Drunk on the Blood of the Holy Ones, Boston's The Fully Celebrated have dropped the orchestral tag from their name, but retain their wide ranging eclecticism, all transmuted through a jazz prism. Though altoist Jim Hobbs composed all eight tracks, it is the tight syncopation of bassist Timo Shanko and drummer Django Carranza that breathes ...
