Marlene VerPlanck: Once There Was A Moon
by Andrew Velez
Marlene VerPlanck is a singing canary of the old- fashioned sort--one who consistently picks great songs and then sings them in a brightly chirping soprano so that every single lyric is quite intelligible. The songs come out radiating an aura of a singer in love with what she's doing. Maybe that all ought to be commonplace ...

Andrew D’Angelo Fractured Free Jazz at Vanguard
Andrew D’Angelo’s new band is called Gay Disco Trio, which sounds funny and is at first misleading. It makes lean, rickety explosions for saxophone, bass and drums: not exactly dance music. Sometimes, in its gig on Wednesday night at the Tea Lounge in Park Slope, Brooklyn, it sounded a little like a scaled-down version of Prime ...

by John Sharpe

But he has persevered and his rediscovery by ...
David Sanborn: Here & Gone
by Andrew Velez
Alto saxophonist/flutist David Sanborn has been associated with everything from electronica, fusion and disco-tinged recordings to Svengali (Atlantic, 1973), a now-classic set he recorded with Gil Evans.

Other musical partners have been as diverse as Billy Butterfield ...
