Dee Cassella: I'm Here Now
by Marcia Hillman

John Zorn/George Lewis/Bill Frisell: News For Lulu
by Martin Longley
This is another reissue of the 1987 album that found this avant super-trio in what was (and still is) unlikely territory, not only playing bebop, but also pouncing on a less than obvious repertoire.

There are several aspects of Sebastian Schunke's new record, Back in New York (Connector, 2008) that make it stand out from the slew of records that young pianists produce. First is that the music is complex, sophisticated, and superbly crafted--a sure sign that its composer has already reached a high degree of maturation. Second, ...
Jason Rigby: The Sage
by Terrell Kent Holmes
With The Sage, Jason Rigby has composed an album that’s thought-provoking without being pretentious, accessible without being insubstantial. Rigby is a fine saxophonist who builds coherent ideas gradually without over-emoting, the sign of someone in complete control of his craft. The fluid themes and textures of “Magenta” recall an Ornette Coleman-type of ...
