Meral Guneyman: Playful Virtuosity
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Pianist Meral Guneyman appeared to be slightly nervous when she took the stage recently at the 92nd Street Y's concert “Piano Players: New York Mix." But after a glowing introduction from the show's artistic director Dick Hyman, she launched into a powerful solo version of “The Clothed Woman," one of several Ellington classics she played that ...
Mayim Rabim to Represent Brooklyn at the Best of the Boroughs Festival
“The stunning Gottlieb possesses a powerful voice, using it with authority, soaring over the beautifully voiced chorus of four." JazzTimes “Powerfully straddles jazz, cantorial and the avant-garde... Mayim Rabim succeeds both musically and conceptually, one of the years finest vocal releases." --All About Jazz Jerusalem-born Ayelet Rose Gottlieb's song cycle is composed to erotic poetry from ...

Giacomo Gates: Luminosity
by George Kanzler
In the DVD interview and introductions to tunes on both discs, Giacomo Gates mentions a lot of the usual suspects as influences: Sinatra, Crosby, Jon Hendricks and Betty Carter. But names like Babs Gonzales, Jackie Paris, Cab Calloway and Lord Buckley suggest that Gates is in touch with a deeper tradition, that he likes the hustlers, ...
Burton Greene: Bloom in the Commune
by Marc Medwin
In one of the interviews that flesh out this new reissue, pianist Burton Greene states that while he doesn't often listen to a record once it's done, his first date for ESP sounds quite fresh. Bloom in the Commune (originally released simply as Quartet but now retitled via the first track of the original B side) ...
Libby York: Here With You
by Suzanne Lorge
Libby York has the rich, rounded kind of voice that evokes another time--a time when it was Rosemary (not George) and there were only two kinds of martini (gin or vodka). York's new CD, Here With You, covers traditional territory with a surety that gives the material renewed relevance: York feels the swing or the bossa ...

Ben Aronov, Jay Leonhart: Alone Together
by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio
There's something to be said about the sureness with which Ben Aronov and Jay Leonhart play as a duo. A recording they did in the studio in the '80s was pushed back for years, finally released as Alone Together. The title could not be more fitting. The album stands as a work of syncretism; Aronov was ...
Ruby Braff/Pizzarellis: C'est Magnifique!
by George Kanzler
It's not surprising that Tony Bennett, as well as the late Frank Sinatra, was a fan of the cornetist Ruby Braff (1927-2003). Like those singers, Braff had a life-long affair with the canon of (mostly) American songs known as pop standards. And like them, Braff brought fine-tuned musicality, craft and consummate artistry to interpreting that canon. ...
Mem3: Pennsylvania Grey
by Graham L. Flanagan
If music is indeed the 'universal language,' then that notion certainly seems to explain the dynamic chemistry heard on the new album from MEM3--a trio made up of an American (pianist Michael Cabe), an Australian (bassist Mark Lau) and a Canadian (drummer Ernesto Cervini). All three musicians have other gigs going on, but that shouldn't imply ...
