Marty Ehrlich / Myra Melford: Spark!

Read "Spark!" reviewed by Matthew Miller

by Matthew Miller
October 14, 2007

Multi-reedist Marty Ehrlich and pianist Myra Melford share more than a virtuosic touch and rugged lyricism. Their work embodies a single-minded approach to duo playing that lends an air of cohesion to the most abstract improvisation, allowing their ideas to blend to the point where Ehrlich's tone becomes a growling, vibrato-laden extension of Melford's sensitive voicings ...

Jon-Erik Kellso: Blue Roof Blues: A Love Letter to New Orleans

Read "Blue Roof Blues: A Love Letter to New Orleans" reviewed by Ken Dryden

by Ken Dryden
October 12, 2007

Jon-Erik Kellso is much like Ruby Braff in some ways: playing cornet rather than trumpet, with a very personal sound and an affinity for earlier musical styles like classic jazz and swing. He also recorded as a sideman with Braff and appeared on numerous record dates with traditional, swing or mainstream bands led by Ralph Sutton, ...
