Dee Alexander: Songs My Mother Loves
by Dan Bilawsky
The maternal influence on a musician should never be underestimated. There's a degree of love, guidance, nurturing and support that only a mother can provide, and plenty of jazz artists have taken the time to express their appreciation for this fact: violinist Regina Carter did so with the touching I'll Be Seeing You: A Sentimental Journey ...

Orrin Evans: Hot Irons In The Fire
by R.J. DeLuke
A pianist with great chops, great touch and an attack that fancies many influences from fierce swing to gospel, Orrin Evans is one of the outstanding creative musicians on the New York City scene. His work, no matter what the context--and he loves different contexts--is downright riveting at times. But for the 38-year-old who ...

Katja Cruz, Oliver Lake: Hexaphone
by Alberto Bazzurro
Registrato dal vivo a Graz nel dicembre 2012, Hexaphone (sottotitolo The Cosmology of Improvised Music) ha svariati pregi, fra cui quello di offrire i sette ampi brani che lo compongono sia in versione audio che video. Certo, ciò potrà indurre più d'uno a tuffarsi a pesce sul DVD, anche in considerazione del fatto che la componente ...

by Karl Ackermann
When trumpeter/ trombonist Frank Lacy appeared with the Mingus Big Band this past summer at the Caramoor Jazz Festival, he stole the show in the company of fourteen top-shelf musicians. The live performance venue in which Lacy thrives isn't diminished in the smaller group setting as proven out in the 1032K trio debut That Which Is ...
