Eric Jacobson: Discover
by Nicholas F. Mondello
With Discover, Milwaukee-based trumpeter and jazz educator Eric Jacobson and team take us on an aural time trip back to the days when album covers were iconically black and white or monochrome and the contents within were drenched in blue-hued Hard Bop.

Carrillo, a bold and burnished improviser ...
Eric Jacobson: Discover
by Jack Bowers
If trumpeter Eric Jacobson's name doesn't ring a bell, it could be because he is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, not in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles or any other jazz mecca.
