Ralph Bowen: Power Play

Read "Power Play" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The inscription on saxophonist Ralph Bowen's business card probably should read “solid citizen," because his post-bop jazz conception has always been steadfast and dependable.

Christian Howes: Out of the Blue

Read "Out of the Blue" reviewed by Ian Patterson


The violin is widely considered as the most expressive of instruments, closely approximating the human voice. It depends, however, to a large degree, on whose hands the instrument is in. Christian Howes is that rare breed of musician who makes the violin talk; using the idiom of the blues on Out of the Blue, Howes gives ...
