Tim Hagans: The Moon is Waiting

Read "The Moon is Waiting" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

The other is his dalliances with the notes he plays; it is not that he always plays ...

Tim Hagans: The Moon Is Waiting

Read "The Moon Is Waiting" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Those who mine exploratory veins of music often eschew structure, confusing lack of form with freedom, but trumpeter Tim Hagans knows the difference. The new quartet that he's convened for The Moon Is Waiting is a malleable unit that thrives on bringing unpredictable ideas into structured environments. The music it makes isn't fusion, free jazz, or ...

Phil Woods and Bill Mays: Woods & Mays

Read "Woods & Mays" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Putting two musicians of this caliber in a room and recording the results is a surefire recipe for success. Pianist Bill Mays and saxophone icon Phil Woods have little to prove at this point in their respective careers and their music isn't about defying expectations.

Fred Hersch: Alone at the Vanguard

Read "Alone at the Vanguard" reviewed by Charles Walker


If there's anything left to be said about pianist/composer Fred Hersch's resurgence after his 2008 battle with AIDS-related dementia and the subsequent two-month long coma that entailed the complete loss of motor skills in both of his hands, it's this: there is not a single measure of this seventy minutes of solo piano that requires the ...
