Larry Goldings & Bob Ward: Voodoo Dogs
by David Adler
One of the most original and satisfying groove experiments yet. Organ whiz Larry Goldings and producer/engineer/guitarist Bob Ward team up to create music that melds James Brown, Tower of Power, contemporary dance music, and of course, jazz. The beats are heavy, the bass is fat, the tunes are strong and diverse. Ward's guitar playing is often ...
Rick Margitza: Heart of Hearts
by Glenn Astarita
Amid all the hoopla emanating from the current ensemble of young jazz lions, saxophonist Rick Margitza was himself cited as a young stylist on the move during his late 1980’s emergence on the jazz scene. And now with Margitza’s seventh recording, the saxophonist upholds or maintains his prominent stature in jazz on Heart of Hearts. Margitza ...
Andrew Hill: Dusk
by Mark Corroto
Alfred Lion, founder of Blue Note records, reaction to encountering pianist Andrew Hill's music said it was exactly like the experience he had the first time he heard Thelonious Monk and Herbie Nichols. Lion and Blue Note devoted most of the 1960s to recording sessions for Hill. His sixties sessions were unique post-Monk visions somewhere between ...
Andrew Hill: Dusk
by C. Andrew Hovan
With the recent spate of deaths hitting the jazz community as hard as they have, you have to be even more grateful that guys like Andrew Hill are still around.

Voodoo Dogs is the brainchild of keyboardist Larry Goldings, and established session guitarist, multi-instrumentalist Bob Ward as vibraphonist Joe Locke, saxophonist Tim Ries, drummer Billy Drummond and others lend their distinguished talents to this upbeat affair. And while some might be a bit aghast with this overtly ' radio friendly track mix consisting of 4-5 minute ...
Rick Margitza: Heart Of Hearts
by Mark Corroto
Where could tenor saxophonist and proclaimed young lion go after being anointed by Miles Davis in the late-eighties? Down, you say? Maybe. Rick Margitza did the three-and-out record deal with Blue Note and since has been spotted as a sideman on mostly small labels. Far too many young musicians have repeated this talented composer and musician’s ...
Thirteen Ways: Focus
by Mark Corroto
For an artist the process of abstracting an idea reveals the genius of his/her work. Picasso would begin with the reality of say, a bull. He would draw it many ways, each time paring away the unnecessary elements until he had captured the essence of the bull. He said this simplifying leaves merely the idea of ...
Thirteen Ways: Focus
by Glenn Astarita
Music-Magic is likely to occur when you unite woodwind specialist Michael Moore with pianist Fred Hersch and the very “musical” drummer/composer Gerry Hemingway for a recording session! Each one of these fine modernists are equally at home whether performing free-improv, chamber, mainstream or music so indefinable that mere words or classifications could be rendered banal or ...

Wilson-Berkman-Frahm-McCann-Allison: The Other Side of Ellington

Among the flood of commemorative Duke Ellington related projects witnessed in 1999, we cite The Other Side of Ellington as being one of the finer representations. Here, “Palmetto” recording artists, or perhaps – the “Palmetto All-Stars” turn in a decisively fresh and thoroughly attractive set of Ellington compositions along with one original by guitarist Pete McCann....... ...
