James Danderfer: If Not Now
by Jack Bowers
The clarinet, which once was commonplace in jazz (think Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, Pee Wee Russell, Tony Scott, Buddy DeFranco, Jimmy Giuffre, Pete Fountain, Bob Wilber and many others), is all but absent these days save for a handful of adamant diehards such as Paquito D'Rivera, Eddie Daniels, Don Byron and Ken Peplowski.

Sergio Pamies: Time to Say
by Jack Bowers
Spanish themes and rhythms reign supreme on Time to Say, Granada-born composer, arranger and pianist Sergio Pamies' fourth album, one that is enhanced on its opening and closing numbers, respectively, by the presence of renowned woodwind artists Dave Liebman and Paquito D'Rivera. Not that Pamies' septet needs much help, as everyone is laser-focused ...
Eddy Marcano: Onda Nueva
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un CD di soli ventisei minuti è una discreta anomalia, ove non si tratti di musica leggera. Già, ma questo nuovo album del violinista venezuelano Eddy Marcano non appartiene forse alla generosa e ampiamente ramificata congrega della musica leggera?
