Mike Mainieri: Man Behind Bars
by John Kelman
It's hard to imagine vibraphonist Mike Mainieri in his seventies. Not only does he look and sound like a man 10 years (or more) his junior, but a quick look at the projects he's been involved in over the past few years sound like anything but a septuagenarian resting on his not inconsiderable laurels.
John Moulder: Bifrost
by David Rickert
It's probably inevitable that any review of any of John Moulder's recordings will mention that he is a Catholic priest. Not only is this an interesting dichotomy for most of us to reconcile--a century ago, people in Moulder's profession were calling jazz the devil's music--but it's also an indication that, just maybe, in exchange for his ...
Gabriel Riesco Project: Sculptures in Time
by Edward Blanco
Spanish guitarist Gabriel Riesco leads his GRProject quintet on their second album, Sculptures in Time, presenting a challenging selection of original modern and fusion-like jazz diced with elements of Latin and a splattering of smooth jazz.

Born in England and raised in Vancouver, Canada, Blake has gained recognition by Down Beat and JazzTimes magazines, and finished first ...
