Michael Landau / Robben Ford / Jimmy Haslip / Gary Novak: Renegade Creation
by John Kelman
While by no means an absolute, there's a strong case for great jazzers making great rockers: Larry Carlton with Steely Dan and Michael Jackson; drummer Steve Gadd with Eric Clapton and Paul Simon; and saxophonist Michael Brecker with Billy Joel and Blue Oyster Cult. Renegade Creation's four artists may possesses a broader jazz vernacular, but it's ...

by Ian Patterson
Despite singing jazz for thirty years, Here I Am is Junji Delfino's first solo recording.

Simon & Garfunkel Come Together for Unexpected Mrs. Robinson
Hollywood's A-List turns out to celebrate Mike Nichols at AFI tribute The ambiance at the Sony Pictures Studios soundstage, where Judy Garland once walked down the Yellow Brick Road, had a couple of differences from the Academy Awards: The tribute for the 78-year-old was more intimate and, as Helen Mirren said while waiting for her car ...
Barb Jungr: The Men I Love: The New American Songbook
by C. Michael Bailey
A British Edith Piaf is a dead-on description of Barb Jungr. She is more a song stylist than a jazz vocalist but on The Men I Love she mines a new vein of music in the Great American Songbook for alternative interpretation. All the songs, whether originally up-tempo or ballads, are easily spread into a contemporary ...

Kristina is part Angolan, German and Native American (Cherokee Indian), giving her ...
L'Image (Mainieri/Bernhardt/Spinozza/Levin/Gadd): 2.0
by John Kelman
It may seem odd to take nearly 40 years to release a debut, but in the case of L'Image it's definitely a case of never-too-late. A collective formed by vibraphonist Mike Mainieri in the early 1970s, L'Image generated considerable buzz for its live shows before, on the cusp of recording its first album, circumstances forced the ...
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.
