Pat Martino: Joyous Lake

Read "Pat Martino: Joyous Lake" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Pat MartinoJoyous LakeWarner Bros.1977 Seemingly a hardcore mainstreamer at heart--though one with no shortage of experimental élan, proven over a series of ten albums from 1967's El Hombre (Prestige) to 1976's wonderful duo with pianist Gil Goldstein, We'll Be Together Again (Muse, 1976)--guitarist Pat Martino came relatively late to the jazz-rock ...

This recording in front of ...

Dave Liebman: Ceremony

Read "Ceremony" reviewed by Victor L. Schermer

by Victor L. Schermer

This exciting new album returns to the haunting evocative beauty of the origins of jazz rhythms but has a contemporary feeling infused into it by very sophisticated players of contemporary jazz and Latin music who give the album a special shine. While jazz matured within an eclectic mix of American music ranging from marching bands to ...
