Thomas Chapin: Ride
by Troy Collins
Recorded live at the Netherlands' North Sea Jazz Festival in 1995, Ride captures Thomas Chapin's legendary trio at the height of its powers.

Peter Madsen: Prevue of Tomorrow
by Robert R. Calder
Aimez-vous Prokofiev? Granados? These composers' piano pieces are good markers of the genre of most of this set, which is based on compositions by the most fascinating individual jazz pianists.

Pavone is known to get the rhythm section out in front, and he continues to do ...
Mario Pavone Sextet: Deez to Blues
by Troy Collins
Bassist, composer and bandleader Mario Pavone leads a new all-star sextet on Deez to Blues, his seventeenth recording as a leader.

Michael Musillami Trio: Dachau
by Renato Wardle
The cult of youth has poisoned the world of music. Pop culture would have “instant artists shine momentarily, and then disappear quietly into the “where are they now category before they lose their baby teeth. In spite of this, seasoned musicians continue to move forward, breaking boundaries and defying the international fetishism of youth. ...
