Ehud Asherie: Modern Life
by Bruce Lindsay
Modern life, if this fine recording from Israeli-born, New York-based pianist Ehud Asherie is anything to go by, happened sometime between the late-1940s and the late-'50s. From the beautifully-designed packaging--with the greens and golds of the graphics matched by those of Asherie's suit, shirt and tie--to the exquisite renditions of classic tunes and a couple of ...
Ehud Asherie: Modern Life
by Dan Bilawsky
A dichotomy exists within the musical mind of pianist Ehud Asherie. The youthful pianist is clearly an old soul in many ways.

Ralph Bowen: Due Reverence
by Mark F. Turner
Thanks to an American Idol culture and any number of other circumstances, the jazz universe is filled with extremely bright, if lesser known stars, who are just as talented as their more noted constellations. Such is the case with saxophonist Ralph Bowen, a truly bad-ass player who has appeared on over 60 recordings as a sideman ...
