Spike Wilner: 3 To Go
by George Kanzler
At a small jazz festival a few years ago the advertised theme was a celebration of Duke Ellington's music. But some featured acts, including one highly regarded younger pianist, obviously hadn't taken the theme very seriously, his only begrudging nod to it being a rendition of the jam session standby, “C-Jam Blues," hardly a tune representative ...
Yotam Silberstein: Next Page
by Dan McClenaghan
The organ trio approach is one of the more drenched-in-the-tradition formats in jazz. From Wes Montgomery's Riverside recordings through Grant Green's Blue Note sets up to Dr. Lonnie Smith's innovations, there's always a feeling of timeless soulfulness to the grouping of guitar, Hammond B3 organ and drums.Tel Aviv-born guitarist Yotom Silberstein, on Next Page, ...
Jeremy Manasia: After Dark
by Terrell Kent Holmes

by George Kanzler
Trombonist Steve Davis has spent much of his two-decade jazz career in larger ensembles--big bands but most notably sextets, from Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Chick Corea's Origin and the co-op band One for All to Benny Golson's New Jazztet.

John Escreet: Consequences
by Mark F. Turner
Since moving to New York in 2006 the exciting London pianist/composer John Escreet has assembled a sensational group of likeminded leaders/thinkers--first call saxophonist David Binney, and equally dynamic younger stars, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, bassist Matt Brewer, and drummer Tyshawn Sorey--to form the John Escreet Project. The resulting recording Consequences, is a scintillating work of modern progressive ...

Ehud Asherie: Lockout
by J Hunter
Bebop is almost seen now as the default form of jazz. Back in the day though, most jazz musicians still swung and swayed like Sammy Kaye, so the “new sound Dizzy Gillespie and his cohorts invented was as jarring as anything coming out of today's New York jazz underground. With Lockout, pianist Ehud Asherie takes that ...
