by Jim Santella
Mostly his originals, the session smokes with an authenticity that centers on exciting guitar leadership.

Hammond organ and guitar go back a long way. ...
Drew Gress: Spin and Drift
by Glenn Astarita
Here, bassist Drew Gress mans the helm to what is essentially, alto saxophonist Tim Berne's “Paraphrase" trio - plus pianist/composer Uri Caine.

Paul Wertico Trio: Don't Be Scared Anymore
by Todd S. Jenkins
Following the untimely demise of the Igmod label, the Paul Wertico Trio made an enlivening shift to Premonition to produce their first studio disc.
