Read "Second Side" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

by Raul d'Gama Rose

The leap forward from Debut (Superfran Records, 2007) to Second Side is, quite literally, a significant one for Canadian-born bassist, Brandi Disterheft. Now enjoying herself immensely, the bassist appears to greet her emerging music with infinite self-assurance and unabashed style. Claiming spiritual (and therefore musical) ancestry from Charles Mingus, Disterheft plays with a rare muscularity, thrusting ...

Ranee Lee: Maple Groove: Songs From The Great Canadian Songbook

Read "Maple Groove: Songs From The Great Canadian Songbook" reviewed by Norman Weinstein

by Norman Weinstein

Canadian vocalist Ranee Lee mines an attractive concept on Maple Groove : showcasing great Canadian songwriters. The vast majority of major Canadian songwriters known internationally are pop rather than jazz artists, but a singer with Lee's chops and taste meets the challenge of making pop songs propulsively swing.
