Jeff Lofton: Jazz to the People
by Josep Pedro
Born in Germany and raised in South Carolina, Jeff Lofton's trumpet sound has become a striking force in Austin's music scene since moved there about four years ago. Friendly and bright in his reasoning, Lofton has proved to be a versatile, mature musician overtly combining straight-ahead jazz with fusion. His appealing, laidback character and soulful playing ...
Mark Winkler: Sweet Spot
by C. Michael Bailey
For all of his musical bona fides, Mark Winkler is no more a jazz singer than Jim Caruso or Michael Bublé. In spite of the fact that he attracted the best of the best in his sidemen--bassist Robert Hurst, pianist Billy Childs and drummer Greg Hutchinson--for Sweet Spot, he remains something else. The point being, that ...

Peter Zak: Down East
by C. Michael Bailey
Block chords, swinging touch, trio setting, full-throated playing: this must be Red Garland. No, its New York City pianist and composer Peter Zak and his loquacious piano style, tasteful and full-bodied. Down East is Zak's sixth release for the Danish Steeplechase label. Zak's piano approach is easily stated, even and uniformly dense. His Ornette Coleman ("Invisible") ...
Peter Zak: Down East
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Peter Zak and his superb trio went into the studio to swing on Down East, and swing they did. Opening with Duke Pearson's “Is That So?," Zak displays a light touch and a sparkle and shine not unlike that of Red Garland or Oscar Peterson, with ubiquitous bassist Peter Washington and drummer Rodney Green locking ...

Benjamin Drazen: Inner Flights

Manuel Rocheman: The Touch of Your Lips: Tribute to Bill Evans
by C. Michael Bailey
The French Naive record label, long known for its fine releases of classical music--particularly its ongoing Vivaldi Opera project--has initiated a jazz stream, highlighting French jazz talent, including pianist Manuel Rocheman's The Touch of Your Lips: Tribute to Bill Evans. It is somehow fitting that a tribute to America's last great pioneer in jazz piano (apologies ...
Red Garland and Lockjaw Davis
Some jazz contemporaries were perfect for each other but never recorded. Charlie Parker and Clifford Brown, for example, in the early '50s. Or Art Tatum and Benny Goodman in the '40s. In other cases, some dynamic duos did wind up in a studio together—but strangely didn't record nearly enough. One prime example is Red Garland [pictured] ...
