Lenore Raphael: Reflections
by AAJ Staff
“Reflections" Lenore Raphael Trio..Swingin' Fox Music Lenore Raphael is clearly in charge on this disc.

Kendra Shank: Reflections
by Jerry D'Souza
It is always a pleasure discovering something new, even if that “new" has been around for a while. So it is with Kendra Shank, as complete a jazz singer as one could wish for.

Luico Hopper: Reflections
by AAJ Staff

Ms. Shank had already set herself apart as a singer who was deeply committed to jazz but unwilling to ...

Big Bands on Radio 1933-52: The Music of Harold Arlen
by Jack Bowers
As one would envision from an anthology spanning a twenty–year period that preceded the advent of modern recording techniques and apparatus, sound quality varies widely on these radio air–checks from 1933 (Benny Goodman / Jack Teagarden, “I Got a Right to Sing the Blues”) to 1955 (the Dorsey brothers, “Let’s Fall in Love”).
