Barry Harris: Live in New York
by Riel Lazarus
Live jazz recordings are a curious sort of creature. Sometimes they capture the energy of spontaneous creation so fundamental to the jazz idiom, while at other times they unwittingly detach the music from the atmosphere which inspired it. In the case of legendary pianist Barry Harris' recent release, Live in New York, jazz fans will be ...
Barry Harris: Live In New York
by Mark Corroto
It is funny (strange) how the mainstream press “rediscovers" jazz musicians in the golden years of their careers. Not that Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, or Dexter Gordon had ever really been missing. As with these hall of famers, prepare for the mainstream press to rediscover pianist Barry Harris. Marketing departments might favor twenty-somethings over bespeckled white-haired ...
Barry Harris: Live in New York
by Dan McClenaghan
Do they give Grammy Awards for the best performance by an underrated jazz performer? If they do, last year's winner would have to have been saxman Von Freeman's The Improvisor. This year the top nominee would have to be pianist Barry Harris, for Live in New York. Harris has been playing jazz in the mode of ...
Pete Malinverni: Autumn in New York
by C. Andrew Hovan
Remaining just a bit below the radar scans of all but the most astute jazz followers, New Yorker Pete Malinverni has recorded a total of four albums now for the Reservoir label and each one has spoken eloquently for a greater appreciation of his gifts.

Pete Malinverni: Autumn in New York
by Elliott Simon
Dedicated to two friends who heroically perished on that fatal New York autumn morning, the stark black and white “In Memoriam" look of pianist Pete Malinverni's new release belies the hope that lies within. Malinverni reprises the Vernon Duke classic title and tastefully uses his friends' courageous acts to deliver a prayer of hope to the ...
Pete Malinverni: Autumn in New York
by Dan McClenaghan
In the piano trio format, there's no faking it. Technical prowess is necessary, but if that's all there is, the resulting sounds have a feel of sterility; the music, no matter how well-executed, sinks into the forgettable category.Pianist Pete Malinverni has the goods in terms of experience: classical studies, a degree from the prestigious ...
John Fedchock's New York Big Band: No Nonsense
by Jack Bowers
By the time this review has been written and (I hope!) read, trombonist John Fedchock will be on the final leg of a seven-month-long world tour that has included stops in Sweden, Norway, South Africa and a number of cities here in the US. Before leaving, Fedchock and his star-laden New York Big Band ...

Nick Brignola: What It Takes
by William Grim
Nick Brignola was one of the greatest baritone saxophonists of the 20th century and this album was one of his best and most far-ranging efforts. Focusing on straight ahead and bop oriented material, Brignola begins the album with an up-tempo of version of “Star Eyes” in the style of Charlie Parker. Randy Brecker on trumpet delivers ...
