Glenn White: Sacred Machines

Read "Sacred Machines" reviewed by Jay Deshpande


New York-based saxophonist Glenn White presents a set of eloquent and somewhat haunting tunes on Sacred Machines. The machines herein are a platform for the strong soloists in the ensemble, but the album's unity comes from a common palette that transcends the bandleader's harmonic tendencies (White wrote six of the disc's seven songs). Sacred Machines presents ...

Five Spot: Poltva

Read "Poltva" reviewed by Alex Martynov


There is not a great number of releases from the Ukrainian free-jazz scene. Admittedly, this scene is not very crowded with performers; still, it has something worth documenting. One of the most interesting albums of 2008 is from the international quintet Five Spot and Poltva. The name of the album is symbolic: Poltva is the name ...

Roberta Piket Trio: Love and Beauty

Read "Love and Beauty" reviewed by Marcia Hillman


Pianist Roberta Piket likes to push the envelope a little, which makes Love and Beauty an interesting adventure. Piket is joined by her usual cohorts--bassist Ratzo Harris and drummer Billy Mintz--in this offering of original material and two standards.

Roberta Piket Trio: Love and Beauty

Read "Love and Beauty" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Sitting in the middle of an interactive trio, pianist/composer Roberta Piket unplugs herself from her Alternating Current and delves deep into acoustic piano trio mode on Love and Beauty. Joined by bassist Billy Mintz and drummer Ratzo Harris, the set explores, by turns, lyrical loveliness, gentle loving affection, and sharp-edged abstraction with an old fashioned straight-at-you ...

Roberta Piket & Alternating Current: I'm Back in Therapy and It's All Your Fault

Read "I'm Back in Therapy and It's All Your Fault" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Piano Lady Roberta Piket is looking quite cool, a little bit saucy, on the cover of her new CD... sunglasses and a hot pink sleeveless blouse, hips cocked, hands planted thereon, head tilted at a “you got a problem" angle. And then there's the title: I'm Back in Therapy and It's All Your Fault. That leads ...

Roberta Piket Trio: speak, memory

Read "speak, memory" reviewed by David A. Orthmann


Roberta Piket plays the piano with the sensibility of someone on an endless search, yet she makes music that is accessible to the listener who is willing to meet her halfway. On speak, memory, her steely determination is balanced by a willingness to interact conversationally with bassist Masa Kamaguchi and drummer Jeff Williams (her musical partner ...
