Tony Adamo: Was Out Jazz Zone Mad reviewed By Jazz Weekly

Tony Adamo: Was Out Jazz Zone Mad reviewed By Jazz Weekly

One of the great things about Tony Adamo is that you just can’t peg him down. He’s part vocalist, poet, street preacher, hip uncle, but above all, a jazzer with a grooving heart. On this album, he lays down the jazz laws of life’s observations with the highly funkified team that includes legendary drummer Mike Clark ...

Kaveh Rastegar: Light Of Love

Read "Light Of Love" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

The John L. Nelson Project: Don't Play With Love

Read "Don't Play With Love" reviewed by Phillip Woolever

by Phillip Woolever

Playing a key role in creating a musician can mean just as much as creating music. In that regard, this is indeed an ironic title since strong emotional ties formed the beginning of both the song's origins and offspring. During years around the 1950s, John L. Nelson performed traditional jazz songs he wrote under ...

Escaper: Edge Detection

Read "Edge Detection" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Its name cryptic but provocative, Escaper embarks on something of a fantastic journey with its sophomore album, Edge Detection. As the quintet moves from the earthy realms of the material world into far-flung reaches of space(s), it legitimately seeks to inspire and to a great degree achieves that ambition. Nine nimble renderings of Escaper's ...
