Madeleine Peyroux: Careless Love
by David French
Madeleine Peyroux's first release in eight years is a moody, haunting masterpiece that will soon be playing in every coffee house and cozy bar in the country. It's a whale of a record. Peyroux's voice is amazing--grainy, intimate and unaffected, with a bluesy lilt that at times recalls mid-career Billie Holiday. In fact, her singing recalls ...

Klezmer Conservatory Band: A Taste of Paradise
by Dan McClenaghan
A Taste of Paradise opens with one of those freewheeling, madcap klezmer tunes, full of whimsey and near-daft musical energy, a swirling break-neck mix of rollicking piano and and loose-jointed horns. “Sarba Miracinae" is The Klezmer Conservatory Band's version – learned from a 1938 recording – of Alexander Olshanetsky's New York based orchestra's take on the ...

Branford Marsalis Quartet: Footsteps of Our Fathers
by Mark F. Turner
A slightly different perspective on Branford's new stellar work. No introduction is needed for one of the strongest saxophonists of our time. Branford Marsalis has started his own recording company entitled Marsalis Music with the release of Footsteps of Our Fathers, with compositions selected by jazz greats Ornette Coleman, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, and John Lewis ...
The Branford Marsalis Quartet: Footsteps of Our Fathers
by Dan McClenaghan
Footsteps of Our Fathers is the first great Branford Marsalis album since 96's The Dark Keys. Credit the label change; Mr. Marsalis has started his own record company, Marsalis Music. The results are stunning. His last few efforts on the major label were a bit thin. Sounded great on initial listenings, but they seemed somehow diluted, ...
