Mark Harvey Group, Thumbscrew & Rez Abbasi
by Maurice Hogue
No matter who pianist Russ Lossing chooses for his various trio projects, they always work! His new Mood Suite, with Mark Helias on bass and Eric McPherson on drums is excellent. Although Lossing has played with Helias and McPherson over the past two decades, they've never played as a trio before. Musical osmosis must work, because ...

Favourite Releases of 2019
by Maurice Hogue
This episode features some of my favourite recordings released in 2019, chosen from a year of some pretty damn fine music. It always seems that I tend toward bassist-led sessions, and that's the case again, with great recordings from Carlos Bica, Torbjorn Zetterberg and the Miles Perkin Quartet for starters. As well, more women artists appear ...
Tower Jazz Composers Orch. & Daniel Bernardes
by Maurice Hogue
Improvisation is the core of clarinetist Ben Goldberg's Good Day For Cloud Fishing, and not just the music.

Russ Lossing Trio: The Ways

More music from them would allow fans to study the development of the chemistry between Lossing, bassist Masa Kamaguchi, and drummer Billy Mintz. The instantaneous telepathy between piano, bass, ...
