Vote For Vein: Three People Can't Be Wrong!
by Dave Wayne
Working in a piano trio these days, it's really quite hard to stand out with so many amazing players in the piano trio biz. Think about it.

Natsuki Tamura: Dragon Nat
by Dave Wayne
The instrumentalist begins his career as, essentially, a solo artist. Whether is practicing long tones or scales or drum rudiments, nearly everyone who plays a musical instrument starts out unaccompanied. On the road to mastery, most musicians spend thousands of hours playing alone. In jazz, solo recordings by musicians other than pianists or guitarists are a ...
Pandelis Karayorgis Quintet: Circuitous

È il doveroso riconoscimento a uno degli artisti più originali del jazz statunitense ma non ...
Maria Baptist: Music for Jazz Orchestra
by Jack Bowers
Like it or not, a new wave of young composer / arrangers has surfaced, scrupulously guiding big bands into heretofore uncharted waters, now and then smooth, at other times choppy, but always intriguing and inspired. Maria Schneider, George Gruntz, Jim McNeely and Carla Bley were among the pacesetters, followed in short order by such (relative) newcomers ...

Jeff Dayton-Johnson's Best Releases of 2013
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Every year the list gets longer and more heterogeneous. There are blockbusters and obscure little gems, loud jazz and quiet jazz, hip hop and kora music, some of it downright unclassifiable. Which is fine. “Junku," a 1984 track anthologized on Herbie Hancock's spectacular box set below, is in fact both hip hop and kora music! In ...
