Mara Rosenbloom Trio: Prairie Burn
by Dan Bilawsky
When thought outpaces action in music, the results are often staid and forgettable. Conversely, when thinking is suppressed in favor of ceaseless activity, the end results are often turbid, shambolic, and largely unlistenable. It's the power struggle between the two, along with the personalities controlling that struggle, that help jazz to expand, evolve, explore, and excite. ...
Yoni Kretzmer 2 Bass Quartet: Book II
by John Sharpe
One of the major innovations of the 1960s New Thing was to liberate the so called rhythm section from time keeping duties. The role of the bass in particular was transformed, allowing it leeway to sit alongside the front line. But there was still sometimes a need to impart momentum. One solution was to double up, ...

Mara Rosenbloom, Darius Jones, Brian Drye: Brooklyn Artist Snapshot
by Seton Hawkins
To even the casual observer, Brooklyn has incubated an extraordinary new generation of talented jazz artists. While the Borough is certainly renowned for a vibrant jazz community, and indeed has been since the mid-twentieth century, this latest cohort of artists is nevertheless worthy of a particular spotlight, not only for being a gathering of tremendous performers ...
Mara Rosenbloom Quartet: Songs from the Ground
