Sophisticated Ladies: A True Story
by Hrayr Attarian
Bordeaux-based Sophisticated Ladies joins an illustrious tradition of female jazz group that stretches back several decades to include International Sweethearts of Rhythm, Beryl Booker's Diva trio and its offshoot, Five Play, as well as Japan's Groovin' Girls trio. Elegant and understated interpretations of standards and chansons, often with Latin hints, make up the ...
Georgina Jackson: Watch What Happens
by Bruce Lindsay
Georgina Jackson is an avowed fan of “cheesy disco." She's similarly enthusiastic about Frank Sinatra, big bands, the American Songbook and PG Tips tea (which gets its own acknowledgement in the sleeve notes). The native of Wigan, in the north of England, is also a talented trumpet player and a singer with a sassy, vibrant style. ...
The Billie Davies Trio: All About Love
by C. Michael Bailey
Jazz compressed into small places, as it is in drummer Billie Davies' trombone trio, often gives the most unpredictable yet satisfying results. Piano-less trios are nothing new, but one lead by a trombonist, while still being comparable to Sonny Rollins' tenor saxophone trios of the 1950s, certainly is. Trombonist Tom Bone Ralls is careful to fill ...
Jay Smith Group: Unashamed Portrayal
by Glenn Astarita
California-based keyboardist Jay Smith's worldly musical views radiate mightily, as he borrows from the past and reformulates a refreshingly modern vibe, spanning jazz-fusion, blues-rock and more. He also injects panache into the proceedings and garners top-notch support, while fusing a coalition of memorable melodies with a rather ferocious improvisational element. The keyboardist incorporates a vastly entertaining ...

School Of Music Graduate Ensemble: Mars Apes
by Hrayr Attarian
The Philadelphia based University of Arts is famous for the excellence of its school of music and particularly the high caliber of its jazz education. Listening to the whimsically titled Mars Apes, it becomes clear that these accolades are not undeserved. Billed as School Of Music Graduate Ensemble, the group performs mostly original ...
Manner Effect: Abundance
by C. Michael Bailey
Manner Effect knits together the jazz aesthetics of The Bad Plus to Kneebody to pianist Robert Glasper and bassist Esperanza Spalding, while forging its own unique and progressive sound. With music, particularly jazz, so highly atomized, it is a hard market in which to distinguish oneself. This quintet's approach is one of total assimilation and immersion ...
