Gabriel Vicens: Point in Time
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
On Point In Time, his debut date as a leader, Puerto Rican guitarist Gabriel Vicéns heads a solid quintet of young players, considerably bolstered by a couple of A-list substitutions from the highest echelons of Puerto Rican jazz: tenor saxophonist David Sánchez on a pair of tracks, and bassist Eddie Gomez on about half the record.
Edmar Castaneda: Double Portion
by Dan Bilawsky
There is probably a greater chance of winning the lottery and being struck by lightning than building a career as a successful, world-renowned jazz Colombian harpist. Fortunately, Edmar Castaneda was more interested in pursuing his vision than studying statistics and probability. The Colombian-born harp phenom, who arrived in the United States in 1994, didn't have the ...
Lisa Marie Baratta: Summertime Jazz
by Hrayr Attarian
Multi-reed player Lisa Marie Baratta's second album as a leader, Summertime Jazz, is a collection of standards that sooth the soul like the languid days of summer.

Jose Garcia: Songs For A Lifetime, Live
by C. Michael Bailey
Asking if Jose Garcia is a jazz singer is like asking the same to Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett. The most conservative answer is “no," that they are, perhaps, “popular music stylists." They are the vehicles that introduce and reintroduce the great American songbook to a public craving the high quality craftsmanship of these songs originally ...
Will Fisher: Portage
by Dave Sumner
Whereas some drummers lead the charge and others spur on the ensemble from behind, Will Fisher takes the approach of examining the landscape from above and letting his rhythms settle down into the seams between the notes of others. The opening “The Great Karoo" puts this method on display right from word go. Guitarist Mikko Hilden ...
Lisa Hilton: American Impressions
by C. Michael Bailey
Lisa HiltonAmerican ImpressionsSelf Produced2012 The last few years have seen the release of significant jazz recordings celebrating Americana.

Leslie Lewis: Midnight Sun
by C. Michael Bailey
Jazz singing does not so much require an obedient voice as a directed but free-spirited one. There are few vocalists who can pull off the elastic fireworks of a Betty Carter, Lisa Sokolov or Tierney Sutton and fewer still who should even try. East Coast-West Coast vocalist Leslie Lewis has a beautifully perfect alto voice for ...
