Bill Barner: Ten Tunes

Read "Ten Tunes" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

by Hrayr Attarian

Variety is the theme of Bill Barner's plainly titled Ten Tunes. Although currently employed by a big band and small swing combos, Barner's career as reed man has spanned different genres, from free jazz and Indian raga and to bluegrass and klezmer, and the disc reflects that versatility, with the leader focusing exclusively on clarinet.

Juan Andrés Ospina: BBB (Barcelona Bogota Boston)

Read "BBB (Barcelona Bogota Boston)" reviewed by Lewis J Whittington

by Lewis J Whittington

The jazz diary of pianist/composer Juan Andrés Ospina's BBB is an elegant, untethered tour of primary musical colors, with inviting light, angles and shadows. “Todavía No" states the theme with percussionist Austin McMahon's airy drums swinging, with tango punctuations. Saxophonists Ben Roseth and actually Matan Chapnizka dominate with flights of jazz fancy, though it is Ospina's ...

Joanna Weinberg: The Piano Diaries

Read "The Piano Diaries" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Joanna Weinberg's The Piano Diaries is not exactly jazz, but it is also not exactly not jazz. Intended for the small stage--appropriate, given her work in several musicals and one-woman shows--the singer/composer's music lives in that overlap between cabaret and jazz. Relocating from South Africa to Sydney, Australia in 1997, the London-born Weinberg is a true ...

Patrick Battstone and Richard Poole: Mystic Nights

Read "Mystic Nights" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

by Hrayr Attarian

Alan Leatherman: Detour Ahead

Read "Detour Ahead" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Two tracks into Alan Leatherman's Detour Ahead and the phrase “sweet soul music" comes to mind. But this isn't the rarified realm of Sam Cooke or Otis Redding with ballads. Rather, Leatherman resides--and comfortably so--in the role of classic torch singer Careful phrasing, perfect breath control and deep emotion earmark the title song, “Blame ...

National Park Service: Songs of the Lower Mississippi Delta

Read "Songs of the Lower Mississippi Delta" reviewed by Wade Luquet

by Wade Luquet

Park rangers often conjure up images of uniformed guardians of historical monuments or natural resources in national forests. In New Orleans, these same uniformed rangers guard one of the United States' most precious resources--jazz and the music of the American south. The rangers of the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park are musicians and historians who ...
