John Mayall: Live in London
by Doug Collette
Though John Mayall doesn't deign to call the unit that collaborates with him on Live in London “The Bluesbreakers," his current band is arguably as tight and sympathetic as any ensemble that's sported the moniker in the recent past. Fusing bassist Greg Rzab, drummer Jay Davenport and guitarist Rocky into a fluid ensemble, The Godfather of ...

Sebastian Liedke Trio: Zeitenwende
by Karl Ackermann
This second release from Germany's Sebastian Liedke Trio is initially so unassuming that it is only on repeated listens that the music unfolds in understated complexity. Within the treatments of its six original tunes, the contemplative nature of the music is infused with a bristling energy. Roughly translating to a “turning point," Zeitenwende is, indeed, that ...
Gonzalo Del Val Trio: Three Generations
by Dan Bilawsky
Spanish jazz musicians need not produce music that overwhelms with Iberian-influenced sounds or seduces with the so-called “Spanish Tinge" at every turn, and drummer Gonzalo Del Val's trio is proof. While Del Val's music isn't completely devoid of elements endemic to his musical DNA ("Malena"), the drummer's broad outlook goes well beyond any one place or ...
Tarana: After The Disquiet
by Lawrence Peryer
After the Disquiet is a beguiling EP from Tarana, a duo consisting of drummer Ravish Momin and violinist Trina Basu. Recorded live in March 2011, After the Disquiet finds Momin laying down a variety of acoustic drum beats while adding his own real-time electronic manipulations. Over this, Basu adds Eastern-themed improvisations. The sound quality is not ...
Human: Under the Holiday Star
by Larry Taylor
Standing out in the 2011 Christmas season's recordings, Under The Holiday Star is, in fact, a swinging big band session for any season. With crisp arrangements, it features crack solos, along with engaging vocals. Without a doubt, a major plus in this collection of classics and yuletide originals is that it's available free from Belgian lager ...
Trio Shalva: Riding Alone
by Dan Bilawsky
All three members of this group originally hail from Israel, but Trio Shalva actually took shape a world away, at the global epicenter of the jazz universe. Pianist Assaf Gleizner, guitarist/bassist Koby Hayon and drummer Nadav Snir Zelniker were each pursuing their own musical paths in New York when they connected for a gig in 2009, ...

Sean McGowan: Sphere
by David Rickert
Those who seek to create a tribute album of Thelonious Monk music face one big obstacle: how do you capture Monk's idiosyncratic style without sounding like a pale imitation? You could just record cover versions of his songs and leave it at that, but the end result wouldn't really capture the pianist's oddball genius, so what ...
Ben van Gelder: Frame of Reference
by Mark F. Turner
It's hard to believe that Frame of Reference is a debut. The compositions are beguiling, spirited yet poised, and doused with the arid phrasing of a seasoned master. But there's also a youthful exuberance that accompanies 22 year-old saxophonist Ben Van Gelder, who studied music at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and travels between New York and ...
