Lee Jones: Songs From The 13th Hour

Read "Songs From The 13th Hour" reviewed by Douglas Payne

by Douglas Payne

This enjoyable and engaging album--guitarist Lee Jones's second as a leader--aims to throw some much-needed wrinkles in to the smoothness of so much contemporary jazz.

When you consider what would be the animal kingdom's equivalent of hot, lusty Latin jazz, the first animal you think of is most likely not the turtle. At least not until you hear this first studio album by De La Buena, La Tortuga (the turtle). Milwaukee Wisconsin's reigning masters of Latin and Afro-Cuban ...

Club d'Elf: Electric Moroccoland / So Below

Read "Electric Moroccoland / So Below" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki

by Chris M. Slawecki

Even in our far-reaching and cluttered modern musical culture, it seems safe to suggest that there is no other band quite like Club d'Elf, a floating riverboat gamble with a fluid cast of contributors--keyboardist John Medeski, guitarists Reeves Gabrels and Duke Levin, Mat Maneri on electric viola, turntablist Mister Rourke, and many others among them--steered by ...

Some people favor the big statement: the bling of an over-large jewel, the blinding distraction of too many sparkly things. Others have the good taste to know that the small stones shine most brightly.
