Roxy Coss: Roxy Coss
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Nothing can prepare the ear and the heart for the voice of Roxy Coss, if heard for the first time. The raw beauty of her principal instrument, the tenor saxophone, is expressed in moist, hot gushes of breath. The cascades of notes that dapple her soli weave in and out of her exuberant melodies. She has ...

Eliane Amherd: Now And From Now On
by Bruce Lindsay
Eliane Amherd creates bright and cheery, easy to listen to; jazz music that's a perfect soundtrack to sunny summer days. She also writes and performs material with a harder edge, darker and raunchier. She's blessed with a strong voice that's capable of intimate romance and bluesy hollers, and she is a fine guitarist, with touches of ...
New Tricks: Alternate Side...
by Greg Simmons
Here's something you don't read in album liner notes every day: “We recorded in Shawn's apartment...using only blankets wrapped around music stands for audio separation." New Tricks has seemingly recorded Alternate Side... in some no-frills circumstances, but there's truth in the old saying that adversity sometimes brings out the best in people. This piano-less ...
David Mott: Dragonhorn
by Karl Ackermann
Baritone saxophonist David Mott has turned out the finest solo sax recording since Anthony Braxton's Wesleyan 12 Altosolos (Hat Hut Records 1992). That is not to suggest that Mott's Dragonhorn is similar to Braxton's particular style. Mott's ten compositions are not given to episodic jumps, vibrations or anything remotely antiseptic. Rather, they are packed with emotion, ...
Ljubojna: Ljubojna in Life
by Nenad Georgievski
As a band Ljubojna is a sum of many parts. While folk music is a prominent ingredient in its music, so, too, are jazz, pop, hip-hop, jungle and other forms; for this septet, the folk background is merely just another aspect of its musical Esperanto. All of the musos are more than able, prolific and have ...
Lanta

Lars Dietrich: Stand Alone
by Bruce Lindsay
Genuine solo albums are hard to come by. For far too many musicians, a solo album is simply one where none of the collaborators get their names on the front cover. The real thing can have many benefits for the soloist--no other musicians to pay, no awkward clashes of egos, no breaking up over musical differences. ...
Audrey Silver: Dream Awhile
by Wilbert Sostre
to tell, by the pure joy of Audrey Silver's voice on Dream Awhile, that this 2009 collection is the singer's favorite jazz standards. Silver amazing, glimmering tone shines all throughout, especially on the up-tempo, swinging tracks “I Will Wait For You," “Exactly Like You" and Irving Berlin's “The Song Is Ended." She even adds some Ella ...
Susie Meissner: I’m Confessin’
by C. Michael Bailey
On vocalist Susie Meissner's previous recording, I'll Remember April (Self Produced, 2008), the singer staked out the center of the middle of the road stylistically. Her repertoire was from the most popular sections of The Great American Songbook, dispatched tastefully in her well-balanced high alto. Dedicated to the melody, Meissner is clearly not one given to ...
