Sean Parsons: Introduction

Read "Introduction" reviewed by Sean Coughlin

by Sean Coughlin

Pianist Sean Parsons has put together an eclectic album of originals, offering the opportunity for an unpredictable listening journey.

Koby Hayon: Gemini

Read "Gemini" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

While Israeli-born guitarist Koby Hayon has been Stateside since 2001, he still proudly displays his roots in his musical projects. His position as the director of a Westchester, NY-based Jewish music festival--Nigunim: A Festival of New Improvised Jewish Music--and his work with fellow Israeli's Nadav Snir-Zelniker and Assaf Glizner in Trio Shalva are overt expressions of ...

Matthew Rybicki: Driven

Read "Driven" reviewed by Matt Marshall

by Matt Marshall

Driven may seem a curious title for the debut album of a 37-year-old artist. But it's likely bassist Matthew Rybicki chose the title more as a pronouncement of his musical tastes ("It's definitely critical for me to be trying to swing all the time," he has noted) and, perhaps, of the bassist's role within music, generally. ...

Justin Kauflin: Introducing Justin Kauflin

Read "Introducing Justin Kauflin" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

Sight and vision are not the same thing, and pianist Justin Kauflin is a testament to this fact. While a rare eye disease robbed Kauflin of his sight by the time he was eleven years old, his artistic vision and sense of purpose remain intact. Kauflin's classical training initially placed him on a certain path, but ...

Henry Darragh: Tell Her for Me

Read "Tell Her for Me" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Do we really need one more trombonist/singer from Texas? Well, seeing that the only one that comes to mind presently is “Tea" Jack Teagarden, then, well, yes we do. Multi-instrumentalist Henry Darragh completely fits the musical bill. While Darragh looks more like a physics graduate student at UT-Austin, he is, actually, an accomplished composer/performer, who leads ...

Chris Crocco: The Chris Crocco Fluid Trio +

Read "The Chris Crocco Fluid Trio +" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

by Karl Ackermann

The best of creative modern jazz can be visualized like Providence's Waterfire: living, breathing art with the near silence of water and sizzle of fire. True to that spirit, The Chris Crocco Fluid Trio + offers both vitalizing and hushed elements in the sequence of tunes on its self-titled sophomore outing. Crocco, the southern-born, New York-based ...

Peter Scherr: Son of August

Read "Son of August" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Bassist Peter Sherr made a splash with his trio recording with Jazz Folk--Jazz in the Stone Age (Self Produced, 2010)--a strange collection of grunge covered jazz. Son of August pairs the bassist with his slide guitar playing brother, Tony Scherr, second guitarist Brad Shepik, and saxophonist Michael Blake, for a curious collection of progressive jazz and ...

Itamar Erez / The Adama Ensemble: Hommage

Read "Hommage" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni

by Eyal Hareuveni

Four years passed between the debut recording of Israeli pianist/guitarist Itamar Erez and this sophomore one. Desert Song (Self Produced, 2006), was recorded with his Canadian quartet, and after relocating to Israel he founded a local quartet, based on the same instrumentation that was introduced by the pioneering, genre-breaking quartet, Oregon. On Hommage, ...
