Koby Hayon: Gemini
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
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
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 ...

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 +
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
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
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, ...
