Martyna: Oh Butterfly
by Bruce Lindsay
Oh Butterfly, the first release from British singer and songwriter Martyna, is a brief but impressive debut. Her voice is light and expressive while the songs, all self-penned, herald the arrival of a talented composer--and one of these songs has the potential to become a bona fide standard. It's important not to give ...
Kat Parra & Sephardic Music Experience: Dos Amantes
by Woodrow Wilkins
Some music defies categorization. In the case of Dos Amantes, by Kat Parra & The Seraphic Experience, it's the blending of several styles that make genre assignment a challenge; to place it in one area would be to omit others. Parra played piano as a child and later studied flute. After marrying at 18, ...
Kenny Davis: Kenny Davis
by John Kelman
He's had an illustrious career since moving to New York in the mid-1980s and hitching a gig with drummer Ralph Peterson Jr. and contemporary mainstreamers Out of the Blue (OTB), but he's waited until now to release an album under his own name. An impressive résumé includes work with M-Base collective saxophonist Steve Coleman's Five Elements; ...
Marbin: Marbin
by Raul d'Gama Rose
There is an almost Zen-like quality to Marbin, saxophonist Danny Markovitch and guitarist Dani Rabin's debut as a duo. However, the quiet nature and perfectly still life of the music belies the poignant emotional underbelly that simmers constantly throughout the set. That this emotion is deeply personal is evident from the meditative--almost ponderous--nature of much of ...
Amarelo Manga: Verso Preso
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The spectacularly revolutionary nature of the Tropicalismo Movement in Brazil and its undying quality is what makes this recording, Verso Preso by Amarelo Manga a truly significant one. The group pivots around the vocalastic emotion of Lilian Raquel and the music of Cláudio César Ribeiro, who just happens to be a fine guitarist, whether playing acoustic ...
The Story: The Story
by Terrell Kent Holmes
From its opening notes to the stop-on-a-dime ending, this debut album is an exhilarating shot in the solar plexus. A talented quintet serves up a diverse roster of tunes daring in both imagination and execution. Pianist John Escreet uses his repeated eight-note figure in the song “Misconception of Life and Death" as a ...
Tineke Postma: The Traveller
by David Adler
On Dutchwoman Tineke Postma's fourth outing, The Traveller, the young saxophonist leads a top-tier American lineup of Geri Allen (piano), Scott Colley (bass) and Terri Lyne Carrington (drums). Far from being overwhelmed, Postma holds her ground and even challenges the band with a set of strong original material, plus “Adagio 13," an adaptation of a string ...

Norm Stockton: Tea in The Typhoon
by C. Michael Bailey
West Coast freelance bassist Norm Stockton describes his instrumental music as, “contemporary jazz, but with wide influences including funk, fusion, rock, West African, and even a bit of classical." Indeed, not to mention an extroverted electric bass style that somehow retains the sheer technical power of Jaco Pastorius without the hubris. Stockton currently plays with the ...
