Quinsin Nachoff: Horizons Ensemble

Read "Horizons Ensemble" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza

by Jerry D'Souza

Saxophonist and composer Quinsin Nachoff continues his journey into chamber and contemporary music in his quest to extrapolate musical forms, as he leans into classical music and tempers it with his sense of jazz harmony.

Jason Domnarski Trio: Notes From Underground

Read "Notes From Underground" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

The jazz-inflected piano trio sports a new and playfully decadent guise, thanks to pianist, composer Jason Domnarski's crafty musical mindset. As a purveyor of New York City downtown-style fare, the artist skillfully hues these tuneful pieces with subliminal EFX amid antiquated keys and sharp production methodologies. With his second effort as a leader, the pianist conveys ...

Eli Yamin: You Can't Buy Swing

Read "You Can't Buy Swing" reviewed by George Kanzler

Libby York: Here with You

Read "Here with You" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Le cantanti sono sempre alla ribalta e spesso con dischi autoprodotti. E il pubblico sembra apprezzare quella che è ormai una tendenza del jazz odierno. Con dei sideman di tutto rispetto come il chitarrista Russell Malone, impegnato in tre brani in duo, od il cornettista Warren Vaché a farle da controvoce nei brani eseguiti in quintetto, ...

Paul Renz: Rebop

Read "Rebop" reviewed by John Barron

by John Barron

Minneapolis-based guitarist/educator Paul Renz gets a surprisingly fat, hollow-body tone out of his Fender Stratocaster. Although the instrument may seem like an unlikely choice for a guitarist performing mainstream jazz, Renz is able to coax a tone that is serene and warm. For Rebop the Strat-wielding Renz teams up with flautist Anders Bostrom, pianist Brian Ziemniak, ...

Charli Persip & Supersound: Intrinsic Evolution

Read "Intrinsic Evolution" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

He's performed with legendary bop pianist, composer, and arranger Tadd Dameron amid stints with trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and vocalist Billy Eckstein along with other jazz icons too numerous in scope to cite here. On the band's ...
