Sebastien Paindestre Trio: Parcours
by John Barron
Parcours finds French pianist Sebastien Paindestre leading a trio with longtime collaborators Antoine Paganotti (drums) and Jean-Claude Oleksiak (bass). The disc highlights the collaborative spirit of the ensemble, navigating through Paindestre's harmonically lush compositions.

Sebastien Paindestre Trio: Parcours
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Sebastien Paindestre can communicate with unbridled impressionism and also swing and bop like mad. These are what make this trio record, Parcours, such a memorable experience.

Greg Chako: Everybody's Got A Name
by Michael P. Gladstone

Paint A Picture, Tell A Story (CPB, 2007) even made use of marquee names Don Byron and Delfeayo Marsalis. It remains a mystery why he hasn't achieved wider acclaim and better gigs. Perhaps the use of a creative album ...

Leigh Barker Quintet: Off to Moruya
by Bridget A. Arnwine
On the subject of music, bassist Charles Mingus was once quoted as saying, “You don't listen to one instrument; you listen to the music."

Soren Kjaergaard: Optics
by Francis Lo Kee
The title track of Optics provides a good overview to this beautiful and fascinating recording. While some young musicians seek to capture their audience with a fusillade of notes, pianist Sïren Kjaergaard's trio proceeds with the flowing confidence of a Zen master. That's not to say that Optics doesn't have its intense, passionate or loud moments, ...
