Evidence: The Message

Read "The Message" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone

by Michael P. Gladstone

Here is a well deserving jazz combo that could use some publicity beyond their Grand Rapids, Michigan base. Headed by multi-reed player Michael S. Doyle, this sextet offers a group of durable bebop compositions, all originals, which could stand up with the best of them. It would be pointless to indicate the specific quality ...

Josh Myers: Walls Red

Read "Walls Red" reviewed by Mark F. Turner

by Mark F. Turner

The debut recording, Walls Red, by Brooklyn bassist Josh Myers, affirms that while modern jazz covers a wide spectrum of influences, it's always a positive when young artists develop their own ideas. Like many striving in this challenging and diverse music environment, Myers' playing is panoptic: dabbling in nearly a dozen projects--mainstream, experimental and even Klezmer-rock, ...

Jack Wright/John M. Bennett/Ben Bennett: Rotty What

Read "Rotty What" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Note to my editor: do not attempt a spell check of this review, as much of the language presented on Rotty What won't be found in any modern language dictionaries. That's the ticket here: full frontal nudity. Well, substitute spontaneous combustion for the naked parts, and you have an idea what you are in for when ...

Tangria Jazz Group: Tangria Jazz Group

Read "Tangria Jazz Group" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Tangria Jazz Group is what happens when the academy gets bored in the classroom and decides to go blow in the studio. The trio's first recording, Songs From Lady Bird was inspired by drummer/percussionist/physical chemist Sheryl Mebane's jazz novel Lady Bird (Pearl Street, 2003). Mebane's Eleven: Tunes for Two (Blastfamous, 2007) featured an abundance of original ...

Klangkameratane: Klangkameratane

Read "Klangkameratane" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni

by Eyal Hareuveni

The reverberation and sound camaraderie of the young Norwegian trio Klangkameratane (or even better in its onomatopoeic pronunciation, the klang comrades) was founded in 2006, “against its members' will," as its MySpace page declares. All three members of the trio are twenty-five years old, and studied jazz together in Bergen. Guitarist Even Helte Hermansen is a ...
