Janice Friedman: Swingin' For The Ride
by Michael P. Gladstone
Janice Friedman has brought her solid style of piano playing to several albums, including vocalist Judi Silvano's Women's Work: Live at Sweet Rhythm (JSL, 2007). Word is that Friedman's husband, David Prager, is the one who has encouraged her piano playing and especially her efforts at vocalizing. So, we have Prager to thank for ...

Joel Moore Quartet: Joel Moore Quartet
by Hrayr Attarian
Certain musical works are meant to be thought-provoking and emotionally moving--even disturbing; others are meant to be soothing and ear pleasing. Joel Moore Quartet's eponymous CD is of the latter kind. The music is a cross between later day soul-jazz and contemporary smooth sounds, with laidback tunes where the improvisation rarely ventures far from the melody, ...

Joe Byrd / Howard Alden: Duets

Solidi studi accademici, diploma al conservatorio in giovane età, le sirene irresistibili della musica afroamericana, i corsi di perfezionamento con alcuni dei maggiori jazzisti italiani e stranieri, l'apparizione in festival e rassegne, l'esperienza didattica. E poi? E poi, il primo viaggio a New York, sei mesi per prendere contatto con la Grande Mela fino a trasferirvisi ...
Twangorama: Twangorama
by Craig M. Cortello
Somewhere on the periphery where progressive rock meets fusion comes this CD that merges the talents of three of the most prolific and versatile guitarists of the New Orleans music scene. It is perhaps a meeting of the minds, a display of mutual respect for four decades of fretboard wizardry, and a callout to the world ...
Steve Evans Quartet: 2 Sets
by J Hunter
According to the liner notes for 2 Sets, the Steve Evans Quartet attempted a live recording in 2005, but the effort was marred by “technical difficulties ; that could mean anything from a persistently-buzzing amplifier to some guy near the stage who wouldn't stop talking on his cell phone. Rather than try to tape another gig ...
