The Bob Gallo Quintet: Wake Up Call

Read "Wake Up Call" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone

by Michael P. Gladstone
January 4, 2007

Here's another quicksilver jazz guitarist with whom I've been unfamiliar.

Miles Okazaki: Mirror

by John Kelman
December 31, 2006

Sometimes artists' most obvious credentials say little about who they really are. Guitarist Miles Okazaki has been singer Jane Monheit's guitarist since 2002, but anyone who expects Mirror to reflect a similarly standards-heavy inclination will be seriously surprised. Whether or not in a good way depends on one's own predilections, but for those wanting greater breadth ...
