Nelson Montana: Left Turn at Tradition

Read "Left Turn at Tradition" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

As a showcase for the New York-based multi-instrumentalist Nelson Montana, Left Turn at Tradition works quite well. As a jazz album, rather less so. Montana, who plays bass, guitar, drums, piano and midi keyboards, uses all manner of special effects (and special guests) to achieve his musical purpose. And, as icing on the inclusive cake, he ...

by Troy Dostert

Providing further evidence of the capaciousness of the Toronto jazz scene, Queen Kong is a neo-klezmer outfit that brings smart musicianship and some crafty grooves to its debut, Fray.

Jimmy Branly: The Meeting

Read "The Meeting" reviewed by Richard J Salvucci

by Richard J Salvucci

There are decades when nothing happens, said Lenin, and weeks when decades happen. There have been far too many weeks in the three years since 2019 when decades went by. Looking for stability in the midst of madness may be a fool's errand, but it is for just such instances that recordings like The Meeting are ...

Read "People" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

The accent is on straight-ahead contemporary jazz, exemplified by seven standards from the ...

George Crotty: Chronotope

Read "Chronotope" reviewed by Anya Wassenberg

On Chronotope, a cross-cultural mix of South American, Arabic, Indian, and contemporary jazz idioms amount to a stream of genre-blurring invention.On the opening tune, “Island Incidental," the sounds of water mix with acoustic guitar-like accompaniment, with results that are atmospheric as ...

Read "The Meeting" reviewed by Pierre Giroux

by Pierre Giroux

Patience is a commodity which musicians generally have in an unlimited supply because the path from being an unknown musician to a known musician is long and filled with twists and turns, with no guarantee of arriving at a predicted destination. Drummer Jimmy Branly began that journey in his native Cuba and, along the way, recorded ...
