Lee Heerspink: Monsters' Impromptu

Read "Monsters' Impromptu" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

There is ample energy and enthusiasm on Michigan-based guitarist Lee Heerspink's debut recording, Monsters' Impromptu, which consists of seven of the leader's funk/fusion-based compositions performed by an admirable quintet whose members are clearly in sync with Heerspink's assertive point of view, and lend him their unflagging support. Six of the seven compositions are ...

Adam Nolan: Prim and Primal

Read "Prim and Primal" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic

Whether stalking the perimeters or cutting to the bone, Irish alto saxophonist Adam Nolan's full throated assault on alternative facts takes you by storm on his fourth (and hopefully breakthrough) disc, Prim and Primal. Like Ornette Coleman, like Anthony Braxton, Nolan and his fellow non-shy improvisors—bassist Derek Whyte and drummer Dominic Mullan—keep the music ...

Brandon Goldberg: In Good Time

Read "In Good Time" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic

Pianist Brandon Goldberg may not have the seasoned years behind him yet, (In Good Time finds him brewing with ideas most fifteen-year-olds never tackle) but it is no more a beloved veteran than the late Ralph Peterson who, via a wisely archived voice mail, urges the young man “What's up Brandon, gimme a shout man we ...

Chad Lefkowitz-Brown and the Global Big Band: Open World

Read "Open World" reviewed by Jack Bowers

There are times, thanks to the indestructible human spirit, when even the most horrendous scourge--say, a global pandemic that has claimed millions of lives in countries around the world--can lead to the occasional silver lining, a small yet persistent light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Case in point: Open World, a superlative new ...

Steve Million featuring Sarah Marie Young: Jazz Words

Read "Jazz Words" reviewed by Richard J Salvucci

by Richard J Salvucci

Evocative. Soulful. Regretful. Plaintive. But in no sense downbeat. Oddly edifying, joyful in places. Steve Million's compositions and Sarah Marie Young's voice were plainly intended to blend. And they do so in an emotionally stirring landscape of the heart which is powerfully affecting. You find yourself conjuring up quiet journeys, emotional and otherwise, from the past. ...

3x3: Piano Trios: October 2021

Read "3x3: Piano Trios: October 2021" reviewed by Geno Thackara

by Geno Thackara

It's a pretty worldly mix of trios here. While the instrumental setup is familiar as ever, these are players always happy to take it out of jazz land and wander anywhere else they wish. Jim Funnell's Word Out! Live in Japan Self Produced 2021 While Jim Funnell isn't notably ...
