The Chris Saunders Band: Dancing With The Widow St. James

Read "Dancing With The Widow St. James" reviewed by Richard J Salvucci

by Richard J Salvucci

Was there a time in your life when you took off for nowhere in particular, maybe a mild summer's night, rolled down the windows, and just grooved? Chances are you had some primitive form of sound technology that filled a well-worn vehicle with music that just suggested that life was a good thing? Ok, so perhaps ...

Sila Shaman: They Come Out At Night

Read "They Come Out At Night" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Drummer Dave Storrs' Sound Shack—a garage beside his Corvallis, Oregon house, converted into a recording studio—has been open for business for more than two decades. Recordings go down when the mood strikes. The mood strikes often. There must be thousands of hours of unreleased stuff stocked away. So pianist Sila Shaman--who has participated productively in Sound ...

Fryderyk HD: Sounds Good

Read "Sounds Good" reviewed by Geno Thackara

by Geno Thackara

Fryderyk HD clearly knows his stuff in the jazz world and, just as clearly, considers it a jumping-off point more than a home niche. His first outing has all the marks of a fresh mind whirling with a myriad of ideas, and ready to try them all on for size. Thankfully, it is also the kind ...

Marques Carroll: The Ancestors' Call

Read "The Ancestors' Call" reviewed by Jerome Wilson

by Jerome Wilson

This is the debut album from Chicago-based trumpeter Marques Carroll and he uses it to address very specific concerns—the ongoing struggle for identity and freedom that African-Americans have been going through in the USA for centuries. He does this in compositions that represent a dialogue between generations, music that reaches back to the spiritual jazz of ...

Space Whale Orchestra: Born into Beauty

Read "Born into Beauty" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

by Hrayr Attarian

The Philadelphia based Space Whale Orchestra is a collaborative improvisational quartet that has been successfully forging a singular style. Led by keyboardist Erica Corbo, the group's Born Into Beauty goes beyond conceptual cohesiveness—it is, in fact, a single, spontaneously created, 17-part suite. The band members perform this stimulating, genre defying work with sensitivity and ...

Judson Green: Gratitude

Read "Gratitude" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

It's fairly safe to say that Gratitude, recorded in 2017, is pianist Judson Green's last album, as he died in August 2020 at age sixty-eight. It's even safer to say that Green, who released half a dozen recordings under his own name, played jazz piano solely for love of the music, as he didn't need to ...
