Paul Cosentino's Boilermaker Jazz Band: Everything is Jumpin'
by Jack Bowers
An Artie Shaw songbook with “Grabtown Grapple" and “Jumping on the Merry Go Round" but without “Begin the Beguine" or “Stardust?" Well, anything is possible.

Pat Bianchi: Confluence
by Pierre Giroux

With Confluence, he shows that the organ trio, when in skilled hands, remains one of the most energetic formats in jazz. Joined by saxophonist Troy Roberts and drummer Colin Stranahan, Bianchi delivers a seven-track session that feels more like a late-night ...

Dave Wilson: When Even Goes East
by Pierre Giroux
There is a long and respected tradition in jazz of taking familiar popular songs and reimagining them in new ways. It involves uncovering fresh rhythmic vitality, harmonic subtleties, and emotional depth within melodies that listeners think they already know. Multi-instrumentalist Dave Wilson follows this tradition with conviction on When Even Goes East, an album that blends ...
Dave Schumacher & Cubeye: Agua con Gas
by Jack Bowers
As the name Agua Con Gas suggests, Chicago-born, New York-based baritone saxophonist Dave Schumacher and his Cubeye ensemble favor jazz with an unmistakable Latin accent. Schumacher's fourth album with the ensemble leans south of the border all the way, harbored in a sharp and buoyant rhythmic groove that suits them like the proverbial glove.
