OKB Trio: The Ing...

Read "The Ing..." reviewed by Geannine Reid

by Geannine Reid

There is something intoxicating about the sound of a jazz trio. The comradery, the symbiosis of group interreacting and communicating on a higher level of language through music. Such is the case with the OKB Trio. Each player is an esteemed player in many outside projects under other leaders' names, but on this recording Brian Woodruff ...

Mah-Ze-Tar: Liquid Lotus

Read "Liquid Lotus" reviewed by Paul Naser

by Paul Naser

As technology makes it easy to share information and art between cultures that were once far removed from each other, “World" and multi-genre music that draws from many different traditions becomes more and more common.

Chris Monson: Seldom in the Well

Read "Seldom in the Well" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

Canadian guitarist Chris Monson's debut album, Seldom in the Well, is seldom strident or uninteresting, thanks in large measure to Monson's fluent compositions and arrangements, an able rhythm section, and a talented front line consisting of trumpeter Kevin Turcotte and tenor saxophonist Kelly Jefferson. On the other hand, the studio session seldom catches fire, as its ...

John Petrucelli: Presence

Read "Presence" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic

Call it what? Jazz-op? Jazzical? Silly names aside, histories of jazz and classical music are littered with failed attempts. Saxophonist John Petrucelli, an instructor at Carnegie Mellon University and student of jazz history, astronomy and philosophy, takes the lessons in and presents us with Presence.

Lonnie McFadden: Live at Green Lady Lounge

Read "Live at Green Lady Lounge" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki

by Chris M. Slawecki

In his own words, tap dancer, composer, trumpeter, vocalist, and bandleader Lonnie McFadden is, “an unapologetic Kansas City jazz guy." He may be a classic “song and dance man" type of entertainer, but Live at Green Lady Lounge demonstrates that he is also more than that. Lonnie McFadden was born and raised in Kansas ...

Read "Keine Angst vor... Schreefpunk" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala

by Giuseppe Segala

Chi ha frequentato l'Alto Adige Jazz Festival negli ultimi anni, ha avuto modo di incrociare spesso il trombettista e polistrumentista germanico Matthias Schriefl, sia con proprie formazioni e realizzazioni, che in qualità di ospite o in lavori a lui espressamente commissionati.

Charlie Rhyner: The First Second

Read "The First Second" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

An artist's intentions are often cemented within the first second of a journey, but a vision can only be developed and measured in the music's passing time. For Westchester-based guitarist Charlie Rhyner, those initial aims often present with a penetrative purpose and a strong understanding of the leverage that a groove, be it solid or morphing, ...
