Presenting his fifth album as leader, Puerto Rican jazz guitarist Richard Peña unveils The Latin Side of Jazz Guitar, continuing his personal exploration of Afro-Caribbean rhythms, leading a quintet of stellar musicians documenting an eight-piece swinging set of light Latin-styled sounds.

Fini Bearman: Last Night of the World
by Neil Duggan
As professor of Jazz Voice and Songwriting at London's Guildhall School, Fini Bearman naturally incorporates songwriting exercises into her teaching. Over time, some of the songs born from these sessions evolved into fully realised pieces, several of which now appear on her fifth album, Last Night of The World. Bearman brings an impressive jazz ...
Barbara Bruckmüller Jazz Orchestra, feat. Aruán Ortiz: A Chain of Moments
by Artur Moral
Julio Cortázar's Rayuela (1963), Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves (2000) and Chris Ware's Building Stories (2012) are novels--both written and graphic--that stand out, not just for their literary merit, but also for the various ways readers can engage with them. A similar phenomenon occurs on the listening level with A Chain Of Moments: Suite in ...
Organ Freeman: Busywork
by Ian Patterson
Not to be confused with the Los Angles-based organ trio of the same name--though it is hard to see how confusion will not reign--this Organ Freeman hails from Dublin, Ireland, where guitarist/vocalist Charlie Moon, organist Darragh Hennessy and drummer Dominic Mullan have held a Sunday residency at The Big Romance since 2018. For its debut album, ...
Three Short Trips with Torben Westergaard
by Geno Thackara
Insert cliche here about how good things can come in small packages. While the world continues insistently churning with digital chatter and ADHD, Torben Westergaard has been leaning toward the simple and concise with a string of snack-sized (yet wildly eclectic) EPs. If you know the bassist's history or personality, though, you can guess that this ...
Gabriela Machado: Equilibrando no Acupe
by Katchie Cartwright
Choro's popularity is on the rise. In the US, camps like Brazil Camp, Choro Northwest (aka Centrum Choro Workshop), Choro Camp New England and programs like Antonio Adolfo's Brazilian Music Workshop have attracted top artist-teachers, and eager students have brought the genre back to their local communities. Equilibrando no Acupe, a program of original choro compositions, ...
Steve Knight: For Years Gone
by Kyle Simpler
Chicago-based jazz man Steve Knight started playing guitar when he was 12 years old, and as he puts it, traded his skateboard for an inexpensive guitar, which “was quite righteous-sounding playing 'Smoke on the Water.'" He has come a long way since then, and For Years Gone offers plenty of evidence to prove this. ...
Diego Figueiredo: I Love Samba
by Jack Bowers
One upside to Brazilian-born guitarist Diego Figueiredo's latest album, I Love Samba, is that the title says it all. In case you are unfamiliar with Figueiredo, you should know that he not only loves samba, he also plays samba--quite well--and has entertained audiences in more than sixty countries around the world doing exactly that. And while ...
Various Artists: Scarborough Jazz Festival Present: 2024 Live Festival Compilation
by Neil Duggan
In the late 1960s, record labels introduced inexpensive compilation albums that typically focused on specific genres. These collections strategically paired established artists with emerging talents. By doing so, they offered listeners an accessible entry point to discover multiple artists within a particular scene--essentially functioning as an early form of playlist. While such musical curation now primarily ...
