Nobuki Takamen: The Nobuki Takamen Trio
by Friedrich Kunzmann
On his seventh release as a leader, New York-based fret-wizard Nobuki Takamen relies on his fellow trio mates, bassist Toshiyuki Tanahashi and drummer Naoki Akiwa, to present a set of exclusively original material. On The Nobuki Takamen Trio, he not only substantiates his reputation as a natural-born bop guitarist, but also proves he is a gifted ...
Josh Pollock: Threnodius Daevidus - in honour of Mr Allen
by Anthony Shaw
It can't be a coincidence that some of the best concerts and some of the most rewarding first-time-listen albums will come about when there has been absolutely no anticipation of the experience to come. So the advice is to put aside this text and put in a search at Bandcamp, or better still trot down to ...
Tone Masseve: Amp L'étude
by Glenn Astarita
This is a posthumous release by guitarist Tone Masseve, whose vision led him to reformulate celebrated classical pieces by Chopin, Bach and others into the rock idiom. At the time, Masseve said, “In my childhood I was exposed to many different musical styles and genres. Although I am really a blues player, I also love the ...
Aguankó: Pattern Recognition
by Mark Sullivan
If the music of Aguankó is any indication, Latin jazz is in good shape in Southeastern Michigan. Conguero/composer Alberto Nacif leads a crack band, most of them from the metro Detroit area. Their previous album, Latin Jazz Christmas in Havana (Self Produced, 2015), presented creative arrangements of a variety of holiday standards, a delightful standout in ...
Elizabeth Woodbury Kasius & Heard: Flyway
by Geannine Reid
Elizabeth Woodbury Kasius burst onto the scene, or so it seemed, with Karibu (Self Produced, 2010) when, in fact, it was the leader's sophomore outing. Her debut, Water Music (Self Produced), was released in 2008 but seemed to fall into obscurity. The group Heard, who has shared the bill with Kasius on each release, has continued ...
Greg Diaz & The Art of Imagination Jazz Orchestra: Begin the Agora
by Jack Bowers
At a time when many contemporary big bands are eager to brush aside the past and “break new ground," it's always a pleasure to welcome an ensemble that honors and espouses jazz tradition with no appreciable loss of savoir-faire or, well, imagination. Begin the Agora, the debut recording by saxophonist Greg Diaz's Florida-based Art of Imagination ...

Q Morrow: There Are Stars In Brooklyn
by James Fleming
Like America, the ideas are good. And just like the USA, they are lost in translation, from concept to being. Q Morrow's There Are Stars In Brooklyn combines jazz with Brazilian, Afro-Cuban and Carnatic music. It is the product of a curious mind and an interconnected world, specifically of the United States, where different peoples, cultures, ...
Daan Kleijn: Passages
by Don Phipps
On his album Passages, Netherlands guitarist Daan Kleijn and his cohorts -Tobia Nijboer on bass and Joost Van Schaik on drums -provide a solid and tasteful mix of originals and standards. The entire affair is sunny and impressionistic. Like a day at the park, the musical settings move from tree-lined paths and forest streams to walkways ...
Jay Danley: Ethio Jazz Volume One
by Anya Wassenberg
Complex rhythms and relentless grooves are what set music from the so-called golden era of Ethiopian jazz apart, and it's that essential and even hypnotic energy that guitarist and composer Jay Danley captures in Ethio Jazz Volume One. Arguably the most important--certainly the most recognizable--element of classic Ethiopian jazz is its bass-heavy groove patterns. ...
