Nobuki Takamen: The Nobuki Takamen Trio
by Chris Mosey
Nobuki Takamen is, in all probability, the best jazz guitarist Japan has ever produced. Nowadays he lives in New Jersey but tours his homeland regularly. His playing is marked by good taste and sensitivity. He is a highly inventive guitarist, his runs and progressions never quite going where you expect them to go but always making ...
Jay Danley: Ethio Jazz Volume One
by Geno Thackara
The roots of Ethio-jazz may date back to the '50s, but Jay Danley and crew show that it's too fresh and funky to be chained to any era--the grooves are slick, the bass catchy, the brisk rhythms expertly woven like the strands of a rope, and the cast is clearly having a good time. The Canadian ...

As before, the ...
John Petrucelli: Presence
by Patrick Burnette
Tenor-saxophonist John Petrucelli's Presence is an ambitious sprawl of an album. Petrucelli features a jazz quintet (with piano, bass, guitar and drums) together with a string quartet, then gives his tunes titles like Field of Heaven," Garden of Angels," and Scallop Shell of Quiet," as if to warn the listener that the album carries more conceptual ...

Kyoko Kitamura's Tidepool Fauna: Protean Labyrinth
by John Sharpe
For her second leadership outing following Armadillo In Sunset Park (self produced, 2012), vocalist Kyoko Kitamura assembles a group which she calls Tidepool Fauna. And giving the group an identity seems entirely appropriate as what they create is very much an ensemble music. That's made all the easier by having such accomplished talents as saxophonist Ingrid ...
