Kurt Jarnberg: Down Memory Lane, Vols 3 and 4
by Jack Bowers
For some of us, Memory Lane is much longer and far more crowded than it once was. Be that as it may, any trip there remains a pleasurable experience, more so when the guide is Swedish trombonist / trumpeter Kurt Jarnberg who employs his quartet, quintet, big band and a host of talented guest artists to ...
Hughes Smith Quintet: Motion
by Mark Sullivan
Detroit's Hughes/Smith Quintet keeps the hard bop flame burning in this follow up to Ever Up & Onward (Self Produced, 2015). The album shares the same personnel--this has been a working band since 2013, and they sound like it--and the same positive energy. The program is all originals this time. Trumpeter Jimmy Smith's “The ...

William Flynn: Traveler
by Mark Sullivan
Wichita-based guitarist, composer and educator (Professor of Jazz Guitar at Wichita State University) William Flynn presents a brief program of evocative originals, accompanied by his quartet with pianist Addison Frei, double bassist Young Heo and drummer Matt Young.

Chris Platt: Sky Glow
by Friedrich Kunzmann
Toronto-based guitarist Chris Platt's debut outing stands out among releases by his contemporaries because, among other things, of its creation of singular nuances within the structural and sonic conventions of a classical jazz trio—rather than following the prevailing modern atmospheric-approach, which seems to be dominated by sound in place of composition. With the support of fellow ...
John Macleod: The Toronto Sound
by Jack Bowers
Yes, this is Canada's John MacLeod and the Rex Hotel Orchestra. And yes, this is the ensemble's third CD, The Toronto Sound. But close your eyes and listen carefully and it modulates into no less than an earnest albeit clandestine homage to Rob McConnell and the peerless Boss Brass. Is that a good thing? Beyond any ...
Mike Kennedy: Landfall
by Doug Collette
The release of guitarist Mike Kennedy's Landfall is most appropriately-timed for those about to enter the sweet seasons of spring and summer. It is the ideal soundtrack for lolling in the sun. With a quartet moving right in time with him, Kennedy utilizes electric and acoustic guitars, along with judiciously placed pedal steel, to ...
