Blues Men – Johnny Mastro, Ray Fuller, Lew Jetton, Billy T, Chris Antonik
by C. Michael Bailey
According to Digital Music News, as of 2015, Rhythm & Blues / Hip Hop made up 22% of the recording market (Jazz and Classical make up but 2% each, go figure). I am pretty sure that straight blues is simply folded into the R&B category since I can find no mention of blues alone in my ...
Jeff Weinmann: Alma Matters
by Dan Bilawsky
Soul matters, educational foundations matter, inclusive music scenes matter, and this album--conceptually invested in all of those beliefs--most certainly matters. With Alma Matters, multi-instrumentalist Jeff Weinmann reunites with some of his preferred collaborators from years past and times present, honoring the rich history of the Berkeley scene that's nourished and inspired him for decades on end. ...

Mark Whitfield: Grace
by Troy Dostert
Since his first album as a leader in 1990, guitarist Mark Whitfield has been simultaneously pulled in two directions. Early on, many dubbed him the heir-apparent to George Benson, and on his first several records he offered plenty of evidence to support this assessment with his smooth, laid-back sound and the pop/R&B influences that he readily ...

Patrice Williamson + Jon Wheatley: Comes Love - A Tribute To Ella Fitzgerald And Joe Pass
by Dan Bilawsky
Centennial celebrations abound in 2017. In this year of years we fête many jazz greats delivered unto us one century ago--Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, Mongo Santamaria, Thelonious Monk, and Tadd Dameron, to cite just a handful. That list of giants forever changed the face of this music, but it's a list that's noticeably incomplete without the ...
Rakkatak: Small Pieces
by James Nadal
The Indian sitar literally burst upon the Western popular music scene when George Harrison, of The Beatles, first played it on “Norwegian Wood, (This Bird Has Flown)" in 1965. This recording brought about an unprecedented interest in Indian music and musicians, as well as the accompanying culture and religion, which Harrison openly embraced. So, it was ...
Sam Friend: Twin
by Fiona Ord-Shrimpton
It's probably not best practice to liken anyone to anyone, yet we do it all the time, take comfort in the left hand column on CD Baby, or the recommends on iTunes or Amazon. Forgive this Captain Obvious then, when Sam Friend's album Twin gets likened to James Taylor and his son, Ben Taylor here, so ...
The University of Toronto 12tet: Trillium Falls
by Jack Bowers
This is an altogether sunny and pleasing session by the splendid University of Toronto 12tet, which sounds at times like a full-fledged big band, at others like a leaner and more even-tempered chamber jazz group. The songs and arrangements, most by members of the ensemble (including a couple by director Terry Promane), are lush and lyrical, ...
