Luke Hendon: Silk & Steel
by Budd Kopman
It is the easiest thing in the world to laud guitarist Luke Hendon's album Silk & Steel as something to be treasured by anyone who is remotely interested in the style of Django Reinhardt. It is important to note, however, that Hendon has done much more than play arpeggios as fast as humanly possible, ...
Andy Adamson Quartet: A Cry For Peace
by Geannine Reid
Fans of the Crusaders, Weather Report and other fusion acts of the 1970's and 1980's will certainly enjoy the sound of Andy Adamson and his quartet. His writing and keyboard work has heart and soul, and the group is a solid unit of excellent players. The quartet features Adamson's original compositions. The line-up on his latest ...

Donder: Still
by Dan McClenaghan
A tiny brick chapel in the gloom of dusk, double doors flung open revealing a bright interior of the edifice in the foreground of dark, dense foliage, on the cover of Still, the debut CD release of the Belgium-based piano trio, Donder. The imagery portrays to perfection the music of the group. Reflective and often minimalist, ...
Marco Sanguinetti: Cómo Desaparecer Completamente
by Karl Ackermann
The first time that Brad Mehldau covered Radiohead's Paranoid Android" on Largo (Warner Bros, 2002), the idea of jazz interpretations of alternative rock songs was a bit more of a novelty even if a concept that Mehldau had long embraced. That said, taking on a double-disc set dedicated to the output of one pop entity is ...
Wonderland Park: Just Get In
by Glenn Astarita
I recently reviewed L.A. based guitarist Allen Hinds' excellent Fly South for AllAboutJazz.com, and his concurrent release --a trio outing with the band Wonderland Park, Just Get In --provides a contrasting glimpse of the his robust artistic powers. Fans of Jeff Beck, Jimmy Herring and other guitar luminaries should check out Hinds who has ...
The Big Shake-Up: The Big Shake-Up
by Roger Farbey
On first hearing Rusell Bennett's opener, the boisterously funky Don't Block The Box," it's seems tempting to compare this tight brass heavy British octet with the considerably larger Loose Tubes ensemble. But the comparison is inaccurate for several reasons. The compositions (three are by Bennett) are relatively straightforward and certainly make less demands on an audience ...

Logan Metz: The Last Remaining Payphone in L.A.
by Paul Naser
There aren't many young players around actively channeling the powerful feel of New Orleans musicians like Doctor John, let alone doing it convincingly. This doesn't describe Chicago based musician/composer Logan Metz fairly, though. His danceable, joyful music has that same spirit, but it draws on too many influences to be so quickly categorized. Not too surprising, ...
Craig Hartley: Books On Tape, Vol. 2 - Standard Edition
by Dan Bilawsky
Pianist Craig Hartley's debut--Books On Tape, Vol. 1 (Self Produced, 2013)--focused on autobiographically-based originals, with only a single cover in the mix. Now, for the sequel, Hartley flips the script. Books On Tape, Vol. II-Standard Edition is all about the covers, with only one Hartley-penned number on the program. Everybody from Duke Ellington ...
