Aram Bajakian: Music Inspired By the Color Of Pomegranates
by Dan McClenaghan
Guitarist Aram Bajakian found a fitting concept to tie together his creative ideas and the extended techniques he's been exploring: An obscure Russian movie about the 18th century Armenian poet, Sayat Nova. The resulting album, Music Inspired by The Color of Pomegranates, is pensive, layered, brilliantly virtuosic music, sometimes minimalist, sometimes orchestral, all of it created ...
Mike Rud: Miniatures
by Dan Bilawsky

Kazuki Yamanaka: Songs Unconscious-minded
by Budd Kopman
Alto and soprano saxophonist Kazuki Yamanaka has brought together an impressive array of talent to join him in producing Songs Unconscious-minded. The album's title is a reference to how the seven original tunes bubbled up from Yamanaka's unconscious and presented themselves. The supporting personnel is grouped differently on the various tracks: pianist Fabian Almazan, ...
Kama Ruby: Rock Dreams in Jazz
by C. Michael Bailey
Vocalist Kama Ruby's sophomore effort Rock Dreams in Jazz is closeted in the respect that it contains only two rock songs among some sturdy jazz standards. The Eagles' “Hotel California" and Fleetwood Mac's “Rhiannon/Sister of the Moon" represent the promise of a set of “new" standards among the old. As provocative as they are, these newer ...
