Rose Colella: Cocktail
by C. Michael Bailey
Vocalist Rose Colella is from Chicago. And so is vocalist Paul Marinaro ( Without a Song (Self Produced, 2013)). It is no coincidence. Colella and Marinaro duet on the medley “Would You Like to Take a Walk--I get Ideas" on her present Cocktails. They shared a holiday duet on a steamy and good-natured “Baby, It's Cold ...

by Eyal Hareuveni
Abra is an Israeli improvising vocal ensemble featuring four musicians--Noa Haran, Faye Shapiro, Chanan Ben Simon and Yifat Ziv, taking its name from the Aramaic incantation Abra Ka Dabra (I shall create what i speak).

Birmingham Jazz Orchestra: Burns
by Bruce Lindsay
The Birmingham Jazz Orchestra--that's Birmingham, England--formed in the fall of 2014, just a few months before recording Burns, its debut album of tunes written by director/conductor Sean Gibbs. The maturity of the writing and playing, the strength of the sections and the verve of the solos belies the inexperience of the ensemble--this is a strong first ...
Emily Francis Trio: The Absent
by Roger Farbey
The funky “Hops 'n' Scotch" kicks off this lively set, with keyboardist Francis employing Fender Rhodes and synths in Herbie Hancock mode. Languid acoustic piano opens “Winnebago" which soon transmutes into an up-tempo trio number with a flavour of Chick Corea's Iberian influence clearly detectable. The more contemplative “Redshift" benefits from Francis' ability to transition seamlessly ...
MINUA: In Passing
by Mark Sullivan
There can't be many trios made up of bass clarinet and two guitars; in fact, I can't think of another one. MINUA, a German/Icelandic trio based in Basel, Switzerland, makes it sound like the most natural combination in the world. The trio members met during their studies at the Jazzschool in Basel. They quickly felt a ...
Kevin Bachelder and Jason Lee Bruns: Cherry Avenue
by Geannine Reid
Vocalist Kevin Bachelder and drummer Jason Lee Bruns have team up to release an enjoyable collection of tunes entitled, Cherry Avenue. Bachelder spent his early years playing the trumpet, but soon realized that singing came naturally to him as well. It wasn't until college that he decided to focus solely on his voice as a primary ...
Sasha Masakowski & the Sidewalk Strutters: Old Green River
by C. Michael Bailey
There is a rare musical triple point where talent, vision, and a wicked sense-of-humor meet. Damn few artists ever make it there. I believe that it must be the address of one Sasha Hildegard Masakowski. NOLA's own has recently relocated to the cultural hub of the universe, New York City, but not before navigating the choppy ...
Billabong Island Sound: Spring Baby
by C. Michael Bailey
There exists music that is perfect for ambient listening (read that: “while in an altered state"). My favorite for many years has been UB40's debut Signing Off (Graduate Records, 1980). The groove on this recording is so highly refined and organically performed that its vibe just sinks into you as a listener, almost by osmosis. I ...
