Mercedes Nicole: People Are Talking
by C. Michael Bailey
The difference between Mercedes Nicole's Beautiful Alignment (Self Produced, 2013) and People Are Talking is artistic growth and confidence. Beautiful Alignment was fueled by a youthful ambition and precocious talent. Nicole's evolution from that point manifests squarely in the refining fire of performance and practice, both which enhance her existing gift. People Are Talking reveals mature, ...
Amy Black: The Muscle Shoals Sessions
by James Nadal
Yes, you can go home again. That place where two generations before you have deep roots, and nostalgia floods the emotions. Vocalist Amy Black is from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, so if anyone has the birthright to walk into legendary Fame Studios to record an album, it's her. On The Muscle Shoals Sessions, she booked the studio, ...
Danielle Reich: While We Were Dancing
by C. Michael Bailey
The Austin Texas satellite of the Houston Jazz Mafia, vocalist Danielle Reich, follows her debut recording This Year's Kisses (Self Produced, 2011) with a stripped-down recital right out of the heart of the Great American Songbook.

Angelo Santelli: Angelo Santelli
by C. Michael Bailey
Floridian Angelo Santelli's debut eponymous recording is a richly mixed bag. An accomplished slide guitarist with associations within the Allman Brothers Band family, Santelli might be taken for granted as a jam-band blues knock off. This is before a first listen something else altogether. On nine disparate original compositions, Santelli reveals a much broader and deeper ...

by Edward Blanco

This is not your typical straight-ahead material having discernable melodies and rhythms of the bebop or other traditional jazz nature. Costa designs compositions that ...
Interactivo: Que Lindo Es El Amor
by James Nadal
With all the hoopla surrounding the lifting of the ridiculous Cuban embargo, some might think that the Cuban people, especially musicians, are sitting around waiting for this to happen.

Reggie Quinerly: Invictus
by Hrayr Attarian
Drummer Reggie Quinelry's second release as a leader Invictus is a collection of short, tightly woven and compelling pieces that Quinerly and his quintet interpret with understated fervor and sublime elegance. Quinerly showcases his compositional and leadership skills while shunning the spotlight himself. He allows his sidemen ample room for soloing as he directs the intricacies ...
Inventionis Mater: Kong's Revenge
by Mario Calvitti
La musica di Frank Zappa, a oltre vent'anni dalla sua scomparsa, continua a fornire uno stimolo importante a artisti di varia estrazione, e sempre più spesso fa capolino nel repertorio di musicisti di formazione classica. Il clarinettista Pierpaolo Romani e il chitarrista Andrea Pennati sono appunto due giovani toscani maturati negli ambienti accademici, che hanno recentemente ...
