Flametet: A General History of Flame

Read "A General History of Flame" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala

by Giuseppe Segala

Sotto il grazioso appellativo di Flametet, per un album dal titolo altrettanto intrigante, sono riuniti sei musicisti guidati dal bassista Kit Demos, tra i quali l'unico nome che ci era conosciuto (e apprezzato) è quello del pianista Pandelis Karayorgis, qui impegnato in qualità di ospite del quintetto, solo alle tastiere Wurlitzer. L'organico si muove soprattutto come ...

Enoch Lee: Finish Line

Read "Finish Line" reviewed by Mark F. Turner

by Mark F. Turner

It is one thing for an aspiring musician to debut his album with talented veterans but quite another for him to create such an accomplished work as found in New York pianist/composer Enoch Lee's Finish Line. It breathes originality and purpose not only for the contributions from stalwarts that include saxophonist David Binney and bassist Drew ...

Nancy Kelly: B That Way

Read "B That Way" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Vocalist Nancy Kelly is one of those artists one can always count on for producing muscular and assertive jazz. On B That Way, Kelly is supported by an organ-guitar trio featuring tenor saxophone. Such a format affords an expanse of sound from the intimacy of a piano trio to the full-throated roar of a big band. ...

Rachel Therrien: Home Inspiration

Read "Home Inspiration" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

The big challenge for the young musician is developing a distinctive voice. This goes not just for the instrumental side of the equation, but maybe even more so in the band they put together. Competence and even virtuosic flare are fairly common, but without the voice, the sound can come out bland, pasteurized. Trumpeter ...

Linda Cole and Joshua Bowlus: What a Wonderful World

Read "What a Wonderful World" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Yes...that Cole Family. The same talent pool that gave us Nat King Cole and Freddy Cole has also given us Linda Cole (a daughter of the brothers Cole's cousin). Linda Cole teams with pianist/arranger Joshua Bowlus and his quartet for a breezy stroll through 13 pieces from the Cole Family songbook and beyond. Globally, Bowlus supplies ...

Chris Weller's Hanging Hearts

Read "Chris Weller's Hanging Hearts" reviewed by Phil Barnes

by Phil Barnes

For a saxophonist the holy grail is the overall sound or tone, that feeling of concise wordless communication that can compress a lifetime into a solo or even a measure. Of course technique is important but it plays a supporting role and can only improve incrementally on what is there naturally. When asked about players that ...

George Taylor: Rain or Shine

Read "Rain or Shine" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Observation One. George Taylor looks like the cross between a small-town pharmacist and a junior account. Observation Two. Taylor is touted as a blues musician who toured the Mississippi River Delta in search of that singular blues inspiration. It is funny that his resulting recording Rain or Shine should sound as if born of Jimmie Rodgers ...

Mountain Sprout: Long Time Comin’

Read "Long Time Comin’" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Eureka Springs, Arkansas is an idyllic place located in Carroll County in the northwest corner of the state, sitting in the edge of the Ozark Mountains proper. It is an amazing island of hippie love and egalitarian acceptance stuck, like a sore toe in the middle of an evangelical and white supremacist desert where poisonous snakes ...
