Kelley Suttenfield: Among The Stars
by Dan Bilawsky
Voice and nylon-string guitar. That's it. Nothing else to hear on this one, but nothing else is really needed. Vocalist Kelley Suttenfield's first album--Where Is Love (Rhombus Records, 2009)--was a well-crafted, full band affair that reimagined the works of everybody from Wes Montgomery ("West Coast Blues") to Caetano Veloso ("Coraçao Vagabundo") to The ...

Yet with ...
Jason Jackson: Inspiration
by Victor L. Schermer
Jason Jackson is an outstanding versatile and well-heeled New York-based trombonist. Somehow, you don't hear his name mentioned along with peers like Robin Eubanks, Steve Turre, Steve Davis, John Fedchock, and Conrad Herwig. Perhaps that's because Jackson plays first chair in big bands, studio work, and Broadway musicals. He doesn't often link up with small groups ...

by Alberto Bazzurro
Musicista da sempre di vasti appetiti, il siciliano Giorgio Occhipinti riunisce in questo notevole album, reperibile solo sulle varie piattaforme digitali (iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, ecc.), cinque pagine in cui il compositore prevale decisamente sul pianista (pur presente in tre di esse). Tripartita la struttura dell'opera, affidata nei due brani di più ampio respiro (poco meno di ...
