Joel A. Martin: Jazzical Menken
by Nicholas F. Mondello
On any given Sunday especially if the weather is good, if one travels to Long Island's North Shore “Gold Coast" you will occasionally see beautiful, hand-detailed Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, Bentleys or other luxury-end autos tooling about. In more than one conceptual way, Jazzical Menken is tantamount to experiencing this metallic magnificence. The primary difference, thankfully, is that ...
Mika Stoltzman: If You Believe
by Dan Bilawsky
In jazz, the marimba tends to be dwarfed by its sustain-friendly metallic cousin, the vibraphone.

Chris Biesterfeldt: Urban Mandolin
by Jack Bowers
A mandolin player opening his first album as leader with Dizzy Gillespie's mercurial “Bebop"? Wow! That takes a lot of (fill in the blank). But Chris Biesterfeldt, best known as a guitarist, and for Broadway shows at that, not only sails through those tricky changes but handily nails everything else on this impressive trio album whose ...
Ode To Omni: October's Fire
by Hrayr Attarian
The Philadelphia based collective, Ode to Omni's debut album October Fire is heavily influenced by the 1970s spiritual jazz recordings, particularly those on the legendary now sadly defunct label, Strata East.
