Eric Frazier: That Place
by Richard J Salvucci
Eric Frazier has been at it a long time, the better part of a quarter century. He started out as a public school teacher and administrator in New York City, and became a conga drummer out of his interest in African music. He has, as the saying goes, been around, played at venues like The Knitting ...
John Ambrosini: Songs for You
by Richard J Salvucci
John Ambrosini is a New York City-based pianist, composer and arranger. He has a number of recordings to his credit and this one, strictly speaking, is a bit of a departure. Ambrosini's band is populated by a number of well-known jazz professionals in and around the city. So the music swings and the solos--including piano--are all ...
Dominik Schürmann: Forever
by Richard J Salvucci
Dominik Schürmann is a Swiss double bassist from Basle. At this point in his career, in 2024, he must surely be regarded as one of the best jazz players in Europe, a cautious assessment. On this recording, he is joined by pianist Tilman Günther and drummer Samuel Dühsler and the effect, overall, is a bit magical. ...
Horn Engine: Not Like This
by Nicholas F. Mondello

Adam Hersh: Tornado Watch
by Nicholas F. Mondello
Tornado Watch is a uniquely attractive album from pianist Adam Hersh and his terrific sidemen. It offers ten tracks of intelligent, intensely-performed music. All the songs here are Hersh originals (save one) and each was recorded live in Los Angeles at the “Sam First" jazz club. “Woe V Shade," obviously a politically directed ...
Chad Edwards: Wyoming Roads
by Nicholas F. Mondello
In his performing career, pianist Chad Edwards has probably heard more wisecracks and quips about his actually being a retired rocket scientist than there are stars in the Cosmos. However, rest assured--as he has done in his parallel and now formal career, and is presented in Wyoming Roads--his keyboard and compositional talents certainly stand on their ...
Norbert Stein: Pata Kandinsky
by Glenn Astarita
Norbert Stein, a luminary of the European jazz scene, is celebrated for his ingenious compositions and distinctive approach to the genre. Central to Stein's musical philosophy is his “Pata" ideology, which draws from the surreal and abstract, blending whimsical, unorthodox elements with the essence of traditional jazz. As a saxophonist and composer based in Germany, Stein ...
Zarek Silberschmidt: Rips and Tears
by Richard J Salvucci
It is reasonable to suppose that a recording like this might have a limited audience, although “adventurous" might be a better choice of words. Zarek Silberschmidt is a virtuoso acoustic guitarist, familiar to audiences in Switzerland and Germany, and a disciple of Django Reinhardt, even if some Chet Atkins seems to slip in as well. George ...
