Joan Hutton / Sue Orfield: Splash
by Jerome Wilson
Alto saxophonist Joan Hutton and tenor saxophonist Sue Orfield co-lead a quintet out of the US Midwest called Take That Back. The band's distinctive sound rises out of the rich dialogue between their two leaders. They flow, stomp and roll through a program of mostly original music with high spirits and style. “Splash" and ...
Kavyesh Kaviraj: Fables
by Mike Jurkovic
If there is a more masterly and majestic way to open a debut album than the running the circularity and capricious muscle of “Who Am I" it has not been often heard. It is that sense of hearing a new maker of myth and beauty with a fine ear and a finer talent reveal itself on ...
Zachary Finnegan: Guidance and Gratitude
by Nicholas F. Mondello
Guidance and Gratitude from trumpeter and composer Zachary Finnegan delivers nine highly-textured and involving selections. Each selection presents itself with a story background in its title and each is a multi-layered composition, a micro-symphony. It is intelligent music. “Urban Motion" is an energetic, perhaps frantic, landscape with an ostinato six-note bed and a ...
Alliance: Alliance
by Dan Bilawsky
The eponymous debut from Alliance--a collective quartet spearheaded by saxophonist Sharel Cassity and drummer Colleen Clark, and harmonically hinged on pianist Hannah Mayer and bassist Carmani Edwards-- is a shining example of the strength behind a pact in play. A sorority built on substantial musical prowess and possibilities, this is a band that's locked and loaded ...
Jake Baldwin, Zacc Harris, Pete Henning: Boundaries
by Kyle Simpler
Some music defies definition. If it fits into a recognizable style, it is not that difficult to describe. When artists step outside traditional boundaries to create a different sound, it frequently becomes one of those “you just have to hear it" moments. Such is the case with Boundaries, the debut release from the trio of trumpeter ...

by Glenn Astarita
Minneapolis-based jazz trio The Early Planets features the impressive talents of composer and guitarist Mike Wolter which may take listeners on a transcendent journey with their latest release, The Waits / InBetween Music. The album opens with “Tone Down Your Vibe," in which Wolter's intricate melodies float atop a Latin-like pulse. The interplay between the musicians ...
Marcel Bonfim: Farewell/Despedida
by Richard J Salvucci
Brazilian-born bassist Marcelo Bonfim is relatively new on the scene. This is his debut recording, and it is a good one. Based in Chicago, Bonfin entitles one of his compositions “When I First Met You." One thinks it must have been some first date, because the tune is a bit more frantic than most on this ...
