Jay Leonhart: Cool

Read "Cool" reviewed by Dr. Judith Schlesinger

by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
December 3, 2004

This CD isn't “cool" in the sense of inscrutable players wearing dark shades and attitude. It's more like the “cool" applied to something delightful, like this trio's deft and friendly handling of the material. The jazz on Cool is absolutely solid but never dense--it's playful and flowing, full of imagination and wit. The trio ...

Mike Holober and the Gotham Jazz Orchestra: Thought Trains

Read "Thought Trains" reviewed by John Kelman

October 23, 2004

Originally recorded in '96, years before Mike Holober's début small group recording Canyon (Sons of Sound, '03), Thought Trains is only now seeing the light of day, but it continues to assert the pianist/composer/arranger as a dominant new force on the New York scene. And while the larger ensemble context of Thought Trains limits the amount ...

Any literate review of Interconnection will mention the classic duo recordings Bill Evans and Jim Hall made in the mid-'60s, and for good reason: guitarist Bob Sneider and pianist Paul Hoffmann approach improvisation in much the same way. Their world is one of dynamic interaction, spare phrasing, polite poise, clean tone, and a certain intangible cerebral ...

April 10, 2004

Guitar/piano duets are a rarity, if only because there is often an inherent difficulty in finding a way to work together without stepping on each others’ toes. Notable exceptions, of course, include records with Bill Evans and Jim Hall; Pat Martino and Gil Goldstein; and, in more recent years, Bill Frisell and Fred Hersch. Now add ...

Akira Tana: Moon Over The World

Read "Moon Over The World" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman
February 9, 2004

While the influence and adaptability of European sources to modern jazz is a given, there seems to be little credit or credibility given to the Asian subcontinent. With his Asian American Jazz Trio, consisting of pianist Ted Lo and bassist Rufus Reid, drummer Akira Tana looks to Chinese and Japanese folk songs, television theme songs and ...
