Jay Leonhart: Cool

by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
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.

Mike Holober and the Gotham Jazz Orchestra: Thought Trains

by John Kelman

Akira Tana: Moon Over The World

by John Kelman
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 ...
