Joe Chambers: Samba De Maracatu

By ANGELO LEONARDI

Batterista leggendario, compartecipe di grandi pagine del bop avanzato degli anni sessanta settanta, con Wayne Shorter, Andrew Hill, Bobby Hutcherson, Joe Henderson e decine di altri, il batterista Joe Chambers torna in casa Blue Note dopo un'assenza più che ventennale.

Dogon and Friends

By PATRICK BURNETTE

The boys look at three recent releases including a vocal-focused celebration of Canada, a two-hander by composers of children's television soundtracks and a Swedish flutist upset with the political tides of the last few years. After a spirited, if dispiriting, discussion of jazz as “protest music" propers get paid to a pivotal recording of avant-funk-folk jazz ...

Jerome Wilson's Best Releases of 2019

By JEROME WILSON

The human voice was the first musical instrument and many of my favorite releases of the past year show how powerful the voice can be, whether the singer is in a choir, part of an instrumental ensemble or leading the band.

That still happens today but nowhere as frequently as it once did. Bassist and composer Steve Haines revives that tradition with an amazing ...

Steve Haines: And the Third Floor Orchestra

By JACK BOWERS

This is by and large lovely music, to be sure, but to paraphrase a Burger King ad from years gone by, “Where's the jazz?" Aside from a handful of perfunctory solos by soprano saxophonist Chad Eby and pianist Joey Calderazzo, there isn't much here. Instead, composer / arranger Steve Haines and the Third Floor Orchestra canvass ...

The Chad Eby Quartet: The Sweet Shel Suite

By NICHOLAS F. MONDELLO

For those who might not know him from his most famous written works, “The Giving Tree" and “Light in the Attic," or from his music, Johnny Cash's hit, “A Boy Named Sue," poet, cartoonist, playwright and Grammy®-winning musician, Shel Silverstein was about as unique and talented an artist as they come. Ironically, some of his best ...

Chad Eby Quartet: The Sweet Shel Suite

By MARK CORROTO

Reading poet Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree once again as an adult, it is improbable that one would take away the same message as you did reading the book as a child. The boy in the story grows up playing in the branches of the tree and eating its fruit, eventually cutting the trunk for wood. ...
