Steve Herberman Trio: Action:Reaction

Read "Action:Reaction" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza

The instrument, which has been his to fathom since 1993, is now an articulate messenger for his ministrations. Herberman writes with his eye on the palette that this guitar provides. His creativity infuses the music and it matters not whether he is ...

Steve Herberman Trio: Action : Reaction

Read "Action : Reaction" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


L’azione-reazione promessa dal titolo e ulteriormente sottolineata dalla foto di copertina rimane rinchiusa quasi totalmente nelle intenzioni dell’autore. Perché Action : Reaction è un elegante esempio di guitar-jazz-trio, con tre musicisti perfettamente in the mood, rilassati, pienamente a proprio agio tra raffinate armonie e delicate linee melodiche. Ma proprio i contrasti evocati dal titolo, il gioco ...

Steve Herberman Trio: Action: Reaction

Read "Action: Reaction" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone

Steve Herberman: Action:Reaction

Read "Action:Reaction" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


One extra string--from six to seven--does indeed make a difference on the guitar. It extends the bass range, and it lends an added richness to the harmonies. Like fellow guitarist Fred Fried, Steve Herberman plays a seven string instrument to craft a distinctive sound. Herberman's previous CD, Thought Lines (Reach Music, '02) mixed standards and originals. ...

Steve Herberman: Thought Lines

Read "Thought Lines" reviewed by Dr. Judith Schlesinger


Thought Lines is a perfect title for this leader debut from Maryland-based guitarist Steve Herberman, since his guitar lines seem to flow as naturally as thought. This CD was a welcome companion on my recent road trip after a winter storm, perfectly suiting that contemplative, long-drive mood, with enough spark and swing to keep me chugging ...
