Steve Turre - Delicious and Delightful (2010)
By Mark Saleski Odd instruments in jazz: pedal steel guitar, theremin, the Samchillian (You'll have to trust me on this one. Its “formal" name is the “Samchillian Tip Tip Tip Cheeepeee." Don't believe me? Look it up), the harmonica, the human voice (if you're Shooby Taylor or Mike Patton), the saw blade. Some of these instruments ...
Ray Charles: Genius + Soul = Jazz
by C. Michael Bailey
Ray Charles Genius + Soul = Jazz Concord Music 2010 Ray Charles spent the 1950s and 1960s transforming the atomic American musics of gospel, the blues, R&B and country into what has been tagged “soul." Should jazz have been immune to his considerable charms? No, of course not. During the ...
Sopla, Andrea Brachfeld! Blow!
by Javier AQ Ortiz
A visit to a New York afterhours dive during the heyday of salsa in the mid 1970s would most likely afford the chance to see charanga groups such as Típica Novel, Orquesta Broadway or Charanga 76, furiously competing against each other-- with flutist Andrea Brachfeld holding her own among a bunch of hardcore characters, musical and ...
Peppe Merolla: Stick With Me
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Although Stick With Me is a simple, straight ahead album, it is fresh and full of wonderful twists and turns. The very first track says, “expect the unexpected," when “Naples," opens with a splash of cymbals, the rolling thunder of mallets on tympanis and Steve Turre calling plaintively on his trademark shells, and then it's a ...

Peppe Merolla: Stick With Me

Luis Bonilla: I Talking Now
by Franz A. Matzner
Trombonist, composer, bandleader and professor Luis Bonilla is not a tortured artist. One cannot imagine him careening from one imbalanced extreme of self- reflection to the other or participating in anything particularly self-indulgent, whatsoever. He is a loving husband and a father who seems to inhale and exhale commitment to his two-year-old daughter. The middle son ...

Nick La Riviere: Too Much To Do
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The warmth of the trombone as a brass instrument is astounding. Masters of the instrument such as Roswell Rudd, Slide Hampton, Steve Turre, Ray Anderson and Papo Vazquez give this wondrous instrument a near-human voice using smears and growls, groans and sighs. Canada is suddenly becoming a breeding ground for fine young instrumentalists who are adding ...
