Oz Noy: The Twisted Wizardry Of Oz
by Ian Patterson
Any blues played by Oz Noy would have to be a little twisted. Drawing on influences ranging from the classic jazz guitarists of yesteryear to the trailblazers of more recent vintage, Noy's instantly recognizable voice is also heavily influenced by blues and heavy metal guitarists. Two and a half years have passed since Twisted ...
Paul "The Headhunter" Jackson Is Back Big With New Album "Groove Or Die" on November 3
“This is the first recording of the Paul Jackson Trio; it is something old and something new, and everything that I love to play. I’m playing with excellent musicians that are like my family and I hope everyone can enjoy this music as much as I do playing it. Love to you all!” —Paul Jackson Whirlwind ...
Matthieu Marthouret Bounce Trio: Small Streams...Big Rivers
by Bruce Lindsay
Grenoble-born keyboardist Matthieu Marthouret started playing the Hammond organ as a way of covering for bass players' absence from rehearsals. It became one of his favorite instruments, leading to the formation of the Matthieu Marthouret Organ Quartet in 2007 and then to the establishment of the Bounce Trio. Small Streams...Big Rivers is the first album from ...
Ron Aprea's Tribute to John Lennon
by Nicholas F. Mondello
We recently caught up with saxophonist, composer/arranger and educator/clinician, Ron Aprea and spoke with him about recent activities and his current recording project--his personal John Lennon/Beatles tribute. All About Jazz: The last half of 2013 and the time so far in 2014 have been quite positive for you. Let me ask you first ...
Oz Noy: Twisted Blues Volume 2
by Ian Patterson
Two and a half years on from Twisted Blues Volume 1, guitar ace Oz Noy returns with another incendiary serving of jazz-inflected blues. In the intervening period Noy has hardly been idle, releasing a couple of instructional DVDs and touring regularly but his return to the recording studio with his blues bag is certainly welcome. As ...
Tony Kadleck Big Band: Around The Horn
by Nicholas F. Mondello
In assessing baseball talent, the scouts' description “five-tool talent" describes a hitter who can do it all--run, field, hit for average, hit with power and throw. When a musician such as Tony Kadleck steps into the recording batter's box as leader and with work presented such as Around the Horn, the description not only fits like ...
Chassol: Indiamore
by Fiona Ord-Shrimpton
The album Indiamore by French pianist and composer Christophe Chassol is a mix of fusion that quite possibly will appeal to art house jazz fans as well as more mainstream music fans. All required gimmickry abounds:--Artsy, iconographic album cover, a neat global concept --far-flung discovery trips to India working out how to find an ...
Eric Harland's Voyager: Vipassana
by Dan Bilawsky
Much is said about records once they've come into the world, but little is discussed about the motive(s) surrounding the birthing of a record. Sometimes it's simply about marketing, exposure, money, and pure narcissism. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that on some level(s), and many classic albums have been made with little to nothing else in ...
Mike LeDonne: I Love Music
by Jack Bowers
The uncommonly talented Mike LeDonne continues his transition from piano to Hammond B3, if that is what one may call it, with yet another superb album, the suitably named I Love Music. And while using the organ throughout is a good idea, it is but the first of two, as whenever LeDonne schedules a recording session ...
Tony Kadleck Big Band: Around The Horn
by Dan Bilawsky
Trumpeter Tony Kadleck is one of those musicians that nearly everybody has heard, regardless of whether they know it. He's an unerring player with extraordinary chops, making him a first-call player for Broadway contractors, jazz musicians, and anybody looking for a never-miss trumpet player to add musicality to a studio session. His horn can be heard ...
