Jason Lindner: Live/UK
by Tom Greenland
Jazz people like to catch a buzz. Used to be you could grab a quick six-pack and duck into Smalls, a Greenwich Village venue run by Mitch Borden that literally hummed with world class talent-deserving-of-wider-recognition. Amidst this beehive of activity, Jason Lindner was always a contender, and New Yorkers in-the-know knew it was only a matter ...
Armen Donelian: Full Moon Music
by Elliott Simon
The third chapter in pianist Armen Donelian's Grand Ideas trilogy, Full Moon Music, stands alone in its ability to allow the listener to bond with the artist on a most personal level. Consisting of fourteen freely improvised solo piano portraits, the program masterfully tip-toes, walks, and runs along the thinnest of lines separating jazz and classical ...
Ximo Tebar: Goes Blue
by Stephen Latessa
Goes Blue is the third entry in Ximo Tebar's Jazz Guitar Trio series, which has featured the Spanish guitarist playing with such luminaries as Idris Muhammad and Joey DeFrancesco. On this entry, Tebar and Muhammad are joined by Dr. Lonnie Smith and, on three tracks, Lou Donaldson. Listeners will not find anything too challenging or surprising, ...
Kenny Barron Trio: The Perfect Set: Live at Bradley
by Michael McCaw
This music is immaculate. From the onset of “You Don't Know What Love Is and the suspended feel pianist Kenny Barron generates in his unaccompanied opening statement, entrancing listeners with his eventual development of the chorus, you know you are hearing a modern master of the piano. Bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Ben Riley are not ...
Rhoda Scott: Encore, Encore, Encore
by Stephen Latessa
Few instruments are as fascinating to listen to as the Hammond B-3 organ. Sliding from the sweetest buttery swirls to the deepest, darkest tones whose vibrations ominously shake whatever glass might be in the area, the B-3 is like an orchestra unto itself. Born in New Jersey but based in Paris, organist Rhoda Scott is an ...
Dave Liebman Group: Conversation
by John Kelman
When an artist has as a wide musical viewpoint as saxophonist Dave Liebman, and has released so many albums in a 35-year career that touch on so many aspects of jazz--big band to solo, highly structured to free, acoustic to electric--one would think that there'd be little chance of surprise left. Wrong. Released in '03, Conversation--featuring ...
Luciana Souza: Duos II
by Brandt Reiter
This followup to singer Luciana Souza's 2002 Grammy-nominated Brazilian Duos charts much the same territory: it's a lilting, luscious record of acoustic Brazilian song interpreted through guitar and voice duets--and, if anything, it's even better than its excellent predecessor. Guitarists Romero Lubambo and Marco Pereira return from the previous project, appearing on five and three cuts, ...
Armen Donelian: Full Moon Music
by Michael McCaw
Precious few listeners are aware of Armen Donelian. A tremendously talented pianist who has never had a major label signing nor has attached his name to a legend or star of some sort, Donelian has quietly created a body of work that at the very least is consistent, at best exhilarating. His latest release covers the ...
Mingus Big Band: I Am Three
by Paul Olson
Mingus Big Band/Orchestra/Dynasty I Am Three Sunnyside Records 2005 I Am Three, the debut CD on the Sue Mingus Music imprint (distributed as part of Sunnyside's Confluences Series), pays tribute to the late Charles Mingus by bringing together the three principal Mingus repertory bands: Mingus Big Band, Mingus ...
Guillermo Klein: Una Nave
by John Kelman
Some albums are simply a collection of discrete songs; others are broader works where the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts. With Una Nave, Argentinean pianist Guillermo Klein has created a boldly sweeping album that transcends its individual components. While these sixteen pieces can be assessed in terms of stylistic roots, specific ...
