by Dan Bilawsky
It would be easy to give a pass to vocalist Bryan Anthony if he had wanted to do a no-surprises take on standards. Anthony has become something of an expert in the art-of-the-old, having occupied the vocalist chair in various ghost bands like the Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey Orchestras, but he clearly isn't content to ...

Pianist Gary Norian, her preferred musical partner for the last decade, arranged and co-produced the duo date, which highlights their unique musical empathy. “Gary ...
Robert Hurst: Unrehurst Volumes 1 and 2
by C. Michael Bailey
The jazz piano trio--piano, bass, and drums, also known as the “rhythm section"--is a fundamental unit in jazz ensembles. It is the motor that drives all combos greater than itself. Which instrument a trio “leader" plays often has a profound effect on the personality and temperament of the music produced. Bass-led trios often bring the bass ...
Amikaeyla & Trelawny Rose: To Eva, With Love: A Celebration of Eva Cassidy Live
by C. Michael Bailey
Singer Eva Cassidy was a force of nature, an incandescent slice of lightening that flashed and was no more. Best described as a song stylist, Cassidy was an excellent guitarist capable of interpreting standards from any genre in an almost violently refreshing and personal manner. Cassidy's career lasted barely 10 years and never garnered the attention ...

Art Pepper: Blues for the Fisherman
by C. Michael Bailey
Art PepperBlues for the FishermanWidow's Taste2011 Laurie Pepper has been the lightning rod for the music of her late husband, Art Pepper, since the saxophonist's death at 56 in 1982. She took proper control of his musical legacy in 1981 on the advice of the couple's accountant, ...
James Carter: Caribbean Rhapsody
by Dan Bilawsky
Reconciling the improvisational nature of jazz with the semi-rigid confines of classical constructs like the concerto has never been easy. While concertos are meant to highlight a soloist, making this format seem like a perfect home in which a jazz instrumentalist can dwell, the oft-scripted nature of all parts involved, including the solo, works against one ...
Art Pepper: Blues For The Fisherman
by Greg Simmons
What jumps out of Art Pepper's Blues for the Fisherman is his alto saxophone's boldness and overt expressiveness. If prior exposure has only scratched the surface of Pepper's work--perhaps with the ubiquitous Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section (Contemporary, 1957)--this live recording fairly smashes expectations of a polite, cool performance. Recorded in two nights at Ronnie ...
