Silvie Rider: Je Te Connais
by C. Michael Bailey
Munich borne Silvie Rider moved to her husband's (Red Young) home of Austin, Texas and recorded a half-Anglophone/half-Francophone album. If that is not the top of multicultural blending, then nothing is. Okay, but first, who is Red Young? Oddly, he would be the keyboard player of late of Eric Burdon and the Animals. Could this story ...
Misha Piatigorsky: Paris Troika
by Dan Bilawsky
Popular music and jazz have always been connected but, over the years, a bit of a divide has developed. A large portion of songs lumped under the Great American Songbook heading were the popular music of their day. As folk and rock began to eclipse jazz in the public eye, some people refused to get on ...
Irene Schweizer / Dewan Motihar / Barney Wilen / Manfred Schoof: Jazz Meets India
by John Kelman
Years before John McLaughlin began a deep investigation into the music of India that resonates to this day, there was Jazz Meets India.

Andre Matos: Fantasies Realized
by William Carey
There is no doubt that André Matos has chops to burn. Placed firmly in the tradition of John Abercrombie and Pat Martino, with a bit of Sonny Sharrock at moments, a lot of Berklee (College of Music) influence is readily apparent, but with a bit of headiness that also reflects the guitarist's time at the New ...
Jeff Beck: Emotion & Commotion
by Doug Collette
Jeff Beck's Emotion & Commotion is designed to nurture the guitarist's growing visibility of the last ten years, and may well serve that purpose, even if it only scratches the surface of his genius. The presence of orchestration on many of these tracks is admirable for its ambition, but is not a novel concept ...
Mikan Zlatkovich: Come Together
by Dee Dee McNeil
Although The Beatles' “Come Together" is a commercially apropos title for keyboardist Mikan Zlatkovich's premier CD, it's his original compositions that are the highlights. “Four Plus One" is upbeat and very funky, with Zlatkovich employing a Yamaha ES90X keyboard to punch the rhythm while singing a repeatable melody hook with his busy right hand. The trio's ...
Debbie Poryes: Catch Your Breath
by John Barron
Recording a disc half-filled with overdone standards should require, at minimum, an attempt at dissection and redirection, investigating any harmonic and rhythmic possibilities left over after decades of use. Such is the case with the release of Catch Your Breath, from San Francisco Bay-area pianist Debbie Poryes. Poryes' approach to arranging involves sophistication with warmth and ...
