by Mark F. Turner
By implementing diverse styles without being confined to any particular one, pianist Gideon Van Gelder provides stimulation for the mind and ear with Perpetual.

Soulful Samba Transcendence: Brazilian Star in the US
If Pedro Moraes had a muse, she'd shake up sweaty samba bars, hips swaying, and turn heads dancing in the street, snaking her way from Rio's bohemian quarter to Bahia and Recife (and on to Mexico City and Liverpool). She'd boogie between the earthy and the erudite, with heady tropicalismo and brainy modernism. She'd embody the ...

by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
This is a very smooth outing from Paul Meyers, mixing standards--both the rather ripe ("I Cover The Waterfront") and the lesser-known (Billy Strayhorn's “Snibor")--with Meyers originals as showcases for his acoustic nylon string guitar. “Smooth" should not be taken to mean “smooth jazz": there is just the right amount of edge in the musicians' interaction to ...

Let's Do It!: Recordings by Mark Egan, Carl Fischer and Terje Lie
by Martin Gladu
The great Miles Davis did it. Chick Corea did it with different groups. Michael Brecker did it with family. Even the educated John Scofield did it. Not to mention Mike Stern. They all did it and we lauded them for it. Most college big bands in America reserve some time in their sets to do it. ...
Anne Drummond: Like Water
by Dan Bilawsky
Listening to vibraphonist Stefon Harris's outstanding African Tarantella (Blue Note, 2006), flautist Anne Drummond's work can often fly under the radar. Her importance on these recordings, however, can't be overstated: she often provides the textural glue that makes the group gel, and the only reason her fine flute work might not be more obvious is because ...
