Jazz Vocals June
by C. Michael Bailey
Andrea Balducci Bloom Schema 2012 Italian vocalist Andrea Balducci is so earnestly hip and so perfectly coiffed (he is a lawyer, after all) he is almost a metaphor: a talented metaphor. His debut recording, Bloom is equally hip and coiffed as the singer himself. With a keen ear ...
Kat Gang: Kat Gang
by Dan Bilawsky
Vocalist Kat Gang must have been thinking of the old show business adage, “always leave them wanting more," when she conceived of and recorded this four-song EP; this sub-sixteen-minute musical appetizer whets the appetite, as Gang inhabits each song with a world-wise voice and delivery, and certainly leaves room for a larger portion to fill the ...

Five Golden Rings for Christmas
by C. Michael Bailey
The 2011 holidays are nearly upon us and with them, the requisite focused recordings. The number of such offerings has diminished in the last number of years.

Larry Carlton: Plays The Sound of Philadelphia
by John Kelman
Regardless of context, guitarist Larry Carlton has built a reputation as one of the tastiest guitarists around, whether he's supporting singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell, jazz/pop hybrid Steely Dan or soulful jazz/funksters The Crusaders. His own records, while always accessible--at times, crossing the line into smooth jazz territory--demonstrate a distinctive blend of sweet and gritty tone, bluesy soulfulness, ...

Tony DeSare: Radio Show
by Jeff Winbush
At a time when, for all intents and purposes, radio has ceased to be the breeding ground for new talent, Tony DeSare's Radio Show takes a long and loving look back at its golden age. It's more than a little ironic that, with the timidly restrictive formats of many radio stations, Radio Show will find it ...
Tony DeSare: Radio Show
by Woodrow Wilkins
For persons born before 1990, radio was the primary medium for hearing new music. Not only was the form of communication more widely used on the consumer end, but before mergers and buyouts, the announcers and deejays were as much a part of the listening experience as the songs themselves. Tony DeSare tries to recapture that ...
