Yelena Eckemoff: Flying Steps
by Karl Ackermann
A good rule of thumb when exploring new or unfamiliar jazz terrain is to look for either bassist Darek Oleszkiewicz or drummer Peter Erskine among the personnel. Finding both together leads to the very satisfying net results of Yelena Eckemoff 's Flying Steps, reuniting the Russian-born pianist with Erskine for their third collaboration. ...
Mark Weinstein: El Cumbanchero
by Dan Bilawsky
Exploring music with the intellect of an ethnomusicologist, the imagination of an artist, and the technical savvy and musical know-how to combine the two is no easy feat, but Mark Weinstein is more than capable of pulling it off. For the flautist's latest Latin feast, he turned his attention toward a fusion of jazz and charanga ...
Ted Rosenthal Trio: Out of This World

Oscar Castro-Neves: This project, Live at Blue Note Tokyo, is endearing to my heart for several reasons: first—it was done on Tokyo.

Kevin Hays: Variations
by Dan Bilawsky
When famed jazz scholar Gunther Schuller first coined the term “Thematic Improvisation," he wasn't introducing a new concept so much as shedding light on how jazz artists had come to use the age-old “Theme And Variations" format in their own sweet way. While nobody would argue that grand compositional gestures or outré improvisations from a master ...
