Ted Rosenthal Trio: Out of This World
by Edward Blanco
Borrowing from The Great American Songbook is a standard practice for many jazz artists, who include one or more pieces when rounding out a repertoire of primarily new material. Not so for pianist Ted Rosenthal, whose affinity for music from the Songbook is reflected on at least two previous recordings, Rosenthology (Concord Jazz, 1994) and One ...
Jeff Williams: Another Time
by Dan Bilawsky
The catch-all term “playing time" is often used as a descriptor for drummers that find a steady, supportive pattern and play it ad infinitum, whether to the benefit or detriment of a band, but that definition has always been limiting. Drummer Jeff Williams, for example, has and plays impeccable time, but he paints around the lines ...

Ted Rosenthal Trio: Out Of This World
by Dan Bilawsky
Standards, when presented in their original form, speak of the time and place of their creation, but part of their longevity is due to the fact that they aren't encased in an early twentieth century amber that fossilizes and dates the material. The music of George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Billy Strayhorn, and Richard Rodgers is timeless, ...
Mike Prigodich: A Stitch in Time
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Mike Prigodich's A Stitch in Time comes as a pleasant surprise, not only because the pianist displays astounding technique, but because he dazzles with the dramatic nature of his playing. Yet the drama is no ruse or distraction from the heart of his music, which is highly charged with emotion. This is, of course, reflected in ...
Saxophonist/Composer Neil Leonard Releases Recording "Marcel's Window" on Gasp Records.
Neil Leonard doesn't often record as a leader, but when he does, he makes it count. For his 2001 solo debut, Timaeus, the saxophonist and composer used computers and algorithms to expand his performances. The recording was widely praised by the jazz press. All About Jazz said that the album “Serves the new music community while ...
Marc Copland / John Abercrombie: Speak to Me
by John Kelman
Plenty of artists explore that most naked of musical couplings, the duo, but few have mined its intimate potential the way pianist Marc Copland has. Since 2003, the light-of-touch, impressionistically lithe pianist has put out no less than six duo records amongst the more than 15 albums he's released on half a dozen labels--though since 2007, ...

Tierney Sutton: In Union There is Strength
by Todd Gordon
Bands come in all shapes, sizes and dynamics. Some thrive on the tensions, while others fall apart too soon due to creative differences or inflated egos. None of these challenges seem to present themselves to the group of musicians that takes its name from the vocalist Tierney Sutton. With nine albums under its collective belt, complemented ...
