Peter Erskine / Bob Mintzer / Darek Oles / Alan Pasqua: Standards 2, Movie Music
by Edward Blanco
Standards hold a particular fascination for drummer Peter Erskine, as initiated through his Grammy-nominated Standards(Fuzzy Music, 2008). Unlike that first album--comprised primarily of old jazz standards--Standards 2, Movie Music focuses on songs that are considered standards from the realm of Hollywood movies. Featuring music from Gone With The Wind (1939), considered by many to be one ...

by Edward Blanco
Making a special social statement with his music, Danish-born pianist Soren Moller honors the memory of Danish King Christian X who, during World War II, protected his country's Jews from discrimination and deportation by the Nazis. The effort to protect and unite fellow countrymen served as the inspiration for the compositions on Christian X Variations.
Randy Klein, President of Jazzheads Records on the Latest Grammy Category Changes...
NARAS which is the governing organization for the Grammy's has announced today that they have eliminated the Latin Jazz category. Over the years, I have had thoughts that NARAS wouldn't recognize a musical note if it hit them in the face. I have, up until now, given NARAS the benefit of the doubt, but, now they ...
Pablo Held: Glow
by Dan Bilawsky
German piano wonder Pablo Held was only 23 years old when he entered the studio to record the music on Glow, but he had already earned his place in the pantheon of modern day piano trio leaders.

Marc Copland: Crosstalk
by Dan McClenaghan
Rather than form a longstanding band that can soak up his musical vision over a period of years, pianist Marc Copland thrives in a universe of rotating players that keeps things fresh and spontaneous. On his three outstanding New York Trio Recordings, Copland switched bassists (Gary Peacock, Drew Gress) and drummers (Paul Motian, Bill Stewart), versatile ...
Marc Copland: Crosstalk
by John Kelman
After spending the early part of the 2000s in a recording spree that found him releasing as many as four albums each year on a variety of labels, Marc Copland has, since 2006, parked his piano with Germany's upstart Pirouet label. It's clearly been a fruitful pairing, with Copland releasing a variety of albums, in 2009 ...
Noah Haidu: Slipstream
by Dan Bilawsky
What do slipstreams and music have in common? The simple answer is: flow. While some genres have turned their back on the idea of letting each piece of music flow in its own unique way, subscribing instead to digital quantizing and beat perfection, jazz isn't one of them. On his appropriately titled debut, Slipstreams, pianist Noah ...

Gilberto Gil: Fè na festa
by AAJ Italy Staff
Protagonista tra i più popolari della musica brasiliana del secondo novecento, Gilberto Gil esemplifica in questo suo più recente disco gli alti e bassi della sua più che cinquantennale carriera artistica. Lo slancio, la verve vocale ed il nerbo interpretativo sono quelli dei tempi migliori, ma ad essere deficitaria è l'impalcatura musicale del suo progetto Curioso ...
