Pianist/Composer Soren Moller Releases New CD "Christian X Variations" on Audial Records.
Some jazz musicians do one thing well, but that one thing is all that they do. Not Soren Moller. Flexibility is the driving force that motivates this Danish-born pianist-composer to continually explore. Moller is as comfortable playing his original compositions in a duo or quartet configuration as he is interpreting the work of Miles Davis or ...
Peter Erskine / Bob Mintzer / Derek Oles / Alan Pasqua: Standards 2, Movie Music
by Dan Bilawsky
While the songs featured on Standards 2, Movie Music were given an initial audience through the medium of film, some of them have led a fruitful existence beyond the borders of the silver screen.

David Binney: Graylen Epicenter
by Troy Collins
Saxophonist, composer and producer David Binney, a progressive artist with one foot in the mainstream and the other in the avant-garde, has gracefully skirted the tenuous divide between traditions for over two decades.

Ben Wolfe Quintet: Live at Small's
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Ben Wolfe is a commanding presence beside the gravitational weight of his bass violin. On Live at Smalls, Wolfe brings something of the fabled Charles Mingus' authority and leadership to his own quintet. It had to be so; Wolfe undertakes to have four towering individualists interpret the charts performed on this date at the club that ...
