Dana Lauren: It's You Or No One
by Dan Bilawsky
At the age of 21, vocalist Dana Lauren has a command of her instrument that many professional singers twice her age would envy. Lauren has a voice that's one part Roberta Gambarini and one part Diana Krall, with a dash of soul thrown in to spice things up, and she puts it good use on this ...
Wayne Brasel: If You Would Dance
by Dan Bilawsky
Guitarist Wayne Brasel's music reflects the West Coast lifestyle--or at least the stereotype that most people have of sunny California living. His clear, cleanly articulated guitar lines speak of gentle evenings by the water, and he has assembled a great cast of musicians to help shape these languorous compositions. Brasel and Peter Erskine have been acquainted ...

Alper Yilmaz: Over The Clouds
by Mark F. Turner
If Alper Yilmaz's 2007 debut Clashes (Kayique Records) was a precursor, then his sophomore release Over The Clouds solidifies the Turkish-born bassist as a force to be reckoned with. With an electric bass as his axe of choice, he delivers muscularity and ingenuity in the vein of the great Jaco Pastorius and present day players like ...
Brandon Wright: Boiling Point
by Woodrow Wilkins
It's never a bad thing when an artist emerges with a collection of more original music than remakes of standards. And when the covers are unique arrangements, or of songs not copied ad nauseam, so much the better, as is the case with saxophonist Brandon Wright's Boiling Point. Wright, originally from Woodcliff Lake, New ...

But pianist Bill Carrothers has crafted a different type of homage with Joy Spring, using the piano trio format to flesh out some ...
