Tuomo Uusitalo: Love Song
by Tyran Grillo
Pianist, composer, and educator Tuomo Uusitalo--born in Finland and, since 2012, a resident fixture of the New York City jazz scene--offers up something special in Love Song, his second album as leader. Special, not only because with it Uusitalo has rewritten his name into the ledger of modern jazz in flowing script, but also because he ...
Les Rhinoceros: Les Rhincéros III
by Tyran Grillo
Les Rhinocéros is one of the most engaging anomalies to come out of underground legend John Zorn's forever expanding circle in a long time. The trio of Michael Coltun (basses, electronics, and anything else he can get his hands on), Amit Peled (guitars, ditto), and Jonathan Burrier (drums & percussion) has been destroying and artfully rebuilding ...

by Tyran Grillo
Those outside of New York City, where Megumi Yonezawa currently resides, may only recognize the Japanese pianist, if anywhere, as sidewoman for Greg Osby (see 2004's Public on Blue Note), who brought her onboard following an enthusiastic endorsement from none other than Jason Moran.

Gilad Atzmon And The Orient House Ensemble: The Whistle Blower

As one of the most fearless improvisers of the UK jazz scene, Atzmon has always worn his politics loudly on his sleeve, and here the story of an Israeli Jew who left home ...
Andrea Esperti: Roma-Rio
by Tyran Grillo
Putting on this record, you'd be forgiven for thinking that “Roma nun fa la stupida stasera" was a Brazilian jazz staple. But the song is of Italian vintage, like everything that follows on this atmospheric, laid-back album. Described by Swiss-based trombonist and bandleader Andrea Esperti as the “greatest hits of Italian song crashing Rio's Carnival" or, ...
