Mike Reed's People, Places and Things: A New Kind of Dance
by Glenn Astarita
You can always count on drummer, bandleader Mike Reed to jar your neural network on a per-album basis. Indeed, he's a propulsive force; an acute progressive jazz visionary, and a luminary in Chicago's forward-moving improvisational dynamic, while also hosting and promoting jazz/improvisation festivals in the Windy City. Otherwise, his People Places & Things unit strikes again ...

Getting back in the Monday night jazz groove
Rhode Island has had a superb big band jazz tradition that began within a year of the Monday night “rehearsal band" that Thad Jones and Mel Lewis started at New York's Village Vanguard. Drummer Duke Belaire inaugurated the RI tradition in 1967 at the Cobblestone Tavern in East Providence before settling in 1969 at nearby Bovi's ...
Nancy Erickson: While Strolling Through the Park
by C. Michael Bailey
Listening to “New Year's Eve," Nancy Erickson's original composition opening her third recording, While Strolling Through the Park, makes me recall the songwriting of Dr. Louise Van Aarsen (Destiny (Self Produced, 2012)). Both sport a very contemporary and adult vision of falling in love, having a family and simply living. That is refreshing in that this ...
The Jam: Setting Sons Deluxe Edition
by Doug Collette
The Jam's muscular musicianship is a direct reflection of titular leader Paul Weller's compositions for the trio, a symbiosis never more vivid than on the ambitious likes of Setting Sons. And this double-disc edition of the British band's fourth album reaffirms the blinding speed by which the trio progressed from being earnest young musicians paying tribute ...
Nashville Electric: Orson's Folly
by Glenn Astarita
This is not an ambient-electronic, celestial voyage or new age type gala. In fact, it's a scoring of actor, director Orson Welles' “Four Men on a Raft" sequence from his 1942 documentary It's All True. This was a film that the US Government expected to be sugarcoated as part of a cultural exchange program with Brazil. ...
