Keefe Jackson/Josh Berman/Jon Rune Strøm/Tollef Østvang: Southern Sun

Read "Southern Sun" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Americans have discovered Norwegian jazz artists through several sources. Manfred Eicher's ECM label has produced music by the now famous artists: Arild Andersen, Jan Garbarek, Tord Gustavsen, Terje Rypdal, Trygve Seim and Nils Petter Molvaer. Their success bled into the modern sounds of Bugge Wesseltoft, Per Zanussi, Håvard Wiik, and Hakon Kornstad. Perhaps the closest connection ...

Grateful Dead ‎– Dick's Picks Volume Four: Fillmore East 2/13-14/70

Read "Grateful Dead ‎– Dick's Picks Volume Four: Fillmore East 2/13-14/70" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Quite apart from the the scintillating performances spread over (the first ever release of) three CD's on the Grateful Dead's Dick's Picks Volume 4, this title has all the earmarks of a classic entry into this seminal archive series. It was recorded at the fabled Fillmore East, the now defunct New York City venue operated by ...

Al Di Meola: Elysium

Read "Elysium" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Virtually all of guitarist Al DiMeola's recordings since the days of Return to Forever are listenable to a greater or lesser degree, but his last couple have been truly exceptional. A genuine affection for the Beatles permeates All Your Life (In-Akustik, 2013) and the comparably deep, lush textures of the ever-so-appropriately titled Elysium are rooted in ...

That is an embarrassment of riches. But can counselor Singley translate all of this brain power into music? Her life arc had her practicing law and raising ...

Nils Lofgren: UK 2015 Face the Music Tour

Read "UK 2015 Face the Music Tour" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

On the back cover of the UK 2015 Face the Music Tour CD, Nils Lofgren isn't outfitted in a much less colorful outfit than on his eponymous solo album of 1975. And that's reflective of the music inside which, appropriately enough for such a stripped-down duo approach, emphasizes the man's well-wrought material and an effervescent performing ...

Read "Gli ottant’anni di Ran Blake" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Alla non banale soglia degli ottant'anni, compiuti lo scorso 20 aprile, Ran Blake se ne esce con tre nuovi lavori che in parte ribadiscono concetti già noti (almeno nei suoi percorsi più recenti) e in parte ne insinuano di meno battuti. Ran Blake Ghost Tones: Portraits of George Russell ...

Rotem Sivan Trio: A New Dance

Read "A New Dance" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

You can only imagine the hurricane-like storm of hyperbole that accompanies every new release by every single fresh young jazz artist on today's scene. We are promised, every time, that the artist in question (...always immensely-talented) is a “musical genius" and “true innovator" who is going to “transform the jazz world as we know it." The ...
