Jazz For A Romantic Evening
by AAJ Staff
This collection of tunes spans a range of moods and colors, but the common thread running through it is that it's music to share. Perhaps a candlelight dinner, or conversation on the couch, or dancing, or whatever-happens-after-that: these records cover the spectrum. You won't find Jazz for Lovers or any such mass market trash ...
John McLaughlin
by Walter Kolosky
Few tasks are more daunting than picking just ten of a great jazz artist's albums for a library collection. Each record adds in its own way to the appreciation of any artist. But in the case of guitarist John McLaughlin (b. 1942), choosing representative albums is made an even more difficult chore because so many of ...

Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day IV
by Troy Collins
Canada Day has been drummer Harris Eisenstadt's flagship ensemble since its first gig on July 1, 2007--his homeland's national holiday, hence the band name. In the ensuing years the quintet has developed an identifiably cohesive sound that expertly balances avant-garde explorations and in-the-pocket swing, with only one significant personnel change; the bass chair is now filled ...
Fred Hersch: Solo
by Mark Sullivan
To paraphrase the famous remark Miles Davis made about Bill Evans, Fred Hersch plays the piano the way it ought to be played. This album documents a live performance from August, 2014, which was not originally intended for release. But when Hersch listened to it, he changed his mind. “I firmly believe this may be the ...

Double Vision is the third Humming Bird release that actively attempts to extend the formal parameters of free jazz improvisation.

Yelena Eckemoff Quartet: Everblue
by Dan McClenaghan
In a quick follow-up to her masterful two CD set Lions, Russian-born and now North Carolina-based pianist Yelena Eckemoff offers up Everblue, the most “ECM Records-sounding" set not on that deservedly esteemed label. It is, rather, released on her own L&H Productions. The names of the sidemen on the date explain in part the ...
