Meeco: Perfume e Carícias
by Dan Bilawsky
Everything about the music of Meeco speaks of subtlety, seduction and mood, from the cover art--with vocalist-lyricist Eloisia embracing him in what can only be described as a Calvin Klein advertisement-type pose--to the title itself, which is Portuguese for “Perfume and Caresses." The music, presented in easy-to-digest short tracks, with the longest performance clocking in at ...

Myron Walden: Eclectic Reedman
by Edward Bride
In words often used to describe the music of Duke Ellington, Myron Walden is a saxophonist beyond category. More so than many other musicians, Walden himself eschews reliance on any one instrument, not tenor or alto nor soprano nor bass nor... well, you get the idea. The voice that he is striving to use in any ...
