Joel LaRue Smith: The Motorman's Son
by Dan Bilawsky
The impact that parents can have on their children is absolutely incalculable. They're responsible for rearing and guiding, instilling and imprinting a series of attitudes and virtues on what essentially amounts to a human blank slate. Their acts inspire the actions and beliefs that come to largely define their progeny. That's an idea that pianist Joel ...
Trish Clowes: My Iris
by Fiona Ord-Shrimpton
Firstly, each individual in the Trish Clowes Quartet, Trish Clowes on various saxophones, Ross Stanley on piano and Hammond, Chris Montague on guitar and James Maddren on drums, fits their corner perfectly, providing the extra dimension that makes their cohesive playing effortless.

Weather Report: Heavy Weather
by Sacha O'Grady
Weather Report were one of the earliest jazz fusion groups to emerge at the beginning of the '70s. They were rare in that, like Herbie Hancock's Headhunters, they didn't have a guitarist to light the fire and excite the audience as was the case with Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever; instead, they relied, in addition ...

The falling cost of an independent release has meant that it is easier than ever for a ...
The Brian Dickinson Quintet: The Rhythm Method
by Dan McClenaghan
Toronto-based pianist Brian Dickinson explores the “quintet with a two sax front line" on The Rhythm Method. He takes his lead from the somewhat overlooked pianist/conceptualist Lennie Tristano, who broke the ground with his historic 1949 Capitol Sessions featuring Lee Konitz on alto sax and Warne Marsh on tenor sax; and with his 1956 recordings with ...
Dorian Devins Hits a Double in the Bleak Midwinter
by C. Michael Bailey
New York centered jazz singer and lyricist Dorian Devins first rocked my sensitive Southern Consciousness in 2013 with the release of The Procrastinator (Rain1 Jazz). Devins marked a return to that jazz step-child, vocalese: the application of lyrics to well-known wordless jazz compositions. The recording was a cornerstone of that year. Devins played a very large ...
Il meglio del 2016 secondo Maurizio Zerbo
by Maurizio Zerbo
il 2016 non è stato particolarmente felice per chi ama il jazz, non mi è stato facile stilare questa lista di 12 CD da consigliare. Particolarmente degni di nota il nuovo album di Dino e Franco Piana e soprattutto l'omaggio di Brian Lynch allo sfortunato trombettista Woody Shaw. Da amare e consigliare anche le ristampe Blue ...
