Yo Miles! Revisited: Lightning and Shinjuku
by John Kelman
Amongst the plethora of tributes to trumpet icon Miles Davis' electric period on Columbia, beginning with 1969's In a Silent Way and ending with 1975's Agharta and Pangaea, only a few stand out as being truly reverential--not just to the electrified energy and jungle funk of the music, but to its undeniably avant leanings as well. ...
Paolo Fresu: Songlines / Night & Blue
by Greg Simmons

Instead, on this two-disc set, the Italian trumpeter prefers speaking his piece with lush melodies and a rich full horn sound, supported by an exceptional quartet. Being an Italian album, it seems ...

Mark Isaacs Resurgence Band: Aurora
by C. Michael Bailey
The last artistic musical movement in jazz to be given a meaningful name was the post-bop movement. Arising out of the mid-1960s as a unifying response to hard bop, modal, the avant-garde and free jazz, post-bop has fairly well dominated the most creative jazz made in the last 30 years.

Wayne Shorter, Roscoe Mitchell & Oliver Lake
by Martin Longley
The Wayne Shorter Quartet The Town Hall February 9, 2011 When observing Wayne Shorter on the stage, he's immediately remarkable for possessing an eccentric body language.
