by Dan Bilawsky
Illuminations--guitarist Steven Kirby's third album, following Point Of Balance (Challenge Records, 1998) and North Lights (Challenge Records, 2003)--is both true to previous form and highly expansive.

Saxophonist Greg Abate joins Woods in the front ...

by Jeff Winbush
When your first or last name is “Miles" and you play jazz and you make an album dueting with a trumpet player and you call it Kind of New, you're opening yourself up to all sorts of assumptions and expectations. Well, let's get those expectations out of the way. Kind of New is not ...
