Gerry Gibbs and the Thrasher Big Band: Live at Luna

Read "Live at Luna" reviewed by Edward Blanco

by Edward Blanco

Live at Luna celebrates a swinging two-night live big band performance in July of 2005 by drummer/bandleader Gerry Gibbs and his Thrasher Big Band. If you're in any way familiar with or partial to the kind of roar you hear from a Buddy Rich Big Band or the powerful sounds from the Woody Herman's Thundering Herds, ...

John Stein: Concerto Internacional de Jazz

Read "Concerto Internacional de Jazz" reviewed by Jim Santella

by Jim Santella

For this intriguing Brazilian project, guitarist John Stein traveled to São Paulo, where he found ambience and collaborated with a cohesive group of like-minded artists. Together, they interpret standards and originals with intuitive feeling. Stein, who prefers to keep the session to a basic guitar/bass/drums trio with rotating guests, fills each piece with sensual ...

Ramona Borthwick: A New Leaf

Read "A New Leaf" reviewed by Budd Kopman

by Budd Kopman

A New Leaf is at turns melodious, swinging, emotional and cool. Like Min Rager's Bright Road, it is brimming with energy and good vibes, and the compositions are first rate. The choice of title tune is always instructive, and the opening “A New Leaf" exposes Ramona Borthwick's many influences. Starting with a simple, ...

Ramona Borthwick: A New Leaf

Read "A New Leaf" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza

by Jerry D'Souza

Ramona Borthwick makes quite an impression with her first international release. She and husband Noel Borthwick were active on the music scene in Mumbai (Bombay) during the '80s, before they moved to Ottawa and then to Boston. Given her training in Western classical music and the clear empathy she has for Indian classical music, it is ...

Dan Moretti and Once Through: Passing Place

Read "Passing Place" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

When I first heard saxophonist/bandleader Dan Moretti's Once Through, I loved the sound and proclaimed it “a wonderful debut." Moretti promptly wrote me (isn't email a great thing) to say that the release was his ninth as a leader. He was polite but insistent that I fix the published review. I complied, explaining that the sound ...

Ann Austin: Lost In Your Eyes

Read "Lost In Your Eyes" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Cape Cod-based vocalist Ann Austin sounds blue collar, blue jeans, with an unaffected and straightforward delivery and pipes with some power when she needs it. Throw in the occasional world-weariness and an underlying toughness--tinted with vulnerability--and she sounds like a lady who sings in a bar somewhere--and does it very well, exploring themes of love, longing, ...
