Ramona Borthwick: A New Leaf
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
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
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
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, ...
Jim Robitaille Group: To Music
by John Kelman
Without taking away from the fact that guitarist Jim Robitaille is obviously his own man, it is a refreshing change to see someone who has obviously spent a lot of time studying John Abercrombie, who, while certainly a well-known name in modern jazz, regrettably doesn’t seem to have the same kind of popular clout as, say, ...
Jim Robitaille Group: To Music
by C. Michael Bailey
Four words regarding Jim Robitaille’s new recording To Music : Dave Liebman, holy shit! Forget the mystical liner notes and every other thing that tries to soil this recording with New Age sentiment. Dave Liebman totally rocks. Now, with that out of the way... To Music owes its entire existence ...
