Kaufman/Gertz/Bergonzi: Dreaming Out Loud
by Dan McClenaghan
These guys make it sound so effortless to make ageless sounds in the trio format.

Indeed, after a dozen and a half spins of the disc, Charlie Parker keeps coming to mind--Bergonzi is very ...

Noble Savage bristles with vitality as it explores the many facets of Caribbean-influenced music, with side trips to Australia, home of saxophonist / conguero Hilary Noble’s forebears, and New Orleans. Much of that firepower springs from drummer / percussionist ...

Saxophonist Dan Moretti should be better known. He should have a profile on the level of a Chris Potter or an Eric Alexander. But underappreciation is a frequent way of life in jazz. And if Moretti isn't as well known as he should be, he just keeps working--leader or co-leader on ten CDs to date, including ...
