Dino Govoni: In the Library
by Jack Bowers
Young Boston-based saxophonist Dino Govoni, who has appeared as a sideman on a number of recent albums, steps forward to lead a talented quartet on In the Library, an earnest volume of engaging post-bop essays, most of them written by Govoni and his companions. The exceptions are Chick Corea’s melodious “Again and Again” and Suzanna Sifter’s ...
Mike Pope: The Lay of the Land
by Phil DiPietro
Mike Pope plays a mean piano. He's also a noted inventor, designing and building pre-amps for the boutique bass builders Fodera. But really he's a bassist; and not surprisingly, a skilled, er... pontif--icator on both electric and acoustic.

Dino Govoni: In the Library
by Dan McClenaghan
Like a skilled prose writer, saxophonist Dino Govoni gives you a good straight ahead story, a linear narrative, with stylistic asides, subtle and wonderful surprises.

Marcelle Gauvin: The Edge of the Pond
by Jack Bowers
Another fine young singer enters what has suddenly become an overcrowded arena with a large number of newcomers striving to become the next Ella, Sarah or Billie.

Don Braden/Dave Liebman/Dan Moretti: Latin Genesis
