Read "The Edge of the Pond" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers
August 2, 2002

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. Diana Krall, mostly by virtue of her blonde good looks and sultry demeanor, is the current front-runner among the younger set with Jane Monheit receiving a lot of attention, ...

John Harrison Trio: Roman Sun

Read "Roman Sun" reviewed by Craig W. Hurst

by Craig W. Hurst
April 12, 2002

Roman Sun is a delightful collection of smartly arranged, and deftly performed tunes selected from jazz standards, and the enduring corpus of the Great American Songbook. An original composition, the CD’s title cut, by leader/pianist John Harrison rounds out the ten selections on the recording. Good consistent time, driving swing, tight ensemble, and the inventive soloing ...

Another superb piano trio, this one from the Boston area and comprised of names that were unknown to us but no less impressive than many who are. The pianist, John Harrison III, is a forceful two--handed player who always knows precisely where he has been and where he is going. Drummer Alan Hall and bassist Peter ...

Kaufman / Gertz / Bergonzi: The Line Between

by Jack Bowers
January 1, 2002

I started by reading Charlie Banacos’ liner notes to The Line Between, which probably make perfect sense to musicians but are far too abstruse for my untrained mind. I can pass on the observation that Jerry Bergonzi’s compositions — he wrote everything except “Fourth Ray,” which is a group effort — are “based on a technique ...
