Whit Dickey Quartet: Astral Long Form: Staircase In Space
by Mark Corroto
As leader of the Whit Dickey Quartet, the drummer placed total faith in his bandmates for this studio session. The accompanying materials quote Dickey, “I asked them all to not think of time too much; I just wanted them to play, not to follow me or each other." Was that instruction made out of confidence or ...

Michael Bisio Quartet: MBefore

In the dark days of Covid and the lingering return to normality, only a handful of musicians managed to be prolific. Fewer remained relevant.

His own Silt Trio has a very interesting new release, The Bottom, and it's the highlight album on this edition of One Man's Jazz.

If you happen to be a liner note geek you probably have noticed the name Michael Bisio mentioned frequently on album sleeves. Whether the author is the session leader or analyst, the general consensus is the bassist is the cornerstone upon which great music is built.

Tony Malaby, Tania Gill & The Gathering
by Maurice Hogue
I decided to lay out for most of this last episode of 2021 and just let the music roll. There are a couple of new releases in the mix, one from Tony Malaby and a somewhat revamped Sabino and Toronto pianist Tania Gill's Disappearing Curiosities. Definitely check out the great singer, Dwight Trible, and his rendition ...
