Deborah Silver: Deborah Silver with the Count Basie Orchestra: Basie Rocks!
by Jack Bowers
Basie Rocks! A great idea? One best left on the cutting-room floor? Or perhaps a little of both? There are reasonable arguments to be made on all sides of the equation. On the one hand, this is the one and only Count Basie Orchestra, swinging in its own exceptional way. On the other, the orchestra has ...
Peter & Will Anderson: The Best of Berlin
by Jack Bowers
Brothers Peter and Will Anderson's latest album, The Best of Berlin, has nothing to do with geography and everything to do with memorable music. The Berlin referenced here has a forename, Irving, a Berlin who happens to be one of the foremost writers of popular songs in the 20th century. Using skillfulness and style, the Anderson ...

Visions Jazz Ensemble: Across the Field
by Jack Bowers
Here is a unique and intriguing concept: a baker's dozen collegiate anthems and fight songs, trimly recast in contemporary jazz settings by the seven-member Visions Jazz Ensemble, comprised of Indiana University alumni who stride Across the Field with an abundance of proficiency and perception. Although the hip arrangements by the ensemble's co-leaders, trumpeter ...
Michael Dease: Found in Space - The Music of Gregg Hill
by Bill Milkowski
The title itself is revealing. A clever play on words of the old '60s sci-fi show Lost in Space, it immediately suggests an irreverent wit and slightly twisted perspective; qualities that also permeate the unique music of prolific Michigan-based composer Gregg Hill. How this fairly obscure presence on the national music scene has managed ...
