Pablo Aslan: Buenos Aires Tango Standards
by Ivana Ng
The bass is usually an accompanying instrument, but in Buenos Aires Tango Standards, bassist and native Argentinean Pablo Aslan presents the instrument prominently to convey the stealth and sensuality of tango music. When Aslan returned to his native Buenos Aires in 2005 after living in the US for twenty-five years, he found what ...
The Stryker/Slagle Band: Latest Outlook
by Nic Jones
The more time passes, the less often truly exceptional documents of the modern mainstream such as this one seem to come along. Guitarist Dave Stryker and alto and soprano sax man Steve Slagle have been working together for some time and there's abundant evidence of that here in their almost symbiotic understanding. Together they make for ...
The Stryker / Slagle Band: Latest Outlook
by Ernest Barteldes
After last year's Live at The Jazz Standard, the Slagle/Stryker band reconvened in the studio to record a batch of new compositions.

Pablo Aslan: Buenos Aires Tango Standards
by Jerry D'Souza
Pablo Aslan returned to Buenos Aires in September 2005 after a 25-year absence. While there, he became involved with local jazz musicians, many of whom shared his idea of melding jazz with tango.

Ike Turner: Risin' With The Blues
by C. Michael Bailey
Ike Turner received a Grammy® Award for Best Traditional Blues Recording for Risin' with the Blues. Long seen as the failed husband of Tina Turner, and vilified in her biography, I, Tina (1986) and the biopic movie What's Love got to Do with It (1993), Ike Turner is nevertheless one of the most important rock 'n' ...
Rez Abbasi: Bazaar
by Tom Greenland
One of the healthiest trends, it seems, in “our music is a certain restlessness, a dissatisfaction perhaps, with accepting the tradition as is. Rez Abbasi, originally from Pakistan and raised in southern California, now a fifteen-year veteran of the Manhattan scene, is a living embodiment of East-meets-West-meets-East. The music on Bazaar, the guitarist's fifth CD release ...
Hendrik Meurkens: New York Jazz Samba Quintet
by Jerry D'Souza
Hendrik Meurkens was smitten enough by Brazilian music to move to Rio from Germany in the early eighties. He calls this a life-changing musical experience which led him to study the music in depth. A residency at the Bar 21 in Rio helped put theory into practice. He moved to New York from his native Germany, ...
David Bixler: Call It A Good Deal
by Elliott Simon
David Bixler, who is first alto in the Arturo O'Farrill Afro Cuban Jazz Orchestra, fronts his own quintet here to deliver a session that is long on compositional dimensionality and rhythmic backbone. Bixler pairs with Scott Wendholt's razor-sharp trumpet to slice angles through these intricate pieces, and he's not afraid to take a chance with refreshingly ...
Hendrik Meurkens: New York Samba Jazz Quintet
by Jim Santella
The soulful feeling that Hendrik Meurkens puts into his jazz harmonica always brings warmth and sunshine into the room. Here, he's at home with a quintet at Cecil's Jazz Club in West Orange, New Jersey, just having a good time and keeping the fires burning all night long. His embers burn from several directions: from Brazilian ...
