Greg Skaff: Ellington Boulevard
by John Kelman
Recording studios can be cold and uninviting places.

Judi Silvano: Let Yourself Go

Judi Silvano: Let Yourself Go
by Jerry D'Souza
Guess it was about time. This is Judi Silvano's first album of standards, and if it need be said, these are the songs her mother loves.

Judi Silvano: Let Yourself Go

Carlos Barbosa-Lima: Frenesi
by John Kelman
When classical performers tackle material from the jazz world, the result can often be something less than one would hope for. The more stringent and what some might call restricted range of interpretation leave little room for overt improvisation. Instead it's all about subtlety, dynamics and delicate phrasing. Consequently, all too often, when a classical player ...
Joan Stiles: Love Call
by Elliott Simon
Joan Stiles' solo piano artfully interprets a clever arrangement of Take the A Train" and perfectly portrays the full range of emotions inherent in Billy Strayhorn's final composition Blood Count." This is after leading an octet in which tenor giant Frank Wess and baritone man Joe Temperley cut loose on Clifford Brown's Daahoud." In addition, the ...
Pablo Aslan: Avantango
