<description><![CDATA[The cover art is descriptive of the recording's music--gentle brushstrokes of pastel colors portraying a picturesque vista of tranquility. This visual is indicative of what's in store from pianist Danilo Perez's most challenging release to date, Across the Crystal Sea.

A pianist whose tenure with the Wayne Shorter Quartet (e.g., Beyond the Sound Barrier (2005, Verve Music)) is etched in modern jazz. Born in Panama and living in Boston, Perez is also a leader/composer whose recordings have earned him acclaim and awards in Latin jazz (including a Grammy). But he doesn't seem to be resting on past laurels as he is quoted, "My experience with Wayne has taught me to go to unknown places...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The venerable trio tradition has long been viewed as a proving ground for the talents of upcoming tenor saxophonists. Thrust into the spotlight with minimal accompaniment, the stripped-down setting provides microscopic attention to an improviser's melodic ingenuity, harmonic subtlety and sense of rhythm; free of harmonic restraints, there is no room for error...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Connotations of a Drunk Butterfly might sound like a humorous proposition, especially when depicted in a cartoon. But art doesn't necessarily imitate art within this 2008 trio release. Sure, the trio embarks upon a few off-kilter flight patterns. However, the musical aspects present numerous examples steeped within the bop, or free-bop scheme of things. And with three highly revered New York area artists spinning a web of excitement, the music and overall effect convey a democratic engagement that occasionally projects a spiraling trajectory...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Mauger, which is a word defined simply as "in spite of or in opposition to, notwithstanding," begs the questions as to what this marvelous trio opposes. It's definitely not creativity or cooperation. Rudresh Mahanthappa, Mark Dresser and Gerry Hemingway make music in spite of the dumbing down of the popular music culture, notwithstanding the current trends in the market. It makes no difference what title this band chooses, its bold effort stands alone as a stellar piece of originality and inventiveness...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The consequences of investigating a debut recording are often unknown. In the case of saxophonist Noah Preminger the result is, quite simply, positive. He is a player who invests much thought into his playing. He is rich in churning dense, atmospheric forms with an occasional composition having a lighter ambience. Whatever the stance, the underlying appeal is constant...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With the release of this first "real" solo album, Dominique DiPiazza crowns one of the most remarkable jazz comebacks in recent memory. Seventeen years ago DiPiazza was tapped by guitarist John McLaughlin to take part in his still-evolving rotation of the world's greatest electric bassists. A year later, DiPiazza's career path diverged completely, only to be revitalized in 2000 with the release of the Front Page (Emarcy/Universal) collaboration with guitarist Bireli Lagrene and drummer Dennis Chambers. Increased live appearances and sideman activity followed, recently showcased in bass-centric circles by performances with McLaughlin's most recent discovery, Hadrien Feraud, on that bassist's self-titled Dreyfus Records debut...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It would be quite a feat to have traveled in Kenny Barron's shoes. A venerable pianist whose career has spanned more than fifty years of performances with a host of greats--Lee Morgan, Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard, Yusef Lateef, Charlie Rouse and many others. His music has traveled across the paths of blues, bop, modern, and other terrains. Whether working with vocalists such as jazz diva, Abbey Lincoln or taking Brazilian music excursions in Canta Brasil (Sunnyside Records, 2002), Barron has covered a lot of ground and done so impressively...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Swedish band Oddjob have been together since 2002, ploughing a melodic and groove-centric furrow built on the electric jazz-fusion of the 1970s, and staying the right side of "ambient" thanks to the brio and creativity which they bring to the music. On Sumo--their fourth album and ACT debut--the band have widened their sights to include funk, rare groove, chill-out and late 1960s psychedelic rock. It's a sonorous and playful mixture which is practically guaranteed to raise the listener's spirits...]]></description>

Performed exquisitely by the Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra, with vocals mostly by Faye Carol as Harriet Tubman, but also by drummer Kenny Washington, Jeannine Anderson, and Joseph Mace, Tubman's story is brought to life in music and words...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Following Roy Campbell's Akhenaten Suite and Bill Dixon's 17 Musicians in Search of a Sound: Darfur, bassist William Parker's Double Sunrise Over Neptune is the third release from AUM Fidelity this year to document premiere performances from the 2007 Vision Festival. Heavily influenced by West African, Middle Eastern, and East Asian traditions, this two-part suite is a prime example of Parker's concept of universal tonality--a kaleidoscopic tour-de-force that encapsulates the festival's multicultural aesthetic...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Beautiful and absorbing though most of them are, Charles Lloyd's discs on ECM, with whom the reed player has been recording for almost twenty years, have tended to overshadow the wonderful albums he made with the Charles Lloyd Quartet for Atlantic forty and more years ago. 

With Atlantic, Lloyd notched up eight LPs recorded in the three years from 1966--radical discs which reflected the youth zeitgeist like no other jazz outfit--before the quartet imploded in the face of mutual suspicion and predatory rival bandleaders. That the music was instrumental and acoustic--without a Fender Rhodes or bass guitar in sight--made the achievement more remarkable...]]></description>

<link>http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=30328</link>
<description><![CDATA[The debut album by British guitarist Mike Walker is surprisingly short, around forty five minutes, which is actually a good thing considering it seems an almost mandatory requirement nowadays to cram a full eighty minutes worth of sound into every CD, all of which is not necessarily worth hearing. Quality rather than quantity is the keyword here. This, however, is a well-considered six track sortie, with an unusual opener, The Latin-edged "A Real Embrace," evoking a very early Return to Forever, Antonio Carlos Jobim or even Hatfield and The North. Strangely, for a guitarist's first album under his own name, there is only a mere whiff of very subtle acoustic guitar heard on this track, with some relaxed Stan Getz-style sax soloing. Some unobtrusive strings are also thrown into the mix but never become cloying...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The relentlessly cooking and very original Live At The Jazz Factory is the third album from violinist Zach Brock's band, The Coffee Achievers, following their eponymous 2003 debut on Secret Fort and Chemistry (Secret Fort, 2005). 

 The violin in jazz, especially that of the mainstream, can't get no respect, despite Regina Carter's 2006 MacArthur Award. Brock wishes to remedy that situation, composing and playing jazz that is mainstream by default, only because it is not avant-garde. Indeed, Orbert Davis is quoted as saying that Brock is ..."not just a violinist who plays jazz, but a jazz musician who happens to play the violin...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If ever there were a supporting case for the importance of mentoring in jazz, it would be Aaron Parks. The pianist began playing with trumpeter Terence Blanchard in 2003 at the age of 18 and, over the course of three albums culminating in last year's deeply moving A Tale of God's Will (Blue Note, 2007), has grown into a mature player whose early promise is already being realized. With inimitable technique and open ears, he seems to have bypassed the youthful peril where technique is the end rather than the means. On his debut as a leader, Parks proves himself a player and composer of great depth, with a truly cinematic vision that embraces the challenge of complexity as much as it does the demand of creating simple, evocative melodies...]]></description>

Then came Woody Aplanalp (guitar), Famoudou Don Moye (drums) and John Lindberg (drums). Smith had changed the line-up to give shape to his music. The current edition of the quartet retains Lindberg, but has Vijay Iyer (piano, Fender Rhodes, synthesizer) and Shannon Jackson (drums). As with the earlier tandems, Tabligh's every member is a loquacious improviser...]]></description>

He is as much at home in avant-garde and free explorations as he is in giving the mainstream a new sparkle, and for a time, even tinkering with electronics. The call to experiment is ever present, wrapped compactly into the history of jazz...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Born Under A Wand'rin' Star is jazz vocalist Mary Ann Hurst's third go-around and she remains a star waiting to be discovered. The constants that are evident in all her efforts are a quality presentation of the Great American Songbook and her always being surrounded by fine musicians.

Hurst opens Born Under A Wand'rin' Star with a polite samba version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "It Might As Well Be Spring," assisted by the nimble and simpatico Rick Stone on guitar.

Local retailers as well as the megastores all carry the disc, but it'll be found under "F" for Foxboro Hot Tubs. It seems that in 2007, while starting to work on the follow-up to American Idiot (Reprise, 2004), Billy Joe Armstrong and company decided that it might be fun to record a cool song that would guarantee airplay on Little Steven's Underground Garage radio show and, in all probability, not much more...]]></description>
