Letizia Gambi: Blue Monday

Read "Blue Monday" reviewed by James Nadal


As the world continues to shrink--musically speaking of course--the melding of American jazz with Mediterranean melody is another spin cycle that makes appreciation of this evolving art form so interesting. With high expectations, Neapolitan vocalist Letizia Gambi, which hails from a theatrical family, and has extensive jazz education, releases Blue Monday, an exuberant and ambitious production that takes jazz on a romantic Italian holiday. After a collaboration with drummer extraordinaire Lenny White in 2009 led to “Introducing Letizia ...

Gil Goldstein: Under Rousseau's Moon: Live at the Blue Note

Read "Under Rousseau's Moon: Live at the Blue Note" reviewed by John Kelman


Instrument endorsements have become standard fare in CD liner notes. On pianist/accordionist Gil Goldstein's first album as a leader in nearly fifteen years, they say that “He uses Sibelius Music Writing software and pencils by Rocket Manufacturing --and that's a statement. Always a fine player since emerging on three 1976 albums with guitarist Pat Martino, including the now-classic duet record We'll Be Together Again (Muse, 1976), Goldstein has become equally in demand as a first-call arranger, orchestrator, conductor and producer. ...

Tom Scott: Bebop United

Read "Bebop United" reviewed by John Kelman


He's had a multifaceted career in almost every imaginable area of jazz--not to mention working as a gun for hire on albums by singer/songwriters like Joni Mitchell and Carole King. It's easy to forget that saxophonist Tom Scott actually started out as a jazz traditionalist. While his own albums have leaned more towards fusion and contemporary jazz, the early days of his career found Scott cutting his teeth on albums by Oliver Nelson, Don Ellis and Thelonious Monk.
