Gregoire Maret – ‘Wanted’

June 23, 2016 By Anthony Dean-Harris

Taking the lead on harmonica is tricky. The instrument is prone to a chirpiness that doesn't typically sustain for a whole album.

Grégoire Maret has often been that special featured player in assorted works, but here on his latest album on Sunnyside, Wanted, his second in front … [Read more...]

Charles Lloyd’s ‘Wild Man Dance’ EPK

April 9, 2015 By Sébastien Hélary

Charles Lloyd’s Twitter byline reads as follows, “Jazz Sax, Composer, Musical Healer”, and the tenor man is nothing short of eccentric as can be attested by the EPK to his April 14th Blue Note Records release aptly named Wild Man Dance.

December 19, 2013 By Anthony Dean-Harris

One major reason why I so enjoy this time at the end of the year is not only to reassess what this past year has looked like musically, not only to be able to look at a multitude of truly great works from great artists and say stuff like "oh, wow, Darcy James Argue gave us another album this year" or "hey, Wayne Shorter came back to Blue Note" and "how do David Weiss and Point … [Read more...]
