by
Bill Evans
A classic of its kind. For this Verve project, Conversations With Myself, Bill Evans recorded three piano parts via overdubbing. Aptly titled, the music on this CD reissue has a surprising amount of spontaneity, with Evans constantly reacting to what he had just recorded, and the results are sometimes haunting. The highlights include "How About ...

All too often, straight-ahead jazz has, in recent decades, been a victim of terrible marketing. Trying to give jazz snob appeal doesn't work -- it merely ghettoizes and segregates the music -- and those going around calling jazz "America's classical music" only further the misconception that it can only appeal to a small group of intellectuals. ...

Steve Kolander's second album, Pieces of a Puzzle, expands on his new traditionalist and progressive country leanings by boasting a tougher, leaner sound and a set of heart-felt, personal songs that manage to push the boundaries of honky-tonk and country-folk. Kolander rarely slips over the course of Pieces of a Puzzle. Throughout the album, he ...

With his odd, angular piano style full of endless stops and spaces and baffling chordal resolutions, not to mention his unique circular compositions, Thelonious Monk was bop's mad scientist, an image that tended to confuse his absolute genius with the trappings of mere eccentricity. Monk was Monk, pure and simple, and if what one saw wasn't always ...
