Shelly Berg
Normally soft-spoken, Shelly Berg can be a real powerhouse when he plays piano. In the past he has shown that he could keep up with Oscar Peterson in his prime, swinging just as hard and with comparable technique while displaying his own musical personality. "Blackbird" generally has slower tempoes (with a couple exceptions) but it is just as ...

Joćo Gilberto
Two of the influential Joćo Gilberto's LPs (Amoroso and Brasil) are combined on this single CD. The former session is pretty definitive with Gilberto interpreting four of Antonio Carlos Jobim's compositions (including "Wave" and "Triste") and four other songs (highlighted by "Besame Mucho," "Estate," and an odd 31-bar rendition of "'S Wonderful"). ...

Various Artists
Jazz Moods: Twilight in Rio is another budget collection by the Concord label from its vast catalog. As such, it is a mixed bag in terms of diversity. There are no dodgy performances here, however, and as a mood-setting piece it fits the bill. The bookend pieces by Charlie Byrd, "Triste" and "Favela," are quite beautiful, as is "Įguas de Marēo ...

Bill Mays Trio
There's beauty in simplicity, and that's the governing logic on pianist Bill Mays' first Palmetto CD (his 11th as a leader). The concept -- songs about summer -- is simple. So's the lineup -- Mays, Martin Wind on bass, and Matt Wilson on drums. Summer Sketches is a soothing piano record, but don't let the placidity fool you. There's a lot of ...

Steve Rudolph
Although Steve Rudolph belongs to the class of jazz musicians who favor a relaxed, lyrical approach to the piano, every now and then he can startle with off-center chords a la Thelonious Monk as on his own "This One's for You, Bud." This technique helps to make the work interesting and keeps the listener alert. Beginning as a trumpet player, ...

Zona Sul will appeal to anyone who fondly remembers the music of Joćo and Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, or even Charlie Byrd.
