Glenn Zaleski

Reveal reunites Wiening once again with her longtime working band: tenor saxophonist Rich Perry, pianist Glenn Zaleski, guitarist Alex Goodman, and bassist Johannes Felscher. They are joined on three tracks by esteemed trumpeter and Greenleaf founder Dave Douglas, a fervent supporter throughout Wiening’s career. Multi-faceted and intriguing, moving and exhilarating, the album is ultimately exactly what the title promises: a revelation.

Summer walks in Brooklyn's Prospect Park led Glenn Zaleski and his wife to the sanctuary of The Vale of Cashmere, a small, secluded pond densely populated with flowering trees.

Hear & Now expresses the energy and emotions of the early 21st century human experience. There is an inherent dichotomy to life today. The income gap is widening, digital and real-life are becoming more integrated, and at the same time are more isolating. All the while, there is a looming feeling of history's tragedies rearing their ugly, cyclical, heads. The compositions on Hear & Now" take the listener on a journey from high energy, to self- reflection, and looking ahead to a brighter future.

Taking on board a bassist as exceptional as John Patitucci (Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter), guitarist Yotam Silberstein’s new album is like a great voyage, which draws inspiration from a multitude of musical traditions. Alternating the accordion and piano of the Brazilian prodigy Vitor Gonçalves and the piano and Fender Rhodes of the rising star of the New York City jazz scene Glenn Zaleski, his quartet completed by the Israeli drummer Daniel Dor (ex-Avishai Cohen Trio) forges a nomadic and virtuoso repertoire, with stopovers in numerous territories and with a predilection for South America, Brazil in particular. Vibrant and inspired, “Future Memories”, in his own words the most personal recording of Yotam Silberstein's career, reveals itself to be like a series of windows open onto the beauties of the world and the memory of the emotions they evoke in each of us. A profound and majestic album, by one of the major guitarists on the international scene today.

The world is remarkable in that people from far off places and different walks of life can have an immediate, dramatic impact on each other after meeting just once. The notion of meeting a newcomer who embraces new people and ideas but also freely puts forth his own ideas is the theme of guitarist Davy Mooney and drummer Ko Omura’s new recording, Benign Strangers. Originally from New Orleans, Mooney is a longtime regular on the New York scene and, for the past year, he has been teaching at his alma mater, the University of North Texas in Denton. Mooney’s two Sunnyside releases, Perrier Street and Hope of Home, highlight his fantastic playing and composing with an incredible cast of musicians graced with the New Orleans magic, including saxophonist John Ellis, pianist Jon Cowherd and drummer Brian Blade.

Woodwind multi-instrumentalist Roxy Coss swings her way into the hearts and minds of jazz fans everywhere with "Chasing the Unicorn, her first release for Posi-Tone. Coss plays and composes in a voice which distinguishes her from her peers, and illuminates a path rife with intrigue. She raises the bar with an exciting and bold program of original compositions and arrangements and takes us along on a melodic adventure through a harmonic wonderland of her own creation. Also traveling along on this musical journey is the sturdy and inventive companion rhythm section of pianist Glenn Zaleski, guitarist Alex Wintz, bassist Rick Rosato and drummer Jimmy Macbride.

Never underestimate a jazz musician's capacity for drawing on material from vastly different sources, deflating the ostensible dissimilarities, and producing vibrant sounds that don't hew to convention or expectations. From the music's early years, resourceful artists have been confounding audiences and critics alike by putting their stamp on anything that strikes their fancy, from gutbucket blues to pop ditties to art songs, and everything in between, ultimately leaving no stone unturned. Michael Dease's Father Figure, the trombonist's third disc for the Posi-Tone imprint in as many years, offers interpretations of Charlie Parker's "Confirmation" and Meredith Willson's "Marian The Librarian." Between Dease's arrangements and a fine band of young players, the bebop standard and the fluffy, endearing show tune from The Music Man sound as if they were meant to be on the same recording.
