Although the Harlem Boys Choir is occasionally utilized, and Pat Peterson takes a soulful vocal on "The Inner Voice," this CD is very much trumpeter Marvin "Hannibal" Peterson's date. The explorative trumpeter is heard at his absolute peak, taking lengthy and fiery improvisations that show off not only his virtuosity but his emotional range. The superlative band (tenor saxophonist George Adams, pianist Kenny Barron, cellist Diedre Murray, bassist Cecil McBee, and drummer Dannie Richmond) really inspires Peterson, who stretches the boundaries of his music toward gospel and soul without watering down the jazz content. This well-balanced set is one of Hannibal's finest recordings.

The instruments meet for the first bars, dialogs are preparing, a sound is established… a demonstration of fine energy and the overture to a wide horizon which leads us to a space between dreamtime and reality… Lebanese composer Toufic who has been residing in Paris for many years now is a master in the art to set up his melodies in scenic way. He fascinates his audience with the way how he constructs each piece as he would construct a film scene.

This is an outstanding album. Reed man Gilad Atzmon has taken five standards, re-interpreting the versions recorded with strings by Charlie Parker, added six of his own compositions, and created an original, supremely enjoyable and affecting piece of work. The album's title refers to an imagined land—the country that Atzmon envisaged when, as a 17 year-old in Israel, he first heard Charlie Parker playing "April in Paris" and fell in love with jazz and America. According to his liner notes, this is not the America that Atzmon sees today, where jazz is no longer a revolutionary music, but it is still the home of his "priests" and "heroes." In Loving Memory of America is a fitting tribute to those artists.

Abdullah Ibrahim (born Adolph Johannes Brand on 9 October 1934 and formerly known as Dollar Brand) is a South African pianist and composer.

Ibrahim is considered the leading figure in the subgenre Cape jazz.

Guitarist Rudy Linka covers a lot of ground on his Enja CD, ranging from straightahead standards and a boppish blues to some dry originals worthy of John Scofield, a bossa nova and "Old & New (Orleans)" which combines parade rhythms with a funky blues. Linka's interplay on this trio set with bassist George Mraz and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith is impressive as is the leader's low-volume yet high-intensity solos.

These songs are dedicated to the Finnish film noir. Films by Matti Kassila, Aki Kaurismäki and Mikko Niskanen have served as an inspiration for the music. This album is not a sound track but rather a reminisce of a certain feeling that each film has left in my mind.

Genre: Jazz | Label: Enja Records

The Lebanese saxophone player and composer Toufic Farroukh has chosen jazz as his favourite idiom - a jazz with the colours of the Orient, to reflect his career as an artist with his roots in two cultures, and one who is open to all the different forms of artistic expression in contemporary society, particularly dance, theatre and the cinema. Cinema Beyrouth is a beautiful interplay of wind instruments in a rich and seductive orchestral arrangement. This polyphonic dialogue engages the listener as soon as the first measure of the CD begins.

In the recent past, there have been very few cases of musicians filling in on short notice for more famous colleagues who became ill and like David Gazarov immediately became stars themselves. The story began in October 2011 after a performance by Jacques Loussier had to be cancelled on very short notice. After a rehearsal of a mere 90 minutes, David Gazarov (born in Azerbaijan, studied in Moscow, currently residing in Zagreb) delighted the Loussier fans. Critics spoke of a worthy successor… .

With ""In between"", is the 8th album that Isabelle Olivier presents: a milestone always so fine, joyful and playful. Isabelle Olivier's work has something totally unique. ""In between"" offers an intimate, rich and very subtle sound exploration. Something more ""penetrated"" than penetrating, in the image of this other figure of the landscape that is ""the edge"": area of contact, which far from being a break, is a bond; which far from being a line is a thickness. The problem of the edge has always been of interest to landscapers. Today, it appears as a primordial societal element to live in a respectful and plural world. Surrounded by exceptional young musicians, she takes you into a magnificent world of humanity. ""I thought In between as a form of an artistic permaculture.
