Featured Artist: The Fred Hersch Trio

CD Title: Live at the Village Vanguard

Song Title: Bemsha Swing

Record Label: Palmetto

Style: Straight-Ahead / Classic

Bemsha Swing - Real Audio

Track Description: This Fred Hersch fellow has really made the rounds, aside from his many discs as a leader, he's performed with Gary Burton, Joe Henderson, Janis Siegel, Johnny Mathis (!) and Jane Ira Bloom. Here, Hersch is the leader of the pack, and boy does it sound good, maybe good enough to be a contender for one of The Best Discs of '02. This guy is unfailingly lyrical, in the manner of key-masters Hank Jones, George Cables, Tommy Flanagan, et. al., but he has a definite "modernist" [post-bop] approach.

Featured Artist: The Rippingtons

CD Title: Modern Art

Song Title: Paris Groove

Record Label: Peak Records

Style: Smooth Jazz

Listen: Paris Groove - Quicktime

Track Description: The Rippingtons’ 18th release features an explosive lineup lead by founder Russ Freeman with special guests including smooth Jazz trumpet icon Rick Braun, Dave Karasony, Bill Heller, as well as new bassist Rico Belled and special guest, returning saxophonist Jeff Kashiwa. Modern Art breaks new stylistic ground, incorporating exotic world music elements on the sensuously romantic, acoustic guitar driven “Paris Groove” and adds an Eastern authenticity to the hypnotic “Black Book” with an electric sitar. With the sizzling interaction between Freeman’s slow burning electric guitar and Kashiwa’s wild sax improvisations, the easy grooving “One Step Closer” and bluesy “Body Art” will remind longtime fans of the band’s glory days of the '90s, but with a souped up twist! The Rippingtons, whose first lineup included future contemporary Jazz superstars Dave Koz, Kenny G and David Benoit, dominated the instrumental and urban Jazz landscape from the late ‘80s on with their often exotically titled hit recordings.

Featured Artist: The Vandermark 5

CD Title: Airport for Lights

Song Title: Money Down (for Roland Kirk)

Record Label: Atavistic

Style: Free Jazz / Avante Garde

Money Down (for Roland Kirk) - MP3

Track Description: The Vandermark 5's first studio album in two years (and the first waxed with drummer Tim Daisy) further integrates and resolves the potent musical ideas & structural complexities that surfaced on their previous effort, 2001's experimental Acoustic Machine.

Superbly saturated to 2" analog by Shellac's Bob Weston (also at the helm on Spaceways Inc.'s recent Version Soul album), Airports For Light trades in a more palpable, effortless swing than past V5 efforts. Our favorite standard bearers' mastery over their own post-modern ballads has dramatically increased as well, providing a more confident command of the "quieter" moments & myriad compositional challenges.
