 | Roger Ebacher Quartet/Quintet - Flutation Device & Backyard Carneval
Roger Ebacher is an outstanding flautist and these two releases - 1998's Flutation Device and 2000's Backyard Carneval - are standing monuments to that fact.

|
 | Joel Futterman & Ike Levin - The Present Gift/Lifeline (with Kash Killion)
However, to the initiated, quality avant-garde jazz is the ultimate expression of musical freedom...
|
|
 | Eric Person & Meta-Four - Live At Big Sur
I hate to use clichés, but Eric Person is, as the saying goes, one of jazz's "best kept secrets"...
|
|
 | Cindy Alexander - Smash
'I'm So Sad (That You're Happy)' and 'Jamie' are two of the best modern pop-rock songs you will hear in 2003...
|
|
 | Lynam - Bling! Bling!
'Dixie River Gun Runners' is a frantic, yet utterly compelling bluegrass tune - I never thought I’d write that.
|
 | John Temmerman's Jazz Obsession Quartet - The Power Of Two
They do redeem themselves admirably on their cover of the standard "Nice and Easy," definitely the highlight of this CD...
|
|
 | Buzzie - Are You Feeling Anything Yet?
Songs like 'Beautiful Beautiful', 'My Little World of Love' and 'I'm Inside You' are like manna from heaven for fans of Elvis Costello...
|
|
 | Scott Sylvester - Redemption Center
Everything about 'Redemption Center' -- songwriting, production and packaging -- is as good as it gets.
|
|
 | Takashi Kudo - Red...Black...
As haunting as it is romantic, as dramatic as it is beautiful, this music is full of twists and turns.
|
|
 | Robert Lewis & Frank Duvall - Fearless Jones
They are amazingly tight, so tight that at times their communication seems almost telepathic.
