Cannot recommend this band's artistry and soul, musically and lyrically, highly enough. If Downbeat awarded eight stars, NoteSpeak 12 would have received eight. PLEASE HAVE A LISTEN!

@NewJazzListener @AllAboutJazz @nprmusic @LaurinDarling @citypaper @phillymag @citywineryphil @changamire @Mr_Anani_ @ClubClef Thank you very much @changamire for hosting me as your guest yesterday so we could discuss @AllAboutJazz as part of discussing...all about jazz. Hope you and Marvin enjoyed it just as much as me. Peace and love, my friends.

Thx @RonKadish: Bassist Quinn Sternberg paints a dreamy portrait of a languid summer evening at home full of snoozing dogs, meandering cats and the natural summer serenade of its title track: Quinn Sternberg: Cicada Songs @ All About Jazz allaboutjazz.com/cicada-songs-q…

With no chord instruments between them and three saxophonists, bassist Mike Downes and drummer Stich Wynston move like madmen to keep @ShuffleDemons moving, and simultaneously swing and rock #AllIn hot as demons: Shuffle Demons: All In @ All About Jazz allaboutjazz.com/all-in-shuffle…

Enormous and sprawling w/ten pieces, most never recorded before and several never performed again, of glorious jazz sound from Brazilian composer and sorcerer @PascoalHermeto (@FarOutRecs) Hermeto Pascoal: Planetario Da Gavea @ All About Jazz allaboutjazz.com/planetario-da-…

"Wedding on the Cyclone" is a perfect fit and description, a marriage made up of different musical cultures whirled together by @DavidKrakauer @kathleentagg w/guitarist Yoshi Fruchter: Mazel Tov Cocktail Party! @ All About Jazz allaboutjazz.com/mazel-tov-cock…

@hippietend Twitter needs an icon much stronger than the love button, my friend. And the language needs words stronger than "Thank you," too. God bless you and yours, sister. Thnx for staying in touch.

@JacopoFerrazza's imaginative Fantásia reflects his romantic sound, his classical (piano) training, his jazz sense of adventure, even a painter's eye for pastel colors and harmony: Jacopo Ferrazza: Fantásia @ All About Jazz allaboutjazz.com/fantasia-jacop…

@AlexanderBirdy @AllAboutJazz Good luck, my friend!

Thanks again, Chris! So appreciate you taking the time to review our sophomore album for @AllAboutJazz Thrilled that you liked it so much!

Writers often want to make great music sound more complicated than excellent tunes swung with power and grace. But sometimes it really is that simple. This is an absolute joy: @AlexanderBirdy: You Are the Light and the Way @ All About Jazz allaboutjazz.com/you-are-the-li…

A Christmas fire in the heart(h), Changing Tides (@iridium_records) revisits with warmth and light music that @christrinidad composed in the Advent season and its spirit of "expectant waiting": Chris Trinidad's Changing Tides album review @ All About Jazz allaboutjazz.com/chris-trinidad…

Blues sound foundational on #Loguslabusmuzikus (@effendirecords) but in the way that @Mingus used the blues: for tone and content but not (bar) structure: JazzLab Orchestra: Loguslabusmuzikus album review @ All About Jazz allaboutjazz.com/loguslabusmuzi…

@extremeflute My pleasure, Bill. This was a real enjoyable listen.

@FunkMutations Thanks so much, Chris!

"Forever" blends intricacies of form and structure (European, Latin American, Caribbean) with emotional blues, elation and release: Great jazz from @extremeflute, #BillMcBirnie and friends: Forever album review @ All About Jazz allaboutjazz.com/forever-bill-m…
