| New
and Recent Releases : Our reviews of recently
released CDs from a variety of labels, including major
labels, independent, and artist-run labels. We can't
review everything, but we do try to get to most things
that come our way.
Reissues
: Brief reviews and commentary on the latest
reissues from Blue Note, Concord, Verve Music Group,
and Fantasy Records. Old favorites and good things
you may have missed the first time around, reissued,
remastered, repackaged.
Classic
Album Reviews : More like thoughts about
classic jazz albums and the artists that recorded
them. If you aren't familiar with an artist or album,
a classic album review should give you some background
into where the recording fits in the artists' career
as well as a clue as to what to expect. If you are
familiar, you'll probably enjoy reliving your initial
discovery of some of these great albums.
