Géraldine Laurent - Time Out Trio (2007)

"French Jazz saxophonist and composer Geraldine Laurent began her studies on piano but switched to saxophone around at 13. After receiving her jazz D.E.M. diploma and master's in musicology, she began performing with her own group as well as a wide array of musicians. Formidable, as her compatriots would say. Time Out Trio, her debut album, introduces a bare knuckle force, well-versed in the jazz tradition but not afraid to put her own abandoned spin on it by among others reinventing the standards and hidden masterpieces by Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman and Wayne Shorter ....

Peter Epstein/Brad Shepik/Matt Kilmer - Lingua Franca (2005)

A terific album from 2005. It was recorded live with no overdubs nor anything else by alto/soprano saxophonist Peter Epstein, guitarist Brad Shepik and percussionist Matt Kilmer. Here's a review by Mr. Scott Yanow:
" ... This unusual trio, comprised of altoist Peter Epstein (occasionally doubling on soprano), guitarist Brad Shepik, and percussionist Matt Kilmer, works quite well, sounding very complete. Epstein is generally melodic, Shepik's versatility and wide range of sounds are major assets, and Kilmer keeps the backgrounds colorful. Some of the playing hints at world music and one number has a reggae rhythm, but the music overall is modern post-bop jazz, with each of the musicians being of equal importance. There are no dull or predictable moments along the way and this sparse format brings out the best in all three players ..."

Joey DeFrancesco - Plays Sinatra His Way (2004)

" ... Joey DeFrancesco plays nine well-known standards on this date, some of which are more closely associated with Sinatra than others. Actually, the Sinatra connection is basically irrelevant, for DeFrancesco swings in his usual fashion. Teamed with tenor saxophonist Houston Person (who is up for the challenge), guitarist Melvin Sparks, and drummer Byron Landham, DeFrancesco rips through a very uptempo version of "Pennies from Heaven," adds soul to "Teach Me Tonight," cooks on "What Now My Love," is relatively relaxed on "Don't Worry 'Bout Me," and duets with Person on a sensitive version of "Angel Eyes." As usual on a Joey DeFrancesco date,everything works." (Scott Yanow- AMG)
