Marc Cary
Marc Cary stands on an unshakable reputation as pianist dedicated to the craft. His fresh styling shows his expansive vocabulary. Cary's earnest orientation towards jazz, where much of his musical foundation lies, proves that he has internalized the idiom. Take his seminal masterwork, Rhodes Ahead Vol 1., released in 2000, is considered by many to be a classic; the Fender Rhodes-laden record signifies 70s free jazz, where the electric piano was oft-times the sonic weapon of choice. This time around, Cary is going retro and returning to a full acoustic setting. With the FOCUS Trio, featuring Samir Gupta on tabla and drums and David Ewell on bass, Cary's current vision is to bring together East Indian, West African and Native America musical traditions together in an all acoustic setting and blending it into African-American musical culture: jazz

Roy Hargrove: Bern
by Jack Kenny
Roy Hargrove was a unifying figure in jazz. He could move fluidly between straight-ahead bebop, hard bop, ballads, hip-hop, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and neo-soul without ever seeming to compromise his musical identity. This album, Bern, issued for the first time as a posthumous release, is a spectacular marker of a band playing at the highest ...
