“The alto saxophonist Vincent Herring projects his sound in a strong, centered beam, and even his most intense moments suggest a controlled combustion … Herring should have a higher profile, as he confirms with a smart new album, Night and Day … a contemporary spin on hard-bop.”

On NPR’s “Fresh Air,” noted music critic Kevin Whitehead recently reviewed Ramón Valle’s new album, Take Off, released by IN+OUT Records.

“In the great Cuban tradition, Valle hits his notes with such clarity and strings them together so well, he makes the piano sing.”

Paul Motian Bill Evans Now on vinyl for the first time! In the 1950s, Paul Motian met pianist Bill Evans in New York City after returning home from the Korean War. From the first moment, a special telepathy developed between the two artists.

JULY 2015 Tré Edle Einfalt After the success of their debut Fundamental Music in 2006 (part of the successful Jazzthing Next Generation series), the members of Tré were looking for a return to simplicity. To that end, the trio borrowed from German art writer Johann Joachim Winkelmann (1717–1768), who in turn inspired Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The material on this CD focuses on simplicity in answer to the overloaded art of the Baroque and Rococo periods.
