Since we have in part reviewed several Cellar CDs, I want to bring your attention to three brand new releases from Cellar. All three feature artists who are new names to me; all are mainly geared to original compositions, and all swing with authority, as expected from a tradition well established by Cellar Records. Alphabetically, the leaders are Alexander Claffy, bass; Tom Keenlyside, flute; and Sam Kirmayer, guitar. Kudos to Cellar Music for its ongoing insistence on introducing us to worthy young musicians. Give ‘em a listen!
Looking for reviews of current Jazz recordings? Look no further! George Fendel has enjoyed a 28 year career in Jazz radio in Portland, Oregon. He served as the president of the Jazz Society of Oregon for three terms from '87-'90, and currently promotes live concerts at Classic Pianos in Portland.
