NEW RELEASES
Tony Martucci Washington, DC-based drummer Tony Martucci has released his third recording, "Long Street Charm", which harkens back to his days playing with Hammond organ masters. As Tony himself said, “For the better part of the 1970s, most of my employment was found on the ‘chitlin circuit’ in bands led by organists Bobby Pirece, Don Patterson, Hank Marr, and saxophonist Rusty Bryant. These dark, smoke-filled nightclubs became my university, and these brilliant musicians my professors. All of these bands were based in Columbus, Ohio Many of these clubs were on Long Street, which stretched from the east side all the way to the city limit and beyond. Buy One

Ideals - Steve HerbermanSteve Herberman and his trio stretch out over a set of favorite modern jazz classics and originals ranging in styles, meters and moods. The unique arrangements and extended improvisation coupled with subtle group interplay holds the listeners attention. At the root of Steve's playing is a love of contrapuntal textures, a harmonic approach to improvising and rhythmic diversity. "Ideals" consists of four new original compositions and seven standards with a few surprises. more

A top notch jazz trio recording worthy of your attention features Larry Brown on piano, Kent Miller on bass, and Greg Holloway on drums. Washingtonian magazine says, "Larry Brown is a pianist whose rendering of ballads is particularly moving". Great straight-ahead jazz, reminiscent of the Bill Evans Trio recordings, as well as Oscar Peterson and Vince Guaraldi Trios.
