NEW RELEASES
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

Multiple Wammie Award Winner Larry Brown has a brand new CD out entitled "Peace". 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.
