There are in effect two albums on this disc by Italian pianist Giovanni Guidi's trio, and whether a listener would prefer to have just one of them will be a matter of personal taste. The duality stems from the presence of guest tenor saxophonist James Brandon Lewis on four of the seven tracks.

Giovanni Guidi: A New Day

Someone with a musical personality as bright as Chance Hayden's does not need much of a reason to throw a party. If past recordings are anything to go by, the fellow is already willing and eager to kick off a fun rocking jam session at the drop of a hat. This particular occasion was sparked by getting his hands on a baritone guitar and imagining how the instrument would probably have been used at its peak of popularity in the '60s. All it took (one presumes) was a few phone calls to some of the good friends he has collected through years of session work, and things came out as breezily as a summer-evening cookout.

Canadian pianist Paul Tobey was on a fast track in 2004, with his debut release on Arkadia Records garnering a Juno Award nomination (the Canadian Grammy) and an eight-record deal with the label. Enter tendonitis, and severe inflation in his forearms that pushed a promising career way back on the back burner. After a two-decade hiatus, Tobey slides that career back up to the front of the stove in 2024, with It's Time, a solo set of (mostly) familiar covers.

If one wanted to capture a 'who's who' snapshot of the jazz icons of the mid-'70s, into the '80s and beyond, one of the best ways to start was to see if they had added their name to the list of artists who recorded and/or released a 'Live at Sweet Basil' collection. The New York City club debuted as a restaurant in 1974 and, within a few years, artists including Art Blakey, Gil Evans, Cecil Taylor, McCoy Tyner, Mal Waldron and others began performing at the compact venue, and had recorded sessions there. One of the first to hit the 'record' button was bassist Ron Carter. Carter recorded this session in 1990 along with three other jazz giants: Art Farmer on both trumpet and flugelhorn, Cedar Walton on piano and Billy Higgins on drums. Carter, Walton and Higgins even returned for yet another recorded session in 1991 (without Farmer that time around.)

Tickled Pink is a beautiful compromise between American Pop and the bossa nova of Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto for the early 1960s. Let’s hope for an entire album. Evocative and provocative, Tickled Pink, the latest single release from Corinne, out now and available everywhere, infuses a modern spin on bossa jazz. She flirts with a pop sensibility, as well as her lyrical romantic subject, yet maintains the integrity of the traditional style. The song is both an instant throwback to another time and a modern classic. With just one listen, your toes feel equally buried in the sandy beaches of Rio ’24 or ’64. Corinne is an old soul who offers both sanctuary to tradition and a pioneering modern style.
