Brent Black runs down Jim Rotondi “Blues for Brother Ray”…

leave a comment

www.criticaljazz.com About a year ago I reviewed a tribute to Ray Charles that was a train wreck from the start. The focus of the release was placed squarely on the arrangements with the complete presentation of the tune best described as some sort of sonic after thought. Consider this the flip side. There is a more laid back feel to this release then one would normally expect. Those familiar w ...Read More

JazzTimes review for Jared Gold “All Wrapped Up”…

leave a comment

jazztimes.com Hammond B3 organ master Jared Gold wastes no time building a head of steam, launching All Wrapped Up with “My Sentiments Exactly,” one of the more driving tracks on his latest CD. Like the other tunes on this entertaining disc, it gives each player plenty of blowing room. It’s a robust reminder of a time when jazz was sociable, and Gold’s light touch makes it cohere. List ...Read More

Ken Blanchard on Jared Gold “All Wrapped Up”….

jazznotesdp.blogspot.com I’ve been listening to more organ music tonight: Jared Gold’s All Wrapped Up.  Gold leads a quartet consisting of Ralph Bowen on tenor sax, Jim Rotondi on trumpet and flugelhorn, and Quincy Davis on drums.  The instrument conspicuous by its absence is the bass.  Is it really jazz if there isn’t the thump of the bass? Well, yes.  Gold has a very vigor ...Read More
