AVATAR - GONZALO RUBALCAB

Cuban-born pianist/ composer Gonzalo Rubalcaba’s follow-up to the Latin jazz Grammy Award-winning “Supernova” finds him working in a quintet setting with Marcus Gilmore, Matt Brewer, Yosvany Terry and Mike Rodriguez. These seven tunes share an impressionistic vibe within frameworks that suggest a good deal of improvisational latitude. “Peace” is a sustained meditation between Rubalcaba […]

THROUGH THE WINDOW OF A TRAIN - BLUE HIGHWAY

When it came time to record its eighth album, Blue Highway decided to hunker down at storied Maggard Sound in Big Stone Gap, Va., hoping to conjure the magic that Ralph Stanley and others have made there. History will show that the group made a fine decision. Self-penned and self-produced, the album builds on […]

MY LIFE’S BEEN A COUNTRY SONG - CHRIS CABLE

The fourth studio album by talented Nashville hunk Chris Cagle starts strong and rhythmic: heartland country-rocker (and current chart hit) parsing several competing definitions of the adjective “gone”; funny talking-blues-inspired country-rocker about a barfly who requests everything but love songs; boy-is-back-in-town country-rocker funky enough to pass for Big & Rich. Beyond that, the power […]

SIMPLE PLAN - SIMPLE PLAN

At first glance, Simple Plan’s teaming here with A-list producers Max Martin and Nate “Danja” Hills appears to be a move born of desperation: a last-ditch effort to compete with the younger, prettier dance-pop stars more capable of keeping up with the times than a rusty old pop-punk band. (That’s not a new role […]

THE GEOGRAPHY OF LIGHT - CARRIE NEWCOMER

Though this is her 11th Rounder album, you could be forgiven for thinking of Carrie Newcomer as a newcomer herself. The singer-songwriter is deeply rooted in her native Indiana, and she finds artistic inspiration and personal comfort in the Midwest. She may be a regional artist, but she has a universal vision and appeal. […]

ROOTS & GROOVES - MACEO PARKER

The first half of the legendary saxman’s two-disc live set with Germany’s WDR Big Band is a rollicking tribute to Ray Charles. The second half goes — and let’s turn it over to Maceo Parker here — “Back to Funk,” and the two sides demand, with equal ferocity, that you get out of your […]

THE RISE & FALL OF RUBY WOO - THE PUPPINI SISTERS

The three music school grads in this daffy London-based trio have a longer memory than their demographic peers in the Pipettes. Rather than revive the sounds of ’60s-era girl-group pop, the Puppini Sisters bring back the close-harmony ’40s-era stylings of the Andrews Sisters, precarious hairdos and all. As on their 2006 debut, “Betcha Bottom […]
