Jon RossReviews BooksEverybody Hurts by Leslie Simon, Trevor Kelly[28.Sep.07] :. This book, while witty at times, suffers from a burning desire to be cool.  MusicChris Byars: Photos in Black, White and Gray[23.Aug.07] :. Though the CD bears his name, saxophonist Byars allows his quartet to solo, at length, on each of the album’s eight tracks. This could be an asset, but the musicians sound like they’re wandering through each instrument, trying to grab inspiration from the air.  MusicMaynard Ferguson: On a High Note: The Best of the Concord Jazz Recordings[13.Aug.07] :. On a High Note is an amalgamation of standards recorded by Maynard Ferguson’s Big Bop Nouveau over the past 15 years.  MusicWolfgang Muthspiel and Brian Blade: Friendly Travelers[7.Aug.07] :. Friendly Travelers is an album of contrasts. Looped effects and speeding arpeggios add a needed grit to the album’s overall pleasant aura.  MusicArturo Sandoval: Rumba Palace[16.Jul.07] :. Arturo excises technical fireworks for an album of danceable big band charts.
