Review: Released in 2000, Poison is the third studio album by Swedish singer-songwriter Jay-Jay Johanson, having earned his place as a stalwart figure thanks to his melancholic vocals set to perspirant trip hop. From 'Believe in Us' to 'Colder,' not to mention the toxicologist's favourite 'Poison,' we're met again with Johanson's signature downtempos and experientially charged lyrics. Sophisticated atmospherics abound, bridging the all-to-intimate gap between sexuality and the unknown.
Review: Rodney Jones' 1978 debut album marked the beginning of his distinguished career as a guitarist. By this time, he had already worked alongside jazz legends like Dizzy Gillespie and Tommy Flanagan while leading his own quartet. On this record, Articulation, Jones is joined by an impressive lineup including Wallace Roney III on trumpet, Arthur Blythe on alto sax, Bob Mintzer on tenor sax and others besides. The track 'Hard New York Swing' features additional musicians Benjamin Brown on drums and Bruce Johnson on bass while Wim van Eyle's liner notes complement the album and offer more insight into this vibrant jazz project.
