I really missed Kurt's website after the discussion forum was taken due to "hacking by Russians" (What is this? The Cold War?!). The forum was a great place to discuss Kurt's work and to chat directly with Kurt. Kurt's website is now back: http://www.kurtrosenwinkel.com/ And he has a new CD out - playing standards, mostly ballads. This is the repertoire I saw him...

Kurt Rosenwinkel, Reflections (Wommusic). From his first recordings in the 1990s, Rosenwinkel's guitar playing has had an element of pensiveness. Regardless of tempo, complexity or adrenalin-fueled collaborators, he radiates the air of a man who won't hurry through even his most complex improvisati...

Like an Ian McEwan short story, guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel can say more in a few lines than most guitarists manage over the course of an entire recording. On Standard Trio: Reflections he inscribes his signature sound on a set of ballads--all classic tunes except for one original. His trio of bassist {{Eric Revis = 18730}} and drummer {{Eric Harland = 16129}} are perfect companions on...

At this point people are thinking not only about their jazz picks of the year, but their picks of the decade, 2000-2009. That's running through my mind as I listen to Mika Pohjola's gorgeous new solo piano recording Great Tunes By My Friends , which highlights the music of Guillermo Klein, Ben Monder, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Chris Cheek, Fernando Huergo, Reid Anderson and Drew Gress. I'm not...

Q-Tip's Return to Grace by John Murph This decade, many a rap and R&B artist, from Missy Elliott to Mya, have seen their albums stalled or put on permanent hold. But Q-Tip’s Kamaal/The Abstract has the dubious distinction of being one of the most delayed hip-hop records in the history of rap, nearly done under by seven long years of corporate hemming and hawing. The story of Kamaal/The Abstract...
