AmoChip Dabney: Not Out of Words (Microchip)new

For anyone familiar with AmoChip Dabney's various stage personas, this all-instrumental improvisational suite for piano is probably the last thing you'd expect to hear. A multi-instrumentalist excelling on saxophones, keyboards and bass, Dabney is the consummate pro.

Combo Westside: Full Bloomnew

It's hard to imagine a place where elements of Latin, reggae, ska and smooth jazz peacefully coexist with covers of "Fly Me to the Moon" and "Bang Bang" (Cher), but that's exactly what Combo Westside has managed to pull off on its debut CD.

Heather Hardy: Get Out of the Roadnew

To say Heather Hardy is to the electric violin as Jimi Hendrix is to the guitar may be a bit of a stretch ... but not by much. The variety of sounds she can coax from her instrument is amazing, and not surprisingly, she uses the violin to lead, support and drive her third release.
