"Peter Paulsen Quintet" by Peter Paulsen Quintet (Instrumental Artist from Pennsylvania)

The brilliant group, Peter Paulsen Quintet, releases a superb collection of instrumental Jazz music on their latest album, "Goes Without Saying." The songs on this album not only have a free flowing form, they also have a smooth vibe with some splendid Jazz styles. This tight knit group has great precision and offers creative originality within their music. The song, "Fee Fi Fo Fum," has a smooth rhythm while the piano gracefully and deftly glides across the keys with a rich melodic tonality. You will like the Avant Garde style of the song, "You Said You'd Call," as the cello takes on a somber and soulful melody. "Compensation," has all the right moves as the horns take the melody while the soft drum brushes and piano complement this wonderful song. If you are looking for the not so typical Jazz compositions, then the terrific album, "Goes Without Saying" is just the album you need to hear as they mix it up with modern touches and Avant Garde modes.

"The House Jazz Concert Series, Volume 1" by Dave Powers (Jazz Artist From Ohio)

The enchanting album, "The House Jazz Concert Series, Vol. 1" by Dave Powers is a collection of Jazz songs played live - in Dave's house no less - by piano, guitar, and drums that have a vibrant, yet genially relaxed energy. "The 'In' Crowd" is a toe-tapping, foot-shuffling song with a soulful energy. "Jitterbug Waltz" is a mellow Jazz waltz with almost mysterious-sounding piano playing along with soft drum brushes and subtle guitar hits. For "Joy Spring" we have a softly spirited Jazz song in which the electric guitar delightfully takes the lead as the piano and drums create a sweet and colorful sound-scape. This album is filled with highly entertaining Jazz songs that definitely have the familiar feel of an impromptu performance while still being overtly professional. If you are a fan of Jazz piano in any form, then "The House Jazz Concert Series, Vol. 1." by Dave Powers is an album you would definitely enjoy.
