Here's a dream team for you: flutist Michael McGoldrick and piper John McSherry, both of them founding members of the great trad band Lunasa and both of them world-class players in the traditional style who nevertheless don't mind tweaking tradition once in a while. The wooden flute and the Uillean pipes are a lovely combination: Whereas the Scottish highland pipes are a battle cry, the Uillean pipes are a mournful wail, and their sound blends beautifully with the throaty, woody tone of the Irish flute. McGoldrick and McSherry make the most of that compatibility on this wonderful album, whether galloping headlong through thrilling sets of reels ("Farewell to Connaught," "John Nee's") or echoing each other plaintively on a lament like "Doinna." On several tracks they abandon their primary instruments to play the tin whistle in joyful unison, as they do on the excellent "Donald Blue/Ornette's Trip to Belfast" set (which also features a strange and wonderful guitar solo by Andrew White). Highly recommended to fans of old and new Irish music alike. ~ Rick Anderson Michael McGoldrick At First Light Songs At First Light Music Review Purchase At First Light CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chris Potter Traveling Mercies CD (2002)

Chris Potter gets more and more adventurous. On this follow-up to the strong Gratitude, the tenor and soprano saxophonist beefs up strong writing and heady group interplay with occasional sampled sounds and miscellaneous textures like clavinet and reed organ. True to form, he plays additional wind instruments -- alto flute and bass clarinet in this case -- and isn't afraid of overdubbing them to create lush orchestration, on tracks like "Snake Oil" and "Any Moment Now." On the haunting "Invisible Man" he even doubles the alto flute melody with his singing voice. Not until the fifth track, a Meters-like adaptation of the spiritual "Children Go," do you hear a 4/4 tempo; loping lines over odd meters prevail, with pianist Kevin Hays, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Bill Stewart expertly laying down the edgy grooves. (Like on Gratitude, Hays doubles on Fender Rhodes.) John Scofield contributes tart solos on three tracks, while Adam ...
| | Eric Bibb Sisters & Brothers CD (2004)
At First Light CD music
$13.09 
As its title implies, this is a spiritually based collaboration from three distinct -- even disparate -- yet surprisingly harmonious voices. Mostly, but not entirely acoustic, the trio of rootsy singers trade lead vocals on smooth jazz/blues ("Bessie's Dream"), folk-blues ("Good Stuff"), Delta blues ("Rolling Log"), gospel (an a cappella version of Sister Rosetta Tharpe's "Rock Daniel"), and combinations of those genres. On paper it sounds scattershot, but in actuality this is a thoughtfully paced combination of styles, united by three affecting voices. Eric Bibb's smoother Keb' Mo' approach meshes surprisingly well with Rory Block's more penetrating Delta croon and Maria Muldaur's sassy, sexy, throaty growl. Covers of Jimmy Reed's "Little Rain" and Bob Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody" with Bibb taking lead, and Bill Withers' "Lean on Me" (Muldaur and Block) show ...

| | Brian Lynch Conclave CD (2005)
At First Light album
$14.49
Trumpeter Brian Lynch has often played second fiddle to his Latin jazz A-lister friends. Be it with trombone giant Conrad Herwig, piano luminary Eddie Palmieri, or any of the host of New York Latin jazzers with whom Lynch has collaborated, the most notable records that he has appeared on have him listed after the word "featuring." The Brian Lynch Latin Jazz Sextet features a group of players who are similarly stellar sidemen, who have backed the biggest artists in the genre, but whose names are not often seen in lights. With the release of Conclave, their day in the sun has come. This 2005 release is easily one of the strongest Latin jazz releases of the year. Luis Perdomo ...
