Bol Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Does anyone know? I used to love picking up one or two of his releases a year -- from Blue Note and Venus. I wonder why he has stopped recording. And now that I am on the W. Coast, I no longer get to see him perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Nobody is really recording much these days. Look at the latest new releases from... well, *any* label. Jazz, blues & classical are all suffering from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) His last disc as a leader (piano duos w/ Renee Rosnes) was released in 2010, which isn't too long ago all things considered. Seems like he gigs regularly out east. It appears he's had some TV gigs as well. Nice work if you can get it.

Steve Reynolds Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Nobody is really recording much these days. Look at the latest new releases from... well, *any* label. Jazz, blues & classical are all suffering from this. Certain artists record like there is no tomorrow, certainly most jazz musicians get their music released on independent labels with results that vary wildly. Many have releases on multiple labels. Take a look, for example, at Jon Irabagon's very large discography. He is an active NY jazz musician who is much less well known than Charlap yet he is very heavily involved in recordings, gigs, etc as are many, many other jazz musicians who are rarely mentioned on this board.

ValerieB Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 as others have said, he definitely gigs around NYC. i'm looking forward to hearing him on next year's Jazz Cruise where he will play with his trio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
