The Vinyl Anachronist

Juan Carlos Quintero, Table for Five! | The Vinyl Anachronist

March 8, 2022 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Juan Carlos Quintero, Table for Five! | The Vinyl Anachronist

Sometimes I see the structures underneath my contemporary jazz reviews veer toward the formulaic. I realized that when I reviewed the new album from guitarist Juan Carlos Quintero, Table for Five! A casual listen would have […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Kristin Callahan, Lost in a Dream | The Vinyl Anachronist

May 27, 2021 Marc Phillips 1

I feel like it’s been a while since I last heard a new female voice album that I really like. At the same time, I realize I’ve been awfully critical of the average audiophile’s obsession […]

CeCe Gable, More Than a Song | The Vinyl Anachronist

August 25, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on CeCe Gable, More Than a Song | The Vinyl Anachronist

What is it about the female voice? What makes it so vital to audiophiles, so effective at telling us everything we need to know about our audio systems? Over the years I’ve brought this up […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Wayne Alpern, Standard Deviation | The Vinyl Anachronist

May 28, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Wayne Alpern, Standard Deviation | The Vinyl Anachronist

The contemporary jazz scene is almost evenly divided between original compositions and covers from the Great American Songbook. When something falls outside of those two groups, what does that music sound like? I feel like […]

Jenny Davis, Rearranged | The Vinyl Anachronist

May 16, 2020 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Jenny Davis, Rearranged | The Vinyl Anachronist

I must admit to a slight bias against jazz performers, arrangers and composers who try to write original songs that sound just like classics from the Great American Songbook. These otherwise talented people fall short […]

Jeff Hamilton Trio, Catch Me If You Can | The Vinyl Anachronist

May 4, 2020 Marc Phillips 3

What, another piano trio? I thought I was done with those last week! It’s funny how all these contemporary jazz releases keep arriving in clusters according to jazz genre. I love piano trios, and for […]

Gloria Reuben and Marty Ashby, For All We Know | The Vinyl Anachronist

March 16, 2020 Marc Phillips 1

Back when I watched the television show ER faithfully, before they started killing off all my favorite characters, I had a massive crush on actress Gloria Reuben. I saw something in her eyes, a mixture […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Judy Wexler, Crowded Heart | The Vinyl Anachronist

July 10, 2019 Marc Phillips 2

Judy Wexler, Judy Wexler. Where do I know that name? Turns out we’ve been friends on Facebook for quite a long time, a mutual friend of both audiophiles, audio reviewers and other musicians/performers, people most […]

The Vinyl Anachronist

Beata Pater, Tet | The Vinyl Anachronist

July 6, 2019 Marc Phillips 1

There’s a huge pile of recordings of female vocalists on the coffee table in my listening room right now, and Beata Pater‘s Tet has been sitting there for months, unnoticed. That was a mistake since […]

Anthony Caceres, Something’s Gotta Give | The Vinyl Anachronist

June 3, 2019 Marc Phillips Comments Off on Anthony Caceres, Something’s Gotta Give | The Vinyl Anachronist

I’ve tackled the issue of bassist/leaders in jazz before, something that can be expanded to include drummers as well. My idea is that a leader who comes from the rhythm section pays more attention to […]
