Citizen Jazz update

Three reviews of mine in there:

Wajdi Cherif - Phrygian Istikhbar
An excellent album that fuses North African music and jazz seamlessly. I discussed it in English here.

Mark Weinstein - Tudo de Bom
Brasilian jazz recordings of Hermeto Pascoal compositions. Nice moments, but a bit irritating and not that great overall.

Oliver Collette - De l'ombre au crépuscule
I reviewed Collette's first CD fairly negatively (which he didn't much like, obviously). I expect a fairly similar reaction this time around. Maybe when he stops making syrupy soft rock ballads and barely average music, my opinion will change.
