Kirk Knuffke / Joe McPhee Quartet + 1: Keep The Dream Up
by Mark Corroto
Synergy might be the best way to describe the result of this assemblage of musicians. Cornetist Kirk Knuffke and saxophonist Joe McPhee combine their various ensembles to create an effect much greater than the sum of their separate parts. Knuffke has worked extensively with bassist Michael Bisio in duo and trio formats, plus in the bassist's quartet Accortet. Likewise Bisio and McPhee have a lengthy relationship, performing in settings from duos to quintets. Add to the mix drummer Jay Rosen, ...

by John Sharpe
Back in 2001 when reedman Michael Marcus' trio waxed a disc under the title Blue Reality (Soulnote, 2002), he could scarcely have imagined the circumstances under which he might resurrect the name. As the four masked faces on the cover of Blue Reality Quartet! show, times are sadly very different. Joining Marcus in the studio in November 2020 are and drummer Jay Rosen from the original date, multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee and percussionist Warren Smith. A plethora of connections informs the ...

by Alberto Bazzurro
Il sessantasettenne trombettista newyorchese Brian Groder, alla testa di un trio coi fiocchi, confeziona uno di quegli album che rappacificano con la storia del jazz e le sue diramazioni. Solido quanto scevro da ogni banalità o facile aggancio con tracciati troppo battuti, Luminous Arcs, inciso alla fine del 2018 e uscito giusto un anno dopo, è infatti uno di quei lavori capaci di mantenere i piedi saldi per terra, memori di una tradizione che non si fa ...
read moreJay Rosen: Songs for Samuel
by Derek Taylor
Dedicated to Jay Rosen's recently deceased father Samuel, this solo date carries an abiding air of necessary solemnity. But as he asserts in his notes, Rosen's wish was to celebrate his father's living rather than lament his passing. The disc's dozen tracks do just that in dynamic fashion, relying on a kit augmented by peripheral devices like a propeller, organ pipes, and xylophone in addition to the usual battery of snare, toms, cymbals, chimes, etc.
Rare for a ...

by Glenn Astarita
Jay Rosen is rapidly becoming a drummer of choice within New York City’s fertile modern jazz/improv scene. Rosen has been involved on numerous sessions for the C.I.M.P label despite the fact that the liners indicate he is not the house drummer for the label. Yet the artist mans the helm on this recent release titled, Canticles For The New Millennium, featuring West Coast woodwind specialist, bandleader and composer Vinny Golia, trumpeter Paul Smoker and frequent collaborator, saxophonist Mark Whitecage.

read moreThe Ivo Perelman Quartet: Sieiro
by Glenn Astarita
Listening to tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman is sort of like watching a heavyweight boxing match. Perelman exudes power and bravado from his horn with all the charisma of a heavyweight champ. From the opening moments of “Sieiro” we hear Perelman blowing furiously, especially in the upper registers of his instrument. On his latest, Sieiro Perelman receives fine support from the venerable New York based modern-free jazz rhythm section of drummer Jay Rosen and bassist Dominic Duval. Along with the excellent ...
