Take Five With Robert Vermeulen

Read "Take Five With Robert Vermeulen" reviewed by Robert Vermeulen


Meet Robert Vermeulen: “If there is anything better than the off-the-wall humor of the video promo that preceded this Talking Cows album, it is the actual album itself. Yet much more than the humor of it all is the spectacular seriousness of the music: deadly serious, and for those familiar with the high standards ...

Kay Grant / Alex Ward: Fast Talk

Read "Fast Talk" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


It is not often that the human voice is pitted against another human voice expressed through the vibrations of a moist and well-shaven reed of any instrument that has one, let alone a clarinet, which is made of seasoned wood and has the ability of being made to cry and wail just as naturally as another ...

John Butcher / Mark Sanders: Daylight

Read "Daylight" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


There is a visceral energy that drives the music on Daylight and all of this has to do with the wonderful musicality of saxophonist John Butcher and drummer Mark Sanders. From the sense of moist breath that courses through Butcher's horn--as interspersed with breathy growls, guttural smears and sensational squeaks and wails, depending on the emotional ...

Veryan Weston / Ingrid Laubrock / Hannah Marshall: Haste

Read "Haste" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


Veryan Weston is one of the most creative musicians in recent times--or, perhaps, ancient times would be closer to the truth, for what is new emanates from the old and what is old gives birth to the new. Weston presides over this conundrum like a medieval apothecary concocting brilliant and powerful and magical potions that take ...

Wayne Escoffery: The Only Son of One

Read "The Only Son of One" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


Not since the works of bassist Charles Mingus and saxophonist John Coltrane has there been music so charged with emotion and so engulfed in spirituality as The Only Son of One, an album that bleeds with raw sentiment as it bares the soul of its young saxophonist and composer, Wayne Escoffery, and ultimately brings much catharsis ...

Miles Okazaki: Figurations

Read "Figurations" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


Guitarist Miles Okazaki's Figurations is a fascinating document of how musical invention takes place on the spur of the moment. It is not a mad conglomeration of notes that come out in jagged clusters, but a mellifluous harmolodic excursion by four spectacular musicians as they begin to create music on each of their instruments, with their ...

Guillermo Klein y Los Guachos: Carrera

Read "Carrera" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


In his first recording since the magnificent arrangements of music of by Cuchi Leguizamon, Domador de Huellas (Sunnyside 2010), pianist Guillermo Klein has reassembled his main musical vehicle, Los Guachos, for Carrera. Here, Klein once again shows why he is such a master of manipulating the voices of the instruments he uses, bringing out subtle variations ...

Ben Riley: Grown Folks Music

Read "Grown Folks Music" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


Ben Riley is best-described as a drummer who has always been the epitome of great taste, elegance and almost certainly possessed of a higher musical intelligence. There is no better recommendation for this than the fact that Thelonious Monk hired him as a drummer, but if further proof were requested , then all that needs doing ...

Scott Dubois: Landscape Scripture

Read "Landscape Scripture" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


Guitarist, Scott DuBois has taken a masterly turn with Landscape Scripture, an extended piece that carries aural impressions of one of Claude Monet's famous series of paintings, “Haystacks." The renowned French master had conceived of his pastoral exhibit in a series of 25 canvases that looked at the iconic sculptures of hay at different times of ...

Scott Tixier: Brooklyn Bazaar

Read "Brooklyn Bazaar" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


Violinist Scott Tixier is like a young fledgling poised to take off. This is a wondrous sight: arms (the wings) painfully outstretched, neck and, indeed, the whole body arched and on tip-toes, his bow swinging wildly as he flies off into the azure unknown. He is awkward at first; then sure that he will soar and ...
