Twin Talk: Twin Talk Live

Read "Twin Talk Live" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The trio Twin Talk makes music that is best described as stealthfully hip. This Chicago ensemble of drummer Andrew Green, tenor saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi and bassist/vocalist Katie Ernst does not trade in a clamorous and flamboyant sound. Still, in their own way, the trio stands out as expressive and captivating. Their fallaciously titled Twin Talk Live is the trio's third release and it follows Weaver (37d03d, 2019) and a self-titled 2015 disc on Ears&Eyes Records. Each of the ...

Andrew Green: Dime Dancing: The Music Of Steely Dan

Read "Dime Dancing: The Music Of Steely Dan" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


It is not hard to imagine jazz versions of Steely Dan songs, as they are rich in knotty harmonies and dark lyrics that belie their mainstream pop success. But you would probably have to be guitarist Andrew Green to imagine them arranged for chamber ensembles dominated by woodwinds and strings (as well as vocalist Miriam Waks and Green's guitar). Ironically, Green's dramatic departure from the iconic recordings grew out of his love for them: he was convinced that no rock ...

Andrew Green: Narrow Margin

Read "Narrow Margin" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Confesso che sono rimasto un po' spiazzato di fronte ad un disco come Narrow Margin. Da una parte vi è un gruppo di musicisti che anima normalmente la scena nordamericana più creativa e trasversale; dall'altra una musica ben suonata, elegante, a tratti raffinata, ottimamente arrangiata e inserita a pieno diritto nella strada maestra della musica afroamericana. Il punto è proprio questo, il significato dell'ennesima frequentazione - assolutamente legittima, per carità, e assai diffusa nei musicisti d'oltreoceano - di territori musicali ...

Andrew Green: Narrow Margin

Read "Narrow Margin" reviewed by Troy Collins


Commonly known as the author of a popular series of instruction books, including Jazz Guitar Comping, Jazz Guitar Structures and Jazz Guitar Technique, Andrew Green's lesson plans are revered for their basic approach towards complex concepts. His debut album, Narrow Margin, is a similarly understated, though deceptively intricate affair.

Temporarily sidelined by a sprained wrist in 2006, Green devoted his time to writing the multi-layered charts that make up the bulk of this session. During his convalescence, he ...

Andrew Green: Narrow Margin

Read "Narrow Margin" reviewed by J Hunter


Film noir used to be what the Internet is nowadays: something to blame for why the world is going south in a sidecar. Noir films were black and white, but the story lines weren't. The good guys weren't all good, the bad guys weren't always that bad, and the girls with hearts of gold only had them because that's where they kept their cash. And the music was dark... dark like the shadows where most of the action happened. Andrew ...
