Daniel Carter: Open Question, Vol. 2

Read "Open Question, Vol. 2" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

October 10, 2023

If the title warning Open Question, Vol. 2 fails to alert one to what one was about to get into while listening to the unhinged, yet oddly disciplined and methodic rhubarb created off-the-cuff by radical downtown saxophone legend Daniel Carter, equally rebellious tenor Ayumi Ishito, pianist Eric Plaks}, bassist {{m: Zach Swanson and drummer Jon Panikkar, well, maybe gullibility is, without doubt, a human trait. Or perhaps it is just our renowned, innate inquisitiveness and speculation that makes things like ...

Daniel Carter, Adriana Camacho, Federico Ughi: Trabajadores De Energi

Read "Trabajadores De Energi" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic
October 3, 2023

An open conversationalist, active participant, and scion of creativity, forward thinking saxophonist Daniel Carter aims higher than his usual lofty visions on Trabajadores De Energi, easily the umpteenth release of '23 that bears his anachronistic brand. This free set, recorded in Rome after Carter, cosmic bassist Adriana Camacho, and longtime Carter partner in anarchy, drummer Federico Ughi met in Italy during the Sounds of Freedom international music residency, Trabajadores De Energi opens on a muted, near contemplative tone. ...

Charlie Apicella and Iron City Meet the Griots Speak: Destiny Calling

Read "Destiny Calling" reviewed by Troy Dostert

Since the early 2000s, guitarist Charlie Apicella's Iron City trio has devoted itself to maintaining the tradition of soulful, organ-based jazz. The aptly-titled Groove Machine (OA2 Records, 2019) preceded Destiny Calling, the group's 2023 album. And the latest one is quite a change-up. For this outing, Apicella has teamed up with The Griots Speak, an all-star assemblage of veterans who trace their roots to the halcyon days of the New York loft scene of the 1970s: multi-instrumentalist Daniel Carter, percussionist ...

Charlie Apicella & Iron City: The Griots Speak: Destiny Calling

Read "The Griots Speak: Destiny Calling" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

Guitarist Charlie Apicella and his organ trio Iron City are solidly based in the hard-bop mainstream. However, some of their releases are flavored with other motifs, partially by virtue of the guest artists. For instance, the tribute to legendary guitarist B.B. King, Payin' the Cost To Be the Boss (CArlo, Music, 2016), with an augmented sextet, was aptly bluesy. Meanwhile Classic Guitar (Zoho, 2020), with tenor saxophonist Stephen Riley, was an intimate interpretation of the Great American Songbook.

October 27, 2022

577 Records founder, chief architect, free blowing, free willed, harmonic rebel and reed master Daniel Carter has never shied away from the unknown metropolis. From the silent instant which captures the imagination and sends it sleighing its own peaks and valleys, Carter, and whoever chooses to accept his challenge to participate, let the moment move them and the music into new spaces. Playfield, as this particular congregate of players from downtown NY is dubbed, brings it all to ...
