Ill Considered: Precipice

Read "Precipice" reviewed by Chris May


The British pianist John Tilbury believes that some free-improv musicians play for too long without pausing for literal or metaphorical breath and, to make matters worse, do not listen hard enough to their bandmates. How right he is. Tilbury has not named names, but many AAJers could surely suggest some. Tilbury recommends that improvising musicians should only play for one-third of the time available.

Read "6" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


The London-based quartet, Ill Considered, has churned out nine full-length albums in less than two years, each high quality and each a unique jazz creation. Founded in 2017, saxophonist Idris Rahman, drummer Emre Ramazanoglu and bassist Leon Brichard replaced their additional percussionist with Satin Singh on their second release, Live at the Crypt (Self Produced, 2017). Rahman and Brichard had recorded in a short-lived group called Wildflower; that trio bearing more than a passing similarity to the style of this ...
