Harry Allen: The Candy Men

JazzWax by Marc Myers
There aren't many saxophonists who can pull off an album like The Candy Men (Arbors), a new release from Harry Allen's All Star New York Saxophone Band. The album is easily one of my favorites of the year. While I wrote the liner notes, you should know that I only write the notes to albums I love and I don't make a dime off of sales. So whether or not the album is a bestseller is not my concern. I'm ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Earlier this year, guitarist John Scofield won a Grammy for his album, Past Present. Released in 2015, Past Present came on the heels of tough times for Sco—the 2013 passing of his son, Evan, to sarcoma at age 26. Sco's music on the album was haunting and pained, the ache of a father and a family that endured the worst possible loss. His new album, Country for Old Men (Impulse!), released today, is on the same trail bound for similar ...

The Independent Ear by Willard Jenkins
Here's part two of our conversation with Joe Long, proprietor of the late Birdel's Record Store, a pillar of the Central Brooklyn community from its Nostrand Avenue perch. Unfortunately earlier this year Birdel's went the way of the great majority of record stores, stripping the Brooklyn community of yet another great traditional business and a real outpost for the music. We recently caught up with Joe Long, who is quite the character and a bit of a throwback to the ...

The Independent Ear by Willard Jenkins
Last spring after reading a New York Times account of the demise of one of the last of a dying breed, the retail record store, I knew the proprietor of this Brooklyn record outlet was someone we should interview as part of a series of oral history interviews for the Weeksville Heritage Center in Brooklyn. So last April my Weeksville colleagues Jennifer Scott, Kaitlyn Greenidge, and I toted our equipment to the modest home of Mr. Joe Long, legendary proprietor ...

Honey Ear Trio - Steampunk Serenade (2011)

Something Else!
By S. Victor Aaron Listening to Allison Miller's superb CD from last year Boom Tic Boom, I appreciated how it covered a lot of ground within advanced modern jazz, helped along by such sympathetic supporting players in this piano jazz trio. But that album still left me wondering where this ace drummer, composer and bandleader was going to head next. Perhaps Miller herself didn't even know, that is, until a spewing volcano in Iceland scuttled her plans for a six-week ...

Honey Ear Trio - Steampunk Serenade (Foxhaven Records, 2011) ****

Free Jazz by Stef Gijssels
By Paul Acquaro The Steampunk literary genre essentially imagines a present informed by Victorian sensibilities and driven by steam technology. Imagine though, just for a moment, another alternate present in which popular music is not shaped by lowest common denominator tastes and gobs of derivative schmear. What do you hear? For me, the top forty slots are pretty much dominated by groups like the Honey Ear Trio. The trio, sax, drum and bass, with some electronics and effects for added ...
