Improvising Trio: Manna for Thought
This is the house that Ornette Coleman built some 60 years ago. Guitarist Dom Minasi and his like-minded colleagues, vocalist Nora McCarthy and saxophonist Ras Moshe, show that the free jazz tradition is very much alive as we approach the third decade of the new millennium. Minasi has for the past 20 years, progressed further into ...

Smalls
March 31, 2018

Paula Shocron: Paths to a New Sound
When Werner X. Uehlinger, the founder of Hat Hut Records, was asked about a statement on why he liked Argentinian pianist Paula Shocron's music, the answer was clear, short and succinct: “The quality of surprise." Uehlinger discovered Shocron's music through her work with the SLD Trio and he liked their debut Anfitrión so much that the ...
read moreNever Alone: Reflections on the 2018 Winter Jazzfest
Ornette Coleman once said that sound has no parents. But that doesn't mean we can't be its children. On that point, jazz has always been something of a parental force, connecting progenies of representation across geographic and cultural borders. Its relationship to struggle has, however, at times been overshadowed by debate. On the one hand, jazz ...

“The Red Hook Jazz Festival exists contentedly on the margins, like its namesake neighborhood and much of the music on its
bill…The mood in the audience was neighborly, with a higher ratio of small children to youngish adults than I’ve seen at any
musical event not expressly pitched as a kids’ show.” —Nate Chinen, New York ...

Loss Of A Quiet Giant: Will Connell 1938-2014
By John Pietaro
I was heartily saddened by the sudden unexpected phone call: downtown’s unsung hero of Free Jazz, Will Connell, Jr., was hospitalized and non-responsive. Immediately the jazz and new music community rallied and the outpouring of love for Will was apparent. We’d all been preparing for his big moment at the front of the stage, ...

Practice, Do You? Part 3-3
Continued from Part 2
I began studying the guitar when I was seven years old. I hated my teacher and I didn't practice much, but when I changed teachers' and I went to Joe Geneli, I regained a love for the guitar that I first had when I was four years old when I ...
Getting To Know Ras Moshe
Ras Moshe is not a name most people are familiar with. If you listen to straight ahead jazz you probably wouldn't know Ras. Now if you go to some of the 'downtown' performances in New York City and Brooklyn you probably have seen him play. I heard him ten years ago playing Tenor Sax at the ...

Jazz Story
I love jazz because of its ability to evoke such tremendous emotion... primarily joy! I was first exposed to jazz by my grandparents. The first jazz record I bought was Jim Beard's Song of the Sun or maybe Steely Dan's Aja. My advice to new listeners: remain varied in your listening habits, and of course keep listening, keep listening, keep listening!
