Jessica Jones Quartet: Moxie
by Dan Bilawsky
Moxie is both an extension of tenor saxophonist Jessica Jones' previous work and a glimpse back to an earlier point in her career: she continues to explore the possibilities inherent in a piano-less quartet with a two-tenor front line while reuniting with a rhythm duo that she worked with in the '80s--bassist Stomu Takeishi and drummer ...
Jessica Jones Quartet: Word
by AAJ Italy Staff
Disco strano questo Word, licenziato dal Jessica Jones Quartet. Per più di un motivo. A partire dalla classica suddivisione in Side A e Side B tipica dei vecchi vinile, che coincide, si scoprirà, con due differenti, quasi opposte direzioni musicali. La facciata A, composta da cinque brani originali e due noti standard, scorre via liscia come ...

It is poetry, and it is easy enough to understand that poetry ...

by Mark Sabbatini

Jessica Jones Quartet: Nod
by Dan McClenaghan
The title of the Jessica Jones Quartet's latest CD, Nod, is “Don" spelled backwards, a reverse tipping of the hat to Don Cherry, the trumpeter who ran with Ornette Coleman back in the early days of free jazz, on several groundbreaking albums of the genre. But here's the rub: the set doesn't have Cherry's sound; if ...
Jessica Jones Quartet: Nod
by John Kelman
Elegantly bridging the gap between free playing and more structured work, tenor saxophonist/pianist Jessica Jones and her quartet deliver a record that bucks convention while, remarkably, remaining somewhat true to it. Influenced as much by the Art Ensemble of Chicago as by Wayne Shorter and Jackie McLean, Nod comfortably traverses a variety of territories, including open-ended ...
