Chris Lightcap's Bigmouth: Epicenter

Read "Epicenter" reviewed by Luca Canini


Ha ancora senso parlare di mainstream? Esiste un jazz che guarda al futuro riuscendo allo stesso tempo ad essere immediatamente riconoscibile e masticabile anche da chi di jazz poco, o niente, ne capisce?

Read "Epicenter" reviewed by Dave Wayne


Conceived as a continuous seven-part extended work for his band, Bigmouth, the first seven tracks on Chris Lightcap's Epicenter are as remarkable for their diversity as they are for the ways in which they're tied together.

Chris Lightcap's Bigmouth: Epicenter

Read "Epicenter" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Chris Lightcap is a bassist's bassist. As a sideman to leaders such as Regina Carter, Matt Wilson, Joe Morris, Marc Ribot, and Craig Taborn, his rock-solid timekeeping can be quite inconspicuous. He is a sort of steadfast superglue that leaders and composers hold in high regard. As a leader and composer, there is another ...
