Greg Burk Trio: Nothing, Knowing
by Michael McCaw
When examining the individual pieces of a puzzle, one only sees parts of the picture, but not the whole. Considering the individual elements that comprise Nothing, Knowing is something along those same lines. You can focus on the way pianist Greg Burk builds and deconstructs around a melody played by electric bassist Steve Swallow while drummer ...
Natto Quartet: Thousand Oaks
by John Kelman
Recorded at a live performance in the Maybeck Studio of Berkeley, California, Natto Quartet's second recording, Thousand Oaks, builds upon the group's first recording, Headlands. It continues to explore a variety of junctures--most specifically the meeting points of different cultures, and of texture and tonality. The quartet's unconventional lineup includes Philip Gelb (one of but a ...
Anthony Braxton/Matt Bauder: 2 + 2 Compositions
by John Kelman
Having the opportunity to watch woodwind multi-instrumentalist/composer Anthony Braxton perform one of his compositions in concert provides a distinct insight into just how directed his pieces--which sometimes give more of an impression of random activity when experienced on record--really are. Looking at one of them on paper can be even more revealing. While standard notation may ...
Rosenberg/Baker/Hatwich/Daisy: New Folk, New Blues
by Jerry D'Souza
Notch another one for the Document Chicago Series as Scott Rosenberg returns to the Windy City with his saxophones to churn a storm with Jim Baker, Anton Hatwich, and Tim Daisy.

The Fonda/Stevens Group: Forever Real
by Glenn Astarita
These days, there are few modern jazz groups which can seamlessly merge elements of free improvisation with mainstream and post-bop stylizations, while still maintaining a signature group sound. The Fonda/Stevens Group is partly about the sum of its parts, where the respective musicians emerge as stylists by honing a group-based methodology that stands on its own. ...
The Fonda/Stevens Group: Forever Real
by John Kelman
Since emerging on the scene in the late '80s with trumpeter Dave Douglas and the Mosaic Sextet, pianist Michael Jefry Stevens, bassist Joe Fonda, and drummer Harvey Sorgen have all worked in a variety of contexts. Fonda was Anthony Braxton's bassist of choice in the mid-'90s; Stevens has worked in trios with Mark Whitecage and Dominic ...
The Fonda/Stevens Group: Forever Real
by Dennis Hollingsworth
John Cage said that music is all around us, ever present in the universe. Yet we do not always have the “ears" to decipher it. Forever Real offers the opportunity to exercise your “ears," presenting you with unique sounds that ebb and flow like the tide. This effort is the eighth recording from ...
Fran: Play
by Jerry D'Souza
If technique and imagination are the spirit of improvisation, then the François Carrier Trio has a brimful. Here are three musicians whose travelogue would make the most jaded witness sit up and take notice, attention and marvel at the way they scope the terrain and then mark it with their personal landmarks. What they construct is ...
Vinkeloe/Cremaschi/Masaoka/Robair: Klang. Farbe. Melodie
by Jerry D'Souza
The title of this album translates into “sound. color. melody." That's apt, given the resolution of the pieces that comprise the record. There is no gainsaying which way the music will go and where it will lead. The spur of the moment gives no warning. What is sufficient is that each of the players has a ...
