Scott Fields Ensemble: Christangelfox
by Jerry D'Souza
Three musicians gather to make music. Each plays an instrument and percussion that comes in a set of four. Their percussion comprises scrap metal, stone, and wood, all of which float on foam slabs. They begin and then go on for the next hour playing the composition of Scott Fields. The music on Christangelfox ...
George Schuller: Jigsaw
by Jerry D'Souza
George Schuller has moved from the basic quartet of his band The Schulldogs to fashion music for a conglomerate that moves from a quintet to a septet for this record. While the extra horns bring in a greater depth and extension, the addition of strings lends a serene presence. Together they add to the lure, and ...
Dave Rempis Quartet: Out of Season
by Peter Aaron
Saxophonist Dave Rempis blew onto the Windy City free jazz scene in 1999, when he replaced Mars Williams in The Vandermark 5, making his scorching presence known on that band's revered third album, Simpatico (Atavistic). Out of Season is the debut of Rempis's quartet, which includes drummer Tim Daisy (who also plays in the V5, as ...
George Schuller: JigSaw
by Ty Cumbie
If the opening violin/trombone duo (Mark Feldman and Curtis Hasselbring, who also plays guitar on the session) momentarily reveals a strong vein of new classical influence, the ensuing drum/bass vamp, topped with a spirited trumpet solo (I would bet money Dave Ballou made some funky physical movements delivering it) dispels any fear of being subjected to ...
Dave Rempis Quartet: Out Of Season
by Jerry D'Souza
What is, and what may have been, define structure. There are four fine musicians here and they get off to a darn good start on the brawny tenor of Dave Rempis. There is depth and there is direction--but along the way, the players pull back and go into a maze they can't work out of. Microcosms ...
George Schuller: JigSaw
by John Kelman
As an extension of his Schulldogs project, JigSaw finds drummer/composer George Schuller following somewhat in the third stream path of his father Gunther. With a group of players who double on so many instruments in order to provide a broad complexion of textures, Schuller comfortably blends free improvisation, new music and a surprising sense of swing ...
Conference Call: Spirals: The Berlin Concert
by Jerry D'Souza
Hey, come on over and listen in to a Conference Call. There have been two well worth listening to in the past. As before, there is a new drummer in tow, George Schuller coming in place of Matt Wilson, who in turn had replaced Han Bennink. Sure, Wilson and Bennink have individualistic styles, but don’t turn ...
Joelle Leandre/Mark Nauseef: Evident
by John Kelman
For the first collaboration between bassist Joelle Leandre and percussionist Mark Nauseef, the landscape is purely alien; Evident finds the two looking outwards, incorporating a multitude of elements into a live program that runs the gamut from the tranquil to stormy. Created without any previous discussion or forethought, Leandre and Nauseef respond to each other's leads ...
Matt Bauder: Weary Already Of The Way
by Jerry D'Souza
The “Document Chicago” music scene presents yet another direction that music can go through. For this recording Matt Bauder composed the pieces and then asked the musicians to play with the idea that their sounds were being electronically manipulated. The music was recorded in segments and very little of it was live with all the musicians ...
