Mike Reed's Loose Assembly Featuring Roscoe Mitchell: Empathetic Parts
by Troy Collins
The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) has nurtured the talents of Chicago's most inventive artists since 1965. Drummer Mike Reed, the venerable organization's recently appointed Vice Chairman, repays the favor on Empathetic Parts, with his longstanding quintet, Loose Assembly, by welcoming one of the Association's original founders, multi-instrumentalist Roscoe Mitchell, as featured guest ...
Tomas Fujiwara & The Hook Up: Actionspeak
by Mark Corroto
Actionspeak, by drummer Tomas Fujiwara & The Hook Up, operates as an updated take on Miles Davis' 1960s quintet idea. As a working band, the combination of Fujiwara with bassist Danton Boller, trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson, guitarist Mary Halvorson and saxophonist Brian Settles presents musical entertainment, more than intellectual device, while advancing the ideology of jazz as ...
Mike Reed's People, Places & Things: Stories and Negotiations
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'idea è di quelle intriganti. Allestire una band -People, Places & Things, gran bel nome- con la quale recuperare e far riemergere dall'oblio la scena jazz della Chicago anni 1954-1960. Scena in lento ma inesorabile movimento, dominata ancora dall'infuocato hard bop ma con all'orizzonte i primi segnali delle trasformazioni che porteranno all'avvento dell'AACM. Per far ciò ...
Mike Reed's People, Places & Things: Stories And Negotiations
by Martin Longley
This third album by Mike Reed's People, Places & Things (PP&T) takes its position as the most direct manifestation of the combo's agreed purpose. The Chicago drummer has begun a journey of rediscovery, or even introduction, to the old jazz sounds of that city's late '50s period. Reed's concept is not to reproduce, but to respond ...
Jason Ajemian: Protest Heaven
by Mark Corroto
Bassist Jason Ajemian assembled a company of improvisers in December, 2006 at Heaven Gallery in Chicago as part of a music series he had been curating since 2002.

Dave Rempis - Frank Rosaly: Cyrillic
by AAJ Italy Staff
Artisti ben conosciuti da chi bazzica la scena creative di Chicago, il sassofonista Dave Rempis [Vandermark 5] e il batterista Frank Rosaly [Mandarin Movie, Flatlands Collective] condividono sin dal 2004 un dialogo nel quale interplay e libertà, propulsione e ricerca timbrica rivestono la medesima importanza. Le otto composizioni/improvvisazioni contenute in questo Cyrillic trasportano facilmente l'ascoltatore dentro ...
Mike Reed's People, Places & Things: Stories and Negotiations
by Troy Collins
Stories and Negotiations is the final chapter in Chicago-based drummer Mike Reed's People, Places & Things trilogy. Debuting with 2008's Proliferation (482 Music), Reed founded this piano-less quartet to investigate an often overlooked period of Chicago's jazz history--the mid-1950s to early 1960s--when the city's after-hours jam session culture flirted with avant-garde collectivism, eventually giving birth to ...
Greg Burk: Many Worlds
by AAJ Italy Staff
Già nel notevole e solitario The Way In Greg Burk aveva dato chiara dimostrazione di come il momento compositivo e quello dell'improvvisazione potessero consegnare frutti prelibati se fusi armoniosamente e guidati da una estemporaneità prospettica, in grado di sopravvivere al bruciarsi del momento. Con Many Worlds, la sfida si fa più appassionante e per certi versi ...
Greg Burk: Many Worlds
by Troy Collins
A startlingly original improviser, rising pianist Greg Burk straddles a confluence of traditions, seamlessly balancing the spontaneity of free jazz with the discipline of mainstream conventions. A former Either/Orchestra member and student of Paul Bley, Yusef Lateef, George Russell and Archie Shepp, Burk possesses an uncanny gift for melody that surpasses many of his peers. On ...

About Us continues in that vein, but as the title states, its focus is more on ...
