Club d'Elf: Now I Understand
by Chris M. Slawecki
About eight years ago, composer/bassist Mike Rivard began leading a “floating residency in Cambridge, Massachusetts, organized around the rhythm section, which pulsed behind a kaleidoscope of horn, keyboard, percussion and guitar players. After seven live releases, Rivard has finally shepherded his “ever-changing performance ensemble into its first studio album. No fewer than 25 musicians ...

Either/Orchestra: Neo-Modernism
by Dan McClenaghan
It's puzzle why the ten man Either/Orchestra, under the leadership of saxophonist Russ Gershon, is still something of an underground outfit. They've been through fifteen years and eight albums, the spawning of careers of several first rate jazz men, including John Medeski and Charlie Kohlhase, and scores of great live performances. The groups's last ...

Either/Orchestra: Afro-Cubism
by Mark Corroto
The Either/Orchestra has always been a little big band for those of us who don’t particularly like big band jazz. Founded in 1985 by saxophonist Russ Gershon, the E/O has played nimble arrangements of everything from Duke Ellington to Bob Dylan. The orchestra draws equally from Sun Ra, Gil Evans, Frank Zappa and Dizzy Gillespie’s big ...
Either/Orchestra: Afro-Cubism
by Dan McClenaghan
Saxophonist/Composer Russ Gershon, leader of the ten piece Either/Orchestra, had a problem: Too much music in the can for one CD. His solution: Two CDs, forty some odd minutes apiece, and lower the price from the sixteen dollar range down to $10.99, to better compete with the bargain-priced reissues offered up by the major labels.
Either/Orchestra: More Beautiful Than Death
by David Adler
Either/Orchestra ends a four-year hiatus with this hip, grooving, eclectic album. An Afro-latin theme runs through the program: driving 12/8 African grooves on “Amiak Abet Abet" and “Feker Aydelmwey," a calypso/mariachi vibe on “Breaktime for Dougo," salsa claves on “Number Three" and “Slow Mambo for J.J." Yet the Afro-latin references are broken up with the Ellington-style ...
The Either / Orchestra: More Beautiful Than Death
by Jack Bowers
For those who appreciate big–band music that wanders from the beaten path but never far enough to exhaust one’s patience, the Massachusetts–based Either / Orchestra is designed to please. There are no shopworn standards in its book; instead, the E / O takes the listener on a bracing musical journey from North American Jazz / blues ...
