Either/Orchestra: More Beautiful Than Death
by Mark Corroto
They’re Back! To paraphrase Mark Twain, “The rumors of the Either/Orchestra’s permanently playing Grateful Dead music have been exaggerated.” After disbanding the small big band in 1997 and starting a family (just add water), saxophonist and label entrepreneur Russ Gershon has reformed the E/O. At this point I’d like to exclaim “Yahoo,” but due to copyright ...

He's a methodic, even erudite player that ...

So said jazz saxophonist and owner of Postcard Records Ralph Simon in a December 1997 JazzTimes article about the future of jazz.If Simon is right -- and I believe he is -- the future ...
Jazz Mandolin Project: Tour De Flux
by AAJ Staff
The name attracts attention; outside of Dave Grisman, “mandolin jazz” is a contradiction of terms. This record, the Project’s second, comes after an impromptu tour with a new lineup, including the drummer from Phish. The novelty of the mandolin is soon forgotten; you remember the energy, the mad strumming, the restless exploration. This is many things, ...
