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 ...
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 ...

The Jazz Mandolin Project: Tour de Flux
by Robert Spencer
Mandolin, yes, but you won't find any foggy mountain bluegrass here. When these folks took the name the Jazz Mandolin Project, they could have been inspired by the Truth in Advertising Commission. Actually, without knowing that Jamie Masefield is wielding a mandolin (as well as a “tenor banjo"), a casual listener might figure that this is ...
Jazz Mandolin Project: Tour De Flux
by Ed Kopp
“The future belongs to musicians willing to explore timbre in terms of new combinations of instruments that are not standard." 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 ...
The Jazz Mandolin Project: Tour de Flux
by Douglas Payne
This Burlington, Vermont trio sounds more like an accomplished guitar trio than the gimmick their name might suggest. Maybe that's what makes Tour de Flux, the group's second disc in their four-year history, an absolute knock-out.Mandolin and banjo pyro-technician Jamie Masefield more or less leads the band. He's a methodic, even erudite player that ...
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, ...
