Nguyen Le Trio: Bakida

Read "Bakida" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

One look at the liner notes to the Nguyên Lê Trio's latest disc and you know that Bakida is not going to be your typical jazz record. While Vietnamese guitarist Lê, who now lives in France, has dabbled in a variety of styles with a penchant towards the fusion side of the camp, his international flavour ...

Lars Danielsson: Libera Me

Read "Libera Me" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

When the bonus track on an album is the most adventurous piece, you know there might be trouble. And that's not to say that bassist Lars Danielsson's latest album, Libera Me , is bad; it isn't. In a year where we've seen other artists mesh jazz improvisation with an orchestra, most notably pianist Steve Kuhn with ...

Terri Lyne Carrington: Structure

Read "Structure" reviewed by Russ Musto

by Russ Musto

Terri Lyne Carrington's newest disc is her most focused and cohesive effort to date. The coproduction by the multitalented drummer with Yellowjackets electric bassist Jimmy Haslip may not be what fans of her hard bop or funk-driven projects would expect, but the music is bound to please discerning listeners. Structure is an atypical fusion date, combining ...

Nils Landgren Funk Unit: Funky ABBA

Read "Funky ABBA" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

A whole album of ABBA tunes reinterpreted by Nils Landgren's Funk Unit could be a reason to take notice. Previous albums by the group have shown an unrelenting sense of groove with some fine playing from all concerned. Sadly, Funky ABBA , rather than being a celebration by one of Sweden's funkiest groups of Sweden's largest ...

Nils Landgren/Esbjorn Svensson: Swedish Folk Modern

Read "Swedish Folk Modern" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Contrary to Wynton Marsalis and Stanley Crouch, jazz is no longer an American or, even more specifically, Afro-American art form. Jazz has, in fact, always been about incorporating music from various traditions, folk and otherwise, into something of a cultural melting pot. While American musicians including John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis looked to African ...

David Binney: South

Read "South" reviewed by Julian Derry

by Julian Derry

South is a hauntingly beautiful album of outstanding compositional innovation. The sheer angularity of the opening horn phrase is like tiptoeing across an exposed arete, the cymbals nervously fluttering wisp-like at your heels, the thinnest melodic bridge that leads you to the relative safety of the song's harmonic center. Here you hunker down, comforted by the ...
