Ola Kvernberg Trio: Northern Tapes

by John Kelman
April 13, 2014

It's been three years since Ola Kvernberg released the ambitious Liarbird (Jazzland, 2011), a studio document of his 2010 Molde International Jazz Festival commission where guest Joshua Redman was recruited for the live performance, but where, far more than a ringer for Kvernberg, Redman was clearly awestruck by this virtuosic young violinist/composer. It's not that Kvernberg ...

Iiro Rantala: My History Of Jazz

by Bruce Lindsay
November 4, 2012

It is perhaps an odd history of jazz that opens and closes with a composition by Johann Sebastian Bach, but My History Of Jazz is a very personal history, the history of Finnish pianist Iiro Rantala. His previous album, Lost Heroes (ACT Music, 2011), was a solo piano recording; full of mesmerizingly beautiful music, it was ...

The Room of Imagination

Featuring the music of Adam Baldych
Duration: 12:32
September 17, 2012

"The Room of Imagination," the inspiration for violinist Adam Baldych's new ACT recording with his group The Baltic Gang, Imaginary Room (2012). Originally heard on his digital-only release, Magical Theater (Eleet, 2011), this track features a completely different group than that heard on Imaginary Room, but is a clear reference harbinger of what's to come.

Adam Baldych And The Baltic Gang: Imaginary Room

by Bruce Lindsay
June 27, 2012

Despite the perceived similarities between musical groups and gangs, there are surprisingly few examples of bands with a “gang" appellation. There's American rockers the James Gang, Brit-punks the Tyla Gang and of course there's the Purple Gang (although that was just a rhythm section). Imaginary Room, the debut release from violinist Adam Baldych and The Baltic ...

New York-based violinist Adam Baldych releases imaginative, gorgeous new album

June 11, 2011

There is perhaps no more of an apt title than Magical Theatre to describe the imaginative and sometimes otherworldly ways in which Adam Baldych approaches his violin playing. For example, “Party Place" opens up deliriously funky riffing and slamming drums as Baldych's violin catches the happening vibe with a sweaty, scorching performance. However, the tempo slows ...
