Newk, Clarinet Madness & More
by Marc Cohn
June 2019 was one of those months with 5 Saturdays, so we got to play around with the music more. As usual, a mix of newer music from the likes of Theo Hill, Kate Reid and Anat Cohen--the latter two duos with Fred Hersch on piano. Then we have two, yes two, “compare and contrast": one ...

by Hrayr Attarian
Innovative multi-reed player and composer Henry Threadgill is no stranger to adventurous projects. Starting with the groundbreaking trio Air four decades ago he has not stopped expanding his creative boundaries. The ambitious multi-part suite In for a Penny, In for a Pound highlights the unusual instrumentation Threadgill has always incorporated in his groups. Each ...
The Group: Live
by John Sharpe
What quirk of fate governs whether or not a band captures the public imagination? A star-studded lineup? A strong set of tunes? Or just the good fortune to be in the right place at the right time? For The Group--a stellar mid-'80s aggregation of New York City avant talent--all these preconditions seemed to be in place, ...
Boom Box: Jazz
by Henry Smith
Free jazz can have some fairly antisocial connotations. Too often, the term raises an undeserved fear in the uninitiated, as freedom can be scary. That hardly necessitates that it lack beauty, lyricism or intimacy, however; it simply means that those traits are arrived at by organic means rather than controlled ones. Few artists ...
Michael Dessen Trio: Forget The Pixel
by Robert Bush
Trombonist Michael Dessen once studied with George Lewis, hung with Ray Anderson, and has ascended to their level on the creative improvising scene. Dessen has his own distinct style, one that values nuanced gestures as highly as it does exuberance; therefore his music creates a micro world of detail and organically developed themes. ...
Gary Giddins on Ignored Black Jazz Writers
by Greg Thomas
In the first essay for the Race and Jazz column, I gave a first-person account of how my love and appreciation of certain “white" saxophonists served to safeguard me from the temptation of racism back in college during the early-to-mid-'80s. My second essay privileged culture over race, and told the story of how attorney and constitutional ...

Guilherme Monteiro: Air
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il chitarrista Guilherme Monteiro, malgrado si contorni di musicisti di spessore tra i quali spicca il tenorista Jerome Sabbagh, rilascia un buon album, ma non completamente messo a fuoco, vago nelle intenzioni e negli sviluppi. Non che Air manchi di spessore stilistico e capacità interpretativa, ma sembra risentire - paradossalmente, va da sé - della doppia ...
