Shakers n' Bakers: Heart Love
by Mark Corroto
For most of us it is, and always has been, red states and blue states. I'm talking us vs. them, liberals and conservatives, or my ball team and yours. Same goes for music. The moldy figs vs. beboppers and later, neocons vs. avant-gardists. Yet, some musicians like Albert Ayler, as a radical departure from the norm, ...
Noah Kaplan
by Vincenzo Roggero
1. Joseph Haydn, Symphony 44, 25, 49 Iona Brown & Academy of St. Martin in the Fields (haenssler CLASSIC, 2000). Ci ho messo del tempo a rendermi conto di che tipo tosto fosse Haydn. Un sacco di Bach e presagi di Beethoven in questo disco. 2. Charles Mingus, Pithecanthropus Erectus (Atlantic, 1956). ...

Charles Gayle/Giovani Barcella/Manolo Cabras: Live In Belgium
by Mark Corroto
Picking up any recording by the saxophonist (sometimes pianist) Charles Gayle always reminds me of the quote by actress Bette Davis' from the the film All About Eve (1950). After downing her martini in one gulp, Davis walks away, turns, and announces “fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride." Not bumpy as in ...
Cortex: Avant-Garde Party Music
by John Sharpe
Why change a winning formula? If Norwegian crew Cortex has considered that question, then the response was likely an unconcerned shrug. Studio session Avant-Garde Party Music continues firmly in the winning vein established by Clean Feed predecessors Live! (2014) and Live In New York (2016), mashing 1960s New Thing tropes with contemporary inside/outside soloing. Trumpeter Thomas ...

Albert Ayler: Copenhagen Live 1964
by John Sharpe
Even more than 50 years on, there's still never been anyone quite like Albert Ayler. Or for that matter like this 1964 Quartet, which was one of the few ensembles during his career to match the tenor saxophonist against equally forward thinking peers. Bassist Gary Peacock was fresh from pianist Bill Evans' Trio, cornetist Don Cherry ...
Matt Otto: Soliloquy
by Don Phipps
A soliloquy according to the dictionary is “an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers....." No more apt title could be assigned to Matt Otto's wonderful album Soliloquy. Reminiscent of Matisse's use of color, Otto uses his music to paint a cool canvas of evocative sounds that describe thoughts ...
Ivo Perelman Makes It Rain
by Mark Corroto
If music was sports, then Ivo Perelman would be baseball and most other musicians football. Where football's regular season is 16 games, baseball plays 162. Likewise, most musicians release one album every year or two, but Perelman has averaged seven titles per year for the last seven years. His 2017 Leo Records output is thirteen (fourteen, ...
