Sun Ra: Interview With Charlie Morrow New York, 1989
by Chris May
This remarkable LP, released in a limited edition of just 425 copies, is a must-hear for Sun Ra obsessives (of which there are many of us). As an artefact of desire, it is up there with Harmut Geerken's monumental large-format hardback tome, Omniverse Sun Ra (Waitawhile Books, 1994). Interview With Charlie Morrow New York, 1989 chronicles ...
Alessandro Sgobbio: Piano Music 2
by Neri Pollastri
A un anno di distanza dal suo Piano Music, Alessandro Sgobbio fa uscire il secondo volume, Piano Music 2, che si differenzia dal precedente essenzialmente per l'uso, assieme al pianoforte, del live electronics. Registrato come l'altro negli studi Artesuono di Stefano Amerio, il disco è piuttosto breve, neppure trentacinque minuti, ed è diviso in ...
The Angelica Sanchez Nonet: Nighttime Creatures
by Angelo Leonardi
Pubblicato dalla Pyroclastic Records, Nighttime Creatures è il magistrale debutto del nonet della pianista Angelica Sanchez, organico che riunisce alcuni protagonisti della scene musicali di New York, Los Angeles e San Francisco: i sassofonisti Chris Speed e Michael Attias, il clarinettista Ben Goldberg, il cornettista Kenny Warren, il trombettista Thomas Heberer, il chitarrista Omar Tamez, il ...
Trunino Lowe: The Vision
by Paul Rauch
You can try and look away. You can try to see the musician as a single entity that grew in the shadow of his native city's historic lineage. “Assess the young man's music on its own merits, without drawing comps to the past," would be the objective. But this was the trumpet, and the young man ...
Jennifer Wharton's Bonegasm: Grit & Grace
by Jack Bowers
Asked to name the traits women most need to succeed in today's business world, Forbes magazine in a 2019 article underlined two of them as “grit and grace." One woman who took the advice to heart is bass trombonist Jennifer Wharton. She came late to jazz but has since made it her domain of choice, founding ...
Andre Roligheten: Marbles
by Chris May
Tenor saxophonist André Roligheten is best known outside his native Norway, and wider Scandinavia, as a member of drummer Gard Nilssen's Acoustic Unity and as a composer/arranger in the berserker big band, Supersonic Orchestra. Nilssen returns the favour on Marbles, one of Roligheten's infrequent own-name releases. The album has grown out of a ...
Keith Jarrett: Solo-Concerts Bremen Lausanne
by Chris May
Here, in all its 2023 audiophile detail, and cut from the original analogue masters, is the 3xLP set which launched the extraordinary tale of Keith Jarrett's in-the-moment- improvised, in-concert solo albums. Arguably the most momentous of all the reissues in ECM's estimable Luminessence series, the Bremen and Lausanne concerts were recorded in March and July 1973 ...
Arina Fujiwara: Neon
by Katchie Cartwright
Neon, pianist-composer--arranger Arina Fujiwara's luminous debut release, ends on an unexpected note, a solo take on Scott Joplin's “Maple Leaf Rag" (1899), his most popular and enduring tune. It complements her program of four excellent originals and an inspired reconception of “Hotaru Koi," a Japanese children's song. Fujiwara's “Maple Leaf Rag" flows out of Joplin's classic ...
George Gee Swing Orchestra: Winter Wonderland
by Jack Bowers
After an absence of several years the New York City-based George Gee Swing Orchestra is back in a recording studio, doing what it does best--swinging merrily through a Winter Wonderland chock-full of holiday favorites that kids of all ages can relate to and appreciate. Gee formed his first band while still in college ...
Ron Blake: Mistaken Identity
by Jack Bowers
Once hailed as a promising young lion, Puerto Rico-born saxophonist Ron Blake is more a crafty old fox these days, bringing his wealth of experience and undeniable talent to bear on Mistaken Identity, his first album as leader in fifteen years. To assure a broad comfort zone, Blake invited guitarist Bobby Broom, a ...
