Outpost 186 March Highlights: Jacob William

Jacob William returns his Para Quintet to Outpost 186 on Saturday March 24th after an interlude of gigs in other dubious roosts. Now that he is once more in the cozier confines of the Outpost, free of the concerns attending tavern work, he'll shine at his usual level of dazzle with his astute and earnest compadres. ...

Charlie Kohlhase Launches an Outpost 186 Exploration for February

Charlie Kohlhase Launches an Outpost 186 Exploration for February

After a dismal 2011, in which the Explorers Club only performed once, Boston's beloved cranky yankee polishes his battery of saxophones and follows the groundhog out of midwinter torpor. Over the course of the unrolling spring, saxophonist/composer Charlie Kohlhase will oversee mid month explorations in Inman Squares favorite back yard gallery, Outpost 186. Starting on Thursday, ...

Club D'ElfElectric Moroccoland / So BelowFace Pelt Records2011 Boston-based Club D'Elf describes itself as a “Moroccan-dosed psychedelic dub and jazz collective." It is the sort of band that gives self-medication a good name, and it will reconfigure your synapses, in a good way, if you let it. ...

Pete Robbins: Balance Dream

Read "Pete Robbins: Balance Dream" reviewed by Gordon Marshall

by Gordon Marshall

Pete Robbins is all about balance, in temperament and as an artist. He produces a polished sound on his alto saxophone, with a light tone betraying corners of darkness and complexity. Already an accomplished leader at 31, he grafts his sound onto ensembles of varying sizes with aplomb and equanimity. His style as a leader is ...

by Raul d'Gama Rose

Forward is a magical sonic journey charted by reeds and woodwinds master, Brian Landrus and explores the tonal depths of the ocean of sound that fewer saxophonists seem to traverse these days.

Brian Landrus: Forward

Read "Forward" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

by Bruce Lindsay

Forward, multi-instrumentalist Brian Landrus' first album, begins by looking back--with a version of Thelonious Monk's “Ask Me Now."

Steve Lantner: Given - Live In Munster

Read "Given - Live In Munster" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

What is called free jazz can cover a very wide spectrum of creative music, not all of which is as unfettered as the name implies. At the most basic level, choice of instrumentation is a clear limitation, while pre-agreed moods or written heads may further reduce the possibilities. On Given, the second release ...

Steve Lantner Quartet: Given - Live In Munster

Read "Given - Live In Munster" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

L'atmosfera riflessiva, destrutturata, irreale e sospesa di piano e sax, all'inizio del primo brano, è la perfetta introduzione a un percorso che si sviluppa attraverso una musica atonale e lungo una traiettoria di perfetta libertà organizzata. Il disco, pur mantenendo sempre una dimensione fortemente astratta, alterna momenti di forte atonalità, ma sempre in qualche modo eterei ...
