Lucky 7's: Pluto Junkyard

Read "Pluto Junkyard" reviewed by Troy Collins

by Troy Collins

The brainchild of trombonists Jeb Bishop and Jeff Albert, the Lucky 7's are a consummate example of post-Vandermark Chicago-based collectivism. Bishop's longstanding work with fellow artists such as Rob Mazurek, Ted Sirota and Ken Vandermark informs his inside-outside approach, lending a forward thinking but historically aware sensibility to this versatile mid-sized ensemble. A New Orleans native, ...

Three of a Perfect Pair

Read "Three of a Perfect Pair" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki

by Chris M. Slawecki

For the past decade or thereabouts, I've tried to organize “From the Inside Out" around one theme, to address in one column the different ways that different musicians perform on the same instrument, or in the same style or genre.

Borah Bergman Trio: Luminescence

Read "Luminescence" reviewed by Nic Jones

by Nic Jones

The piano-bass-drums trio has become such a staple of jazz recording that it must be difficult for any trio to come up with something fresh. Borah Bergman and his crew accomplish this task, and whilst their work lacks the compositional integrity of the holy trinity of Thelonious Monk, Herbie Nichols, and Andrew Hill, there's enough substance ...
