by A. Henkin
RMS with Gil Evans Live at The Montreux Jazz Festival 1983 Angel Air 2006 After having been part of Gil Evans' British Orchestra rhythm section, guitarist Ray Russell and bassist Mo Foster asked Evans to perform with their group RMS (S for drummer Simon Phillips) at Montreux. This is the ...
Steve Swell: Fire Into Music
by A. Henkin
The fascinating thing about this album is that trombonist Steve Swell, ostensibly the leader of the Fire Into Music Quartet with saxophonist Jemeel Moondoc, bassist William Parker and drummer Hamid Drake, didn't know this record (an LP) was being made until he received a copy. Business issues subsequently were worked out and the release is official ...
Miles Davis: The Cellar Door Sessions 1970
by A. Henkin
The Cellar Door Sessions 1970 is the eighth box set edition in a series begun in 2004, moving chronologically through the trumpeter's career with John Coltrane and Gil Evans, recorded output for Columbia from 1963-68, and extensive investigations into the sessions that yielded In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew and A Tribute to Jack Johnson. This ...
Otomo Yoshihide: Plays Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch
by A. Henkin
Eric Dolphy's final studio album is hailed as one of the finest examples of mid-'60s post bop. Its reputation is purely one of backwards significance. Dolphy, having recorded the album in February 1964, was in Europe less than six weeks later and was dead less than two months after that. Though likely he never held a ...
Ken Vandermark: The Color of Memory
by A. Henkin
Music is the only creative endeavour where fans spend much of their time lamenting over impermanence. There are still those who disregard any Mahavishnu Orchestra that doesn't have Jan Hammer in it or shudder at the thought of Led Zeppelin with Jason Bonham. But these fans would do well to keep in mind that Pink Floyd ...
Bobo Stenson
by A. Henkin
Many listeners and writers of jazz (this correspondent included) have been at times guilty of perpetuating the myth of the 'Nordic Sound' in jazz. Not only is this inaccurate, it is also a gross simplification of a culturally diverse region. Pianist Bobo Stenson, himself probably a victim of this categorization during his career, stated in a ...
Joe Fiedler: Plays the Music of Albert Mangelsdorff
by A. Henkin
If ever there was evidence of a prejudice against European jazz players, it is the fact that trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff (1928-2005) never before had a tribute album done in his honor. Even more damning is research showing that his compositions--over a hundred--have never been played without him. Trombonist Joe Fiedler has ended this ...
Sam Bardfeld: Periodic Trespasses (The Saul Cycle)
by A. Henkin
With his second release as a leader (and first for Fresh Sound), violinist Sam Bardfeld presents an album full of modern Jewish intellectual reflection, as practiced by such diverse artists as Saul Bellow and Woody Allen, but couched in terms owing more of a debt to Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage. But given those ...
Ken Vandermark
by A. Henkin
"Chicago is kind of like this island out in the middle of a bunch of land, says multi-reedman Ken Vandermark. The Rhode Island-born musician settled in the Windy City in the early '80s after college in Montreal and a stint living and working in Boston. But in Chicago Vandermark has thrived, making countless musical friendships that ...
Barry Guy: Oort-Entropy / Dakryon
by A. Henkin
Few could imagine in 1972, when bassist Barry Guy first convened the London Jazz Composers Orchestra, its future impact as a large ensemble. When he chose to work with a “new orchestra in 2000, the scope was condensed, 10 players doing the work of what had been 20, but surprisingly was no less expansive. Barry Guy ...
