Alexander von Schlippenbach: Compression & Monk's Casino
by Andrey Henkin
The career of most artists follows one of two paths: linear (Pablo Picasso or Gato Barbieri) or circular (Chick Corea). Few can or wish to maintain multiple personalities creatively. In music, there are more instances of this kind of multi-tasking and German pianist Alex von Schlippenbach has proven himself especially adept. In the ...
Tippett/Grew/Riley/Thomas: Pianoforte
by Andrey Henkin
The impetus for this album came from a meeting between pianists Stephen Grew and Keith Tippett at a London club. What resulted was a live concert from 2003 documenting a piano recital that included Grew, Tippett, Pat Thomas, and Howard Riley. The format of the album is straightfoward, if the music is far from ...
The Fringe: Live at Zeitgeist

The Fringe Live at Zeitgeist Resolution 2005 The final track on the new Fringe album is entitled “A Fringe Tribute to the New England Patriots." The liner notes explain that The Fringe, born and raised in Boston, spent much of twenty years playing there at The Willow opposite ...
Henry Grimes: Live at the Kerava Jazz Festival
by Andrey Henkin
Amazingly, this CD is the first disc released under Henry Grimes' name since 1965, when his only title as a leader appeared (The Call, ESP). Though there are many private recordings of Grimes playing since his storybook return, this live performance was serendipitous for being close enough to Sweden for the head of Ayler Records to ...
Mahavishnu Project: Phase 2
by Andrey Henkin
Mahavishnu Project Phase Two Aggregate Music Being a Mahavishnu Orchestra (MO) cover band is a vastly different undertaking than playing the music of, say, Led Zeppelin or the Grateful Dead. By and large, those who would come to see a band like this (sticking to the first and only worthwhile incarnation) are ...
Tubby Hayes & the Rendell/Carr Quintet: Live In London
by Andrey Henkin
With Harkit's Live in London series, it can be heard what musicians like Sonny Rollins to Stan Getz sounded like on tours to Europe, where presumably they made much of their money and played with an abandon unfit for American audiences. The period recordings were done by British jazzer Les Tomkins. Two entries into the series ...
Richard Davis: There He Bows
by Andrey Henkin
When initially contacting legendary bassist Richard Davis for this profile, the response was a simple “Call at six am your time any day." Since Davis has been based in Wisconsin since the '70s, this meant for him a talk at five in the morning. A far cry from the stereotypical jazz musician who didn't know there ...
Don Friedman
by Andrey Henkin
Pianist Don Friedman's sessionography reads like a jazz encyclopedia. A favorite choice on the keys for his tasteful yet progressive playing, he has played with luminaries from Booker Little to Jimmy Giuffre to Clark Terry. Friedman now leads a piano trio and we spoke with him after a successful engagement at the Kitano in February.
Guernsey's Jazz Auction
by Andrey Henkin
Much has been made in the popular press of the once-in-a-lifetimeness of this auction. More coverage was given to the event, held Sunday, Feb. 20th at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater, than jazz usually gets in a year. The son of Thelonious Monk, T.S., made the opening remarks and spoke optimistically about history and what ...
