Carla Bley / Andy Sheppard / Steve Swallow: Trios
by John Kelman
In a career more defined by memorable compositions than instrumental acumen, it's easy to forget that Carla Bley may not be the most virtuosic pianist on the planet, but she's a far more than capable one, as evidenced on duo recordings like Are We There Yet? (Watt, 1999), with life partner/bassist Steve Swallow, and Songs With ...

Kairos 4tet: Everything We Hold
by Bruce Lindsay

That abum, the band's second, was critically acclaimed; the band won the 2011 MOBO Award for Best Jazz Act. Then a trapped nerve in bandleader Adam Waldmann's elbow necessitated surgery shortly after the MOBO success and the ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Il progetto presentato al Festival di Molde 2010 dal pianista norvegese Ketil Bjørnstad, conosciuto all'epoca col nome “Antonioni Project," giunge finalmente alla pubblicazione su CD grazie alla ECM.

AVC: Busk
by Karl Ackermann
The UK label Babel has been nurturing unique talent for the better part of twenty years, judiciously releasing only about a half-dozen albums in a given year. Many of their artists play on the fringes of jazz and some go way beyond the pale. AVC are hardly outliers but neither is the quintet a predictable, formulaic ...

Jazz in a Changing World
by Sammy Stein
Jazz has influenced many other genres of music and, likewise, many other genres have influenced jazz from its very beginning. What is really exciting about the scene at the moment is just how much enrichment it is getting from the rest of the world. It works both ways, of course; jazz musicians from countries which have, ...
Eivind Aarset: Dream Logic
by John Kelman
With the exception of trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær and singer Sidsel Endresen--who each left the label after contributing two fine albums as leaders--there seems to be an increasing number of Norwegian artists who, after establishing themselves on smaller labels, are gaining greater international exposure by moving to the venerable ECM label. Trumpeter Arve Henriksen and Cartography ...
