Piano Four-té: Keyboard Masters Delight On A Quartet of ECM Luminessence Vinyl Reissues
by Joshua Weiner
Blue Note. Verve. Impulse! Prestige. Just saying the name of such storied jazz record labels immediately conjures up each one's distinct aesthetic, from the music to the cover art. Over the past half century, the German ECM label has earned its place in this pantheon by steadfastly following its own vision, perhaps best summed up by ...
Paul Bley: Floater & Syndrome The Upright Piano Sessions Revisited
by Chris May
One way for a musician to conjure rapture is through full-frontal shamanic assault, the sonic equivalent of the Orgasmatron machine that Jane Fonda's character encounters in Roger Vadim's 1968 sci-fi romp Barbarella. Funk is an ideal vehicle. But the sensations produced are superficial and short-lived. A less travelled path instead uses subtlety, understatement and nuance, and ...
Joe Fonda: Joe Fonda & Bass Of Operation
by Mike Jurkovic
Only bassist /composer Joe Fonda--who cut his teeth and honed his humor in the company and camaraderie of such global visionaries as Wadada Leo Smith, Anthony Braxton, Barry Altschul, Paul Bley, and Annette Peacock-- can stand defiantly at the epicenter of a free jazz and classical quartet and ease the ensemble through either door with the deceptively ...
Marilyn Crispell: Fearless, Deeply Sensitive and Shaping the Moment
by Dean Nardi
As Marilyn Crispell talked about her multitude of recent recordings, either solo or with this trio or that quartet, she mentioned needing to pack her bags before going out on tour. She has lived in Woodstock, New York since 1977 and is comfortable there. “When I'm at home, not out recording, I look out in the ...

by Josef Woodard
https://s3.amazonaws.com/allaboutjazz/photos/2010/9509f2e2a3547fddb4d7263cf3eb6ff5.jpg Each year around Easter, the lovely and smallish lakeside city of Voss, Norway springs to musical life for a weekend. Voss is a go-to destination for skiers flocking to the snowy slopes high above the town, and host to an extreme sports festival come summer. But the legendary Vossa Jazz festival, which staged ...
Jazz, Gnu and New: ECM Reissues To Excite Vinyl Fans
by Joshua Weiner
ECM's “Luminessence" series pays tribute to the impressive legacy of Manfred Eicher's label, founded in Germany in 1969. Several of its most historic and beloved releases are being reissued on audiophile vinyl cut from the original analog tapes (or, in the case of more recent albums, from high-resolution digital masters) and presented in heavy gatefold sleeves ...
Bley School: Where?
by John Sharpe
Punningly recalling beloved British children's TV programme Play School, the name Bley School neatly encapsulates what is afoot on this album, representing an open-minded and irreverent fondness for tunes, especially those associated with the groundbreaking Canadian pianist Paul Bley. Responsible for this is the threesome of pianist Pat Thomas, bassist Dominic Lash and drummer Tony Orrell. ...
Anett Tamm: a unique voice from the Baltics
by Anthony Shaw
Despite her relative youth, Anett Tamm is not a new voice in her mother country, Estonia, and neither among jazz followers in Lithuania, Latvia, Germany, Greece, Finland and more. However this is a relatively select crowd, probably numbering in the hundreds, and with her taste in music veering wide of the mainstream, Anett Tamm is not ...
