Anthony Braxton
Born:
To his list of achievements and awards, Anthony Braxton may now add the 1994 MacArthur Fellowship: the so-called "genius" grant of (in his case) $300,000, awarded to individuals nominated for outstanding and original contributions to their field. The timing of this crowning achievement couldn't be better for Braxton's most recent professional goals: he is the founding Artistic Director of the newly incorporated Tri-Centric Foundation, Inc., a New York-based not-for-profit corporation including an ensemble of some 38 musicians, four to eight vocalists, and computer-graphic video artists assembled to perform his compositions. The ensemble's debut at New York's The Kitchen sold out the last and most of the first two of three nights, through the press excitement it generated; the reviews—in Down Beat and the Chicago Tribune (John Corbett), the Village Voice (Kevin Whitehead), and the New York Times (Jon Pareles)—ranged from positive to ecstatic. Most importantly, the musical success of the event inspired Braxton to pursue the "three-day and -night" program concept for this ensemble, including lectures/informances, and splinter chamber performances, around the world. The second New York event, indeed, expanded on the concept: The Knitting Factory presented six nights of Anthony Braxton and his music, in all the variety of its vision
Albert Marquès / Rachel Therrien: Dialogue (Vol. I & II)
by Artur Moral
Except for the most radically experimental music, in a jazz context increasingly dominated by written scores that leave little room for improvisation, the appearance of a musical diptych centered on the latter is undoubtedly most welcome. This applies both to individual discourse and to creation shared simultaneously by various performers. Granted, many listeners may be absolutely ...

Bobby Naughton Trio: Live at Charlie's Tap
by Mark Corroto
Today, a number of drummers, including Ches Smith and Kenny Wollesen, also double on vibraphone, underscoring the instrument's fundamentally percussive nature. In the hands of Bobby Naughton, however, the vibraphone functioned as something more expansive: a reimagined piano, capable of both harmonic depth and rhythmic propulsion. Naughton began studying piano at the age of ...
Phil Haynes: Banging The Drum For Liberty Now
by Lawrence Peryer

Since moving to New York from Oregon in 1983, Phil's played on scores of recordings with artists like Anthony Braxton and Dave Liebman. Phil has joined me once already, in the March 2024 epispde Phil Haynes: a Renowned Jazz Drummer Chases the Masters, to ...
Mary Halvorson: About the Ghosts in the Guitar
by Dean Nardi
No, guitarheads, recently Mary Halvorson has been inspired to put out records with her Amaryllis sextet more so than some jaggedy, lyrical shredding, but these are pretty darn good jazz records from a tight ensemble consisting of Adam O'Farrill (trumpet), Jacob Garchik (trombone), Patricia Brennan (vibraphone) and a rhythm section of Nick Dunston (bass) and Tomas ...

Roy Powell - Lorenzo Feliciati - Lucrezio de Seta: Aria
by Glenn Astarita
Roy Powell has been the quiet man in the engine room for years. British by birth and Norwegian by choice, he once spent serious time as Anthony Braxton's pianist on those wild European tours where the music looked like geometry homework, and the applause was optional. He later slipped into the electric Norwegian wave, trading greasy ...
