Michael Attias: Quartet Music Vol I: LuMiSong & Vol II: Kardamon Fall
by John Sharpe
Saxophonist Michaël Attias has impressed on the NYC scene for over three decades. He has recorded with Paul Motian, Anthony Braxton and Taylor Ho Bynum, while artists like Eric Revis, Anthony Coleman and Kris Davis have covered his compositions. But despite such recognition, Attias's discography undeservedly languishes in single figures. His decision to issue ...
Steve Lehman Trio and Mark Turner: The Music of Anthony Braxton
by Troy Dostert
Anthony Braxton has long had a reputation as being one of the most abstruse and forbidding musicians of the jazz avant-garde. Whether it is his impossibly esoteric notation systems, or the bizarre instrumentation he sometimes features on his recordings--his Composition No. 19 (For 100 Tubas) being just one example--one must tread carefully when engaging this unique ...

Sylvie Courvoisier and Mary Halvorson: Bone Bells
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Sylvie Courvoisier and guitarist Mary Halvorson are the boldest of musical artists. Bold and uncompromising, each with distinctive voices coming from different places. For Courvoisier, it is the classical music world and European chamber music that she mixes with the sounds of avant-garde jazz. Halvorson started out early with the violin, until the sound of ...
Barry Deister Quintet: An African Suite
by Scott Lichtman
It is not uncommon for jazz artists to borrow from world music to enliven their pieces--adding a dash of spice as it were. It is even rarer (with Latin jazz being an exception) for musicians to dive deeply into indigenous music forms and deliver an authentic, integrated sonic concept. Most unique are album-length projects that successfully ...

Un latino e una filippina, peraltro entrambi nati e cresciuti negli Stati Uniti, confezionano questo singolare album che affianca due strumenti ben di rado abbinati, specie in una musica di ispirazione jazzistica (ma ovunque, diremmo: di primo acchito ci viene in mente solo un duo di Anthony Braxton con Jacqueline Kerrod di non molti anni or ...
