Josh Berman / Aram Shelton / Weasel Walter: Last Distractions

Read "Last Distractions" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Last Distractions is a highly ambitious project, undertaken with just two horns and a drummer--three horns, actually, as reedist Aram Shelton plays two different ones. This trio of Shelton, cornetist Josh Berman and drummer Weasel Walter has set its sights on a determined and inspiring set of improvised music. The Chicago jazz scene is the inspiration ...

Ton Trio: The Way

Read "The Way" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Tasting just one slice of the musical pie that is Aram Shelton, one finds him in his Bay area trio with bassist Kurt Kotheimer and drummer Sam Ospovat. His Ton Trio makes a jazz sound reminiscent of a '60s venture into The New Thing, yet favors a very melodic writing.The saxophonist gained fame in ...

Aram Shelton: Arrive

Read "Arrive" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

Aram Shelton: Arrive

Read "Arrive" reviewed by Michael McCaw

Aram Shelton: Arrive

Read "Arrive" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


This, the ninth recording in the Document Chicago series, it continues to provide the listener with interesting twists and turns. Aram Shelton's music treads a path that is gentle in its ministrations and elevated by the sensibility of the musicians. This does not deny Shelton from blowing some pithy trajectories or keep Jason Roebke from spurring ...
