Steve Swell, Asher Gamedze, Dan Rosenboom & Fergus Quill
by Maurice Hogue
An energetic episode this time around on One Man's Jazz! There's plenty of punch from South African drummer and composer Asher Gamedze, trombonist Steve Swell's Fire Into Music (featuring the late Jemeel Moondoc), L.A. trumpeter Dan Rosenboom with a killer band, New Zealand mates drummer Edward Ware and saxophonist Jeff Henderson reunion, the quirky Imaginary Big ...
Patrick Brennan and sOnic Opening: Tilting Curvaceous
by Howard Mandel
Tilting Curvaceous is all-of-a-piece, s0nic 0penings' instigator and extraordinary alto saxophonist Patrick Brennan informs us, emerging from a single “meta-groove interface," to be heard whole. That may come naturally to fans of creative improvisation since the breakthroughs of Ornette Coleman, say, and new constructions by composers including Cecil Taylor, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Henry Threadgill ...
Ron Miles: The Best Of The Denver Jazz Doyen
by Ian Patterson
Ron Miles left the planet all too soon, but the Denver cornetist and trumpeter has left a lasting mark, both in terms of the music he made and in the people whose lives he touched. This list, a guide to ten of Miles' most significant recordings as both leader and as a sideman, reflects his playing ...
East Axis, Sebastiano Dessanay, Christoph Irniger & Andrew Cyrille
by Maurice Hogue
This episode gets down to the bass-ics. I've loaded up this show with tracks that feature some terrific bassists, like Kevin Ray with East Axis and 10-32 K, Italy's Sebastiano Dessanay, Billy Mohler, Joel Grip with Ouat, John Edwards from England, Argentina's Maximiliano Kirszner, and of course, William Parker. There are more. Also on the bill, ...
Gaia Wilmer, Greg Ward, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Janel Leppin & Other New Releases
by Ludovico Granvassu
There are different ways to unpack this playlist. One of them is approaching it as a travelogue taking us to the music incubator that is Chicago; to a scene deserving wider recognition in Washington D.C.; to Brazil, France and Italy. And it all starts from Free Form Funk Freqs' 3rd Galaxy. Happy listening!
Art Ensemble of Chicago: The Sixth Decade: From Paris to Paris
by Mike Jurkovic
Recorded live in Paris in February 2020, The Sixth Decade: From Paris to Paris. presents Art Ensemble Of Chicago—as defiantly daring avant-garde as that first night in Paris, 1969 —giving no quarter whatsoever in their lifelong, diasporic pursuit of creation unbound. Breaking at the pace of a dream, surviving co-founders saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell and ...
Favourite Recordings of 2022
by Maurice Hogue
From an extended all-ECM special last show to close 2022 to this week's favourite shows of 2022 to open a new year. And let me wish you a healthy and productive 2023 while I have the floor. I've picked out music from a goodly number of my favourite releases out of an awful lot of great ...
Art Ensemble Of Chicago: The Sixth Decade: From Paris to Paris
by Giuseppe Segala
Parigi è città fatale per l'Art Ensemble of Chicago: nel 1969 fu traguardo del prodigio artistico e umano preparato negli anni precedenti da Roscoe Mitchell, Malachi Favors e Joseph Jarman, che avevano incrociato le proprie esperienze dapprima al Wilson Junior College di Chicago, nel 1961, poi nel lavoro con la Experimental Band di Muhal Richard Abrams, ...
The Artists Of ECM Records
by Maurice Hogue
I've often tried to make the last show of a year a little different. Doing a special on ECM is an idea I've had for a while, and things finally came together to do it for 2022. I've always figured I had a great number of ECM releases in my collection, and when I started culling ...
Fela Anikulapo Kuti: Perambulator
by Chris May
Until now one of the lost treasures of Fela's recorded legacy, the history of Perambulator is as arcane as the sleeve credit to Egypt 80 on the Lagos International label's original release is misleading. Far from being recorded by Egypt 80 in 1983, as claimed by Lagos International, both tracks were actually recorded by Afrika 70 ...
