John Tchicai/Irene Schweizer Group: Willi the Pig
by Derek Taylor
Another rarity excised from the attic of time this recording was taped at the first Willisau Jazz Festival, an event that has since provided a forum for some of the finest groups in improvised music. Released initially in a run of 500 copies it quickly went out of print and has since never been reissued. At ...
Sven- : Schlingerland/Dynamische Schwingungen
by Derek Taylor
Johansson is a musician largely lost on American jazz audiences. Though he was a seminal force on Peter Brötzmann’s legendary Machine Gun (fmp) and collaborated on various occasions with pianist Alexander von Schilippenbach in the 1970s his discography has been something of a recondite affair, revealed only to those musical archeologists willing to dig. In like ...
Guillermo Gregorio: Otra Musica
by Derek Taylor
Argentine by birth, but now a resident of Chicago Gregorio is one of the unsung intellectual figures of improvised music. Since his relatively recent relocation to the Windy City he’s fostered numerous associations with the teeming creative jazz scene there and has even found the time and resources to record with several working groups for the ...
Schlippenbach Quartet: Hunting the Snake
by Derek Taylor
The Schlippenbach Trio remains one of the most redoubtable ensembles in creative improvised music due in no small measure to the sum of its formidable parts. Schlippenbach, Parker and Lovens need no introduction to those the least bit familiar with free jazz. The seemingly unsurpassable stature of their union was forged over the course of sporadic ...
Leo Cuypers: Heavy Days Are Here Again
by Derek Taylor
Originally issued on Breuker’s Bvhaast label the title of this disc has several permutations among them a reference to the realities of Reaganomics, and a putting to rest of past squabbles between the musicians. On a less allegorical level this disc delivers four of the guiding lights in Dutch jazz in synergistic collusion. Given the players’ ...
Han Bennink: Nerve Beats
by AAJ Staff
On Nerve Beats, a welcome reissue of a live 1973 Radio Bremen recording, drummer Han Bennink occupies the stage alone. But he's got a complete toy kit, and they are toys in the most playful sense. During, between, and after his drum improvisations he employs whistles, hoots, hollers, clarinet, trombone, and whatever it takes to allow ...

Vandermark 5: Burn The Incline
by AAJ Staff
It's hard to praise Ken Vandermark enough. His work with the V5 and his various other projects continues to stun and amaze. His special talent lies not so much in his playing--which by itself projects an amazing amount of sensitivity and power, depending on the occasion. It's more that Vandermark has tremendous ability as a composer ...
