Vandermark 5: Burn the Incline
by Derek Taylor
The V5 is arguably Ken Vandermark’s most widely renowned group. Of all of the Chicago reedman’s projects it certainly has the most miles under its belt in terms of touring and the voices that round out it’s ranks are among the vanguard of the city’s still expanding creative music scene. What this adds up to in ...
Spaceways Incorporated: Thirteen Cosmic Standards
by Derek Taylor
Ken Vandermark’s music has long revolved around an orbit of paying homage. The vast majority of his original pieces are of a dedicatory nature giving thanks and praise both to peers and elders. Several of his groups- Witches and Devils, Sound In Action, the one at hand- were even formed precisely with this purpose in mind. ...
Peter Br: Nipples
by Mark Corroto
Out of print for nearly 30 years, Nipples is showing itself (sorry) once again. The collector's dream Euro free jazz LP made it to CD thanks to writer/musician John Corbett's Unheard Music series for the Atavistic label. Along with other lost and unreleased gems, Corbett is bringing to light historically significant recordings by artists, some popular ...
Fred Anderson Quartet: Milwaukee Tapes Vol. 1/Live At The Velvet Lounge Volume Two
by Mark Corroto
The beauty listening to jazz is the ability to move backwards in time while discovering ‘new’ artists and charting their careers. For instance, a Miles Davis fan can step into his electric/funk records and follow them back to John Coltrane through Wayne Shorter, all the while researching the modern career of Shorter or picking up discs ...
Gregg Bendian's Interzone: Myriad
by Derek Taylor
Gregg Bendian's Interzone is a clear case of a thematic project that creatively outdistanced it's originally conceived scope and lifespan. William S. Burroughs' hallucinatory alternate reality remains the group's namesake, but the players continue to move forward in fresh creative directions. Of all the Beat writers (save perhaps Herbert Huncke) Burroughs was arguably the most enigmatic, ...

Fred Anderson Quartet: The Milwaukee Tapes, vol. 1

In many ways John Corbett’s new reissue imprint Unheard is akin to manna from heaven for followers of creative improvised music. Engineered with the purpose of plumbing the strata of the music’s history and unearthing unknown and forgotten wonders from its past the inaugural releases from the label are certain to entice jazz fans worldwide. Who ...
Steam: Real Time
by Mark Corroto
For reasons that cannot be explained, I have taken on the task of examining Jerry Lewis’ film career. Not having seen a Lewis movie for twenty-five years, I stumbled upon the original Nutty Professor late one night on cable. Jerry plays a klutz college instructor/scientist who comes upon a secret formula which transforms him into a ...
Peter Br: Nipples
by Derek Taylor
Talk about the rarest of the rare. This disc, another glorious entry on John Corbett's new Unheard series, unearths one of the most whispered and wondered about documents of the then burgeoning European improvisers union. It stands alongside such other cardinal classics as Brötzmann's Machine Gun as an aural manifesto of entire musical movement first carved ...
Joe McPhee: Nation Time
by Derek Taylor
Joe McPhee fans tend to be a loyal and devoted bunch. But one of the most frustrating things about digging McPhee’s music is the fact that much of it, especially the early stuff is out of print. His early albums have for far too long languished only in the hands of collectors and on the shelves ...
