Kidd Jordan / Hamid Drake / William Parker: Palm Of Soul
by Nic Jones
A sense of ritual pervades this music, and these three masters show how potent a force it can be. The idea of evocation is a fraught one, however, especially when the result is more the evocation of others than the projection of a musical identity unique to the performer. At times here Kidd Jordan evokes the ...
Kidd Jordan / Hamid Drake / William Parker: Palm of Soul
by Troy Collins
Hurricane Katrina left tenor saxophonist Kidd Jordan homeless less than a month before this recording session. Undeterred, the New Orleans native kept a prearranged studio date with bassist William Parker and drummer Hamid Drake. Regularly joined by tenor saxophonist Fred Anderson for powerhouse quartet gigs, Jordan, Parker and Drake had never recorded before as a trio. ...
AUM Fidelity
by Marc Medwin
"I'm still on a mission from God," laughs Steven Joerg, AUM Fidelity frontman. Maybe Lone Ranger would be a more apt descriptor. “Yeah, it's mostly me. That's one of the things that sets the label apart--this really is a one-man operation." Joerg is always quick to acknowledge the help he has received from ...
William Parker: Long Hidden: The Olmec Series
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ideale ponte tra l'Africa ed il Messico, questo album è sostanzialmente diviso in due parti. Nella prima parte troviamo William Parker in solo. Al contrabbasso, ci mostra ancora una volta la leggerezza e la luminosità del proprio incedere (ricordiamo il motto music is light, light is music). Al doson ngoni, il nostro traccia percorsi più eterei ...
Roy Nathanson: Sotto Voce
by Brad Glanden
The Italian term selected by saxophonist Roy Nathanson as the title of his latest CD connotes a hushing of sung or spoken tones, a deceptive name for a recording with so many worthwhile things to say. On Sotto Voce, the Jazz Passengers co-founder leads an idiosyncratic five-piece through an unholy hodgepodge of pop, post bop, hip-hop ...
Roy Nathanson: Sotto Voce
by Troy Collins
An intriguing combination of spoken word, multipart vocal harmonies and adventurous instrumental jazz with a surprising rhythmic twist, Sotto Voce is not unprecedented in saxophonist/composer Roy Nathanson's discography. With trombonist Curtis Fowlkes, Nathanson is co-founder of the long running Jazz Passengers, those erstwhile guardians of postmodern irreverence. Their career over the past decade has found them ...
William Parker: Long Hidden: The Olmec Series
by AAJ Staff
William Parker may be best known as a bassist, but he has also been playing a number of other instruments for quite some time, including string and percussion instruments from Africa and the Middle East. His approach to the doson n'goni, the so-called “hunter's lute" from West Africa, seems to be quite natural, in no small ...
William Parker: Long Hidden: The Olmec Series
by Eyal Hareuveni
On Long Hidden: The Olmec Series, bass giant William Parker suggests a new cosmology that unearths common threads between the ancient, indigenous cultures of West African Manding and Middle American Olmec people--who lived in the east lowlands of Mexico from 1300 to 400 BC--and modern jazz in one of its more daring manifestations, the solo bass ...
William Parker: Long Hidden: The Olmec Series
by Troy Collins
Conceptual journeyman William Parker is not content to merely excel at that of which he is already a proven master; a bass virtuoso, ensemble leader and multi-disciplinary collaborator, Parker is more than just one of today's finest jazz musicians, he truly embodies the term artist. Long Hidden: The Olmec Series finds Parker in three ...
