Dave Rempis, Joshua Abrams, Avreeayl Ra + Jim Baker: Perihelion
by AAJ Staff
È un musicista generoso e attivissimo, il sassofonista Dave Rempis, che molti conoscono come fantastico “specchio" di Ken Vandermark nei Vandermark 5. Merito di un'attitudine fortemente e ostinatamente free, della capacità di utilizzare tre strumenti (il contralto, il tenore e il baritono) con grande equilibrio funzionale e, non ultimo, di lavorare con continuità con alcuni colleghi ...
Dave Rempis/Joshua Abrams/Avreeayl Ra + Jim Baker: Perihelion
by Mark Corroto
These days, it's a luxury to have a working jazz band. It's funny to think in those terms, isn't it? Sure, that was a nice record, you think. But modern musicians, particularly jazz musician often play in multiple ensembles, in theatre productions, teach music lessons privately, and curate local music series. These things are often accomplished ...

Ari Brown: Groove Awakening
by Hrayr Attarian
It is easy to think of saxophonist Ari Brown as the heir to the late, great Chicago tenorists Von Freeman and Fred Anderson but that would not be a fair assessment. Far more than a successor, Brown is the youngest and remaining member of a powerfully unique musical triumvirate. His idiosyncratic style is equally appropriate to ...

A tall task, but saxophonist Dave Rempis has made the jump from ...

by Mark Corroto
Harrison Bankhead's time has come. The Advancement of Creative Music (AACM) is on a roll with the release of Velvet Blue. For decades, the bassist has been the bedrock upon which great Chicago jazz has been built. He was the foundation for legendary players like Fred Anderson, Von Freeman, Roscoe Mitchell, Muhal Richard Abrams, and Malachi ...
Nicole Mitchell: Awakening
by Jerry D'Souza
Flautist Nicole Mitchell is visionary. Her music clasps a wide panorama of styles and sounds in a constant quest for the new, as she opens up a sonic spectrum that moves from quiet interludes to scintillating rhythmic motifs. Mitchell brings the flute up front on this CD, working with a quartet rather than the ...
Nicole Mitchell: Awakening
by Jack Huntley
Flautist Nicole Mitchell's generous improvisational abilities are at the musical heart of Awakening. Not only does she move effortlessly from single-note lines and sliding honks to wispy, soft timbres, but she is equally comfortable moving from pure melodic phrasing to more experimental, free content. Coupled with an exceptional trio backing, Mitchell's album crackles with infectious spontaneity. ...
