Marion Brown: Live in Europe 1968 & 1972

Read "Live in Europe 1968 & 1972" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

There was not much room in the crowded landscape of the 1960s avant-garde for everyone to receive equal attention. Critics and listeners alike gravitated toward the towering presence of John Coltrane, whose music dominated both record sales and jazz journalism. As a result, visionary figures such as Eric Dolphy, Albert Ayler and Marion Brown often found ...

Dörner-Schwerdt-Sartorius: Jul Fuel

Read "Jul Fuel" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Jul Fuel unfolds more like a tale of three cities than a singular statement--especially when the tracks are experienced in album order. The release transitions from a solo piano performance to a piano-drum duet, a trio performance, and, finally, a slide trumpet solo. At its core, however, Jul Fuel revolves around German improviser Axel Dörner, even ...

Giacomo Merega: Opus Dichotomous

Read "Opus Dichotomous" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

The title adopted by Giacomo Merega and Joe Morris' duo release Opus Dichotomous might be a false flag. This recording is anything but an exercise in contrasts. Merega's electric bass and Morris' guitar travel congruously throughout the nine tracks to deliver these improvised gems. Perhaps the dichotomy the title refers to is that of botany where ...

by Joshua Weiner

Blue Note. Verve. Impulse! ESP-Disk. Just saying the name of such storied jazz record labels immediately conjures up each one's distinct aesthetic, from the music to the cover art. By the close of the 1960s, jazz was undergoing a period of intense change, with an unprecedented mixing and matching of styles and influences--both musical and political--that ...
