Jason Robinson, Sanchez / Guy / Lopez, Vehicle / Passenger & Jeff Lederer
by Maurice Hogue
Multi-reedist Jason Robinson's second volume of music composed in honor of his ancestors maintains the same power and emotion as the first and both albums are among the best releases of 2024. Fellow saxophonist Jeff Lederer's new Guilty! has a political slant, and it delivers a message that many of us are waiting to hear, while ...

Izumi Kimura / Barry Guy / Gerry Hemingway: Six Hands Open As One
by John Sharpe
Although dating back to at least Aesop's fables written in 500 BC, the saying that you can know someone by the company they keep remains as true as ever. While Irish-based Japanese pianist Izumi Kimura is the nominal leader, the egalitarian trio on Six Hands Open As One finds her in illustrious company. ...
Ivo Perelman: What A Year In Music
by Mark Corroto
There is an adage in the music world that one is damned to be a completist. Ever since performances have been captured on cylinders, records, and now digitally, music devotees have endeavored to collect entire catalogs of their favorite musicians or ensembles. Think about the obsessive hunters of 78 rpm blues records from backwoods artists of ...
Jordina Millà, Barry Guy: Live in Munich
by Neri Pollastri
Stupefacente incontro tra generazioni diverse di improvvisatori, questo album documenta il concerto tenutosi nel Febbraio 2022 nella sala Schwere Reiter di Monaco di Baviera, di scena la pianista catalana residente a Salisburgo Jordina Millà e il contrabbassista inglese Barry Guy. Se di quest'ultimo è inutile aggiungere altro, trattandosi di uno dei grandi interpreti dell'improvvisazione europea dell'ultimo ...
Tony Oxley: Unreleased 1974 - 2016
by Chris May
The British drummer and bandleader Tony Oxley passed in 2023, aged 85, after a career which began in the mid 1960s as the drummer in the house band at Ronnie Scott's club. From this prestigious but relatively codified platform, Oxley soon steered into less travelled waters. In 1969 he was in the quartet which recorded John ...
Nicole Mitchell, Lina Allemano, Laubrock / Rainey & Parker / Barket / Irabagon
by Maurice Hogue
After a few shows shortened in length, I had to go back to the old three-hour joint to get all of this terrific music happening. Highlights: the Chicago Afrofuturism of Nicole Mitchell meets the Malian kora legend Ballake Sissoko on Bamako Chicago Sound System; multi-instrumentalist William Parker, drummer Andrew Barker and saxophonist Jon Irabagon cook up ...
Jordina Millà and Barry Guy: Live In Munich
by Mike Jurkovic
There is an elusive, impossible logic to Live In Munich, an album that could sound so much like so many before it. But it does not. Because the music that roils tidal between Catalan pianist Jordina Millà and British bassist Barry Guy on their debut concert performance may be more the sound of creation than music ...
Izumi Kimura, Barry Guy, Gerry Hemingway: Six Hands Open As One
by Ian Patterson
It should come as no surprise that three of contemporary music's great improvisers should obliterate the boundaries between composed and improvised music. This is the second collaboration between pianist Izumi Kimura, double bassist Barry Guy and drummer/percussionist Gerry Hemingway following Illuminated Silence (Fundacja Sluchaj, 2019), a visceral live document where improvisation played out within conceptual compositional ...
Phil Haynes, Janel Leppin, & Ndududzo Makhathini
by Maurice Hogue
Last year veteran drummer Phil Haynes set out on a mission to document his past recording and music history; the first step, and a large one, was the publication of a book, “Chasing The Masters," which was paralleled by a 60-plus compilation of songs by various groups he led or played with. One of those bands ...
