Orchestre National de JazzAround Robert WyattBee Jazz2009 Hearing that France's National Jazz Orchestra has prepared a program of music by Robert Wyatt, the venerable sage of English rock and roll, is intriguing, but not necessarily shocking.

Christophe Wallemme: Start "So Many Ways..."
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Christophe Wallemme describes this effort as a “wink at the great standards of American jazz," a laudable objective but an affirmation that seems intended to confuse the listener. The explicit musical references on Start “So Many Ways..." point instead to Antonio Carlos Jobim and Miles Davis' Bitches Brew rather than “Body and Soul" or ...
Daniel Humair / Joachim Kuhn / Tony Malaby: Full Contact
by Martin Longley
This transatlantic collaboration features the long-established partnership of Swiss sticksman Daniel Humair and German pianist Joachim K ühn, but the presence of saxophonist Tony Malaby further establishes the latter's fast-ascending status outside of the US. The reedman isn't blowing as belligerently as usual, tempted into exposing his softer side, his warm tone denuded of its lime-scale ...
Guillaum de Chassy: Faraway So Close

You see the trend: duo, solo--the band can't get any smaller, so de Chassy has released a record for piano ...
Jean-Paul Celea/Francois Couturier/Daniel Humair: Tryptic

Reading about this procedure can many times provide insight into how people listen to jazz. Without the benefit of knowledge beforehand, ...
