Over the past half century, the German ECM label has earned its place in this pantheon by steadfastly following its own vision, perhaps best summed up by ...

Freddie Hubbard: On Fire: Live From The Blue Morocco
by Pierre Giroux
Freddie Hubbard was never one to play it safe. Even at a time when jazz was bending in myriad directions--from the structural freedom of Ornette Coleman's harmolodics to the modal explorations of Miles Davis--Hubbard maintained a singular focus on the power of his horn. In the newly unearthed performance On Fire: Live from Blue Morocco, Resonance ...
Freddie Hubbard: On Fire--Live From The Blue Morocco
by Jack Kenny
Freddie Hubbard is a conundrum. His style has varied significantly over the years, as though he were unsure of himself at a deep level. There were the Blue Note years, then the funk years, where he gained money and lost credibility. The all-encompassing technique was displayed in so many contexts, with Art Blakey, Ornette Coleman, John ...

Larry Nozero: Time
by Chris May
Here is an odd one. Originally released on the short-lived Detroit label Strata in 1975, Larry Nozero's Time defies categorization. First-generation spiritual jazz, Henry Mancini, Motown, strings (real and synthed), the Swingle Singers, Braziliana and Shaft era Isaac Hayes jostle around the mic, along with Sibylline hints of Kamasi Washington. Is it for real? Is it ...
