Chick Corea: Solo Piano
by John Kelman
It may be Keith Jarrett and Paul Bley who, with Facing You (1972) and Open, To Love (1973) respectively, put ECM on the map for what would become a lifelong focus on the art of solo piano, but it was Chick Corea's Piano Improvisations Vol. 1 (1971) and Vol. 2 (1972) that represented the label's first ...

Resonance Records: Non-Profit Jazz Label with a Mission
by Samuel Chell
It's a story often heard before: musically, these are the best and worst of times. Only this time, in 2010, it seems different.

by Clifford Allen
Marion Brown Why Not? ESP-Disk 2009 (1966) While the term “fire music" has held sway as a descriptor of the music of post-John Coltrane/Albert Ayler saxophonists from the 1960s onward, it's long been an incomplete summation of the work of most of these musicians. Alto saxophonist Marion Brown ...

Dave Liebman / Michael Stephans: Nomads
by John Kelman
If ever there was a title to best fit Dave Liebman, it would be Nomads. Stylistically, the reedman's life has represented an endless traverse of infinite musical landscapes, ranging from freely improvised music with Australia-based pianist Mike Nock on Duologue (Birdland, 2007), and modern, open-ended mainstream with longtime musical partner, pianist Richie Beirach--heard most recently on ...
Anouar Brahem: The Astounding Eyes of Rita
by Dan McClenaghan
The Astounding Eyes of Rita rings to life on four resonant notes from Tunisian oudist Anouar Brahem, joined in short order by the deep, rich tone of Klaus Gesing's bass clarinet. The music sounds ancient, like something from an old civilization, full of past truths that still hold true. Manfred Eicher, the man in ...
