John Zorn / George Lewis / Bill Frisell: More News For Lulu

Read "More News For Lulu" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

More News For Lulu was this trio's second album and, despite being recorded in 1989 and originally released on hatOLOGY Records (the father label to HatHut Records) in 1992, its crisp attack and buoyant execution holds up rather immaculately with this overdue reissue. A hybrid studio/live program, the artists effortlessly work through bop, and swing motifs ...

Bernardo SassettiTrio: Motion

Read "Motion" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Quite often, when hearing compositions by pianist Bernardo Sassetti, it's easy to mistake him for an American. His folksy charm has that Aaron Copland-meets-Bill Frisell kind of Americana. But no, this huge talent is Portugal's own son. He is back again in a trio setting with bassist Carlos Barretto and drummer Alexandre Frazão. The ...

Thôt: With Words Vol. 2

Read "With Words Vol. 2" reviewed by Chris May

Take Thôt, the quartet led by saxophonist Stephane Payen with guitarist Gilles Coronado, bassist Hubert Dupont and drummer Christophe Lavergne. Founded in 1997, and ...

Wolfgang Muthspiel / Mick Goodrick: Live At The Jazz Standard

Read "Live At The Jazz Standard" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Guitar duos can be a dangerous thing. With 12 strings and four hands, there's the potential for serious train wrecks; but if the two players are really listening, there's also potential for inspired greatness. Ralph Towner and John Abercrombie's two albums for ECM—Sargasso Sea (1976) and Five Years Later (1982)—exemplify how two can, indeed, conjoin for ...
