Cosmosamatics: Magnitudes
by Jeff Stockton
What started as a song title on a trio session for CIMP nearly ten years ago (Transcendence, 1996) has blossomed into one of the most consistent and fruitful partnerships in jazz. The Cosmosamatics (primarily alto elder statesman Sonny Simmons and multireedist Michael Marcus) dabble in bop, post bop, and free jazz, with tightly written and arranged ...
Roberto Magris Europlane: Check-in
by Jerry D'Souza
Roberto Magris leads more than one band, each of which defines a particular mood and approach. One of them is Europlane, the quintet which checks in with this recording on the Black Saint label (currently celebrating its 30th anniversary). This should bring the band wider recognition, considering the fact that the label has an international presence. ...
Roberto Magris Europlane: Check-in
by Chris May
Some albums change the world forever and others--greater in number, but still not enough--simply make the world a more enjoyable place. Check-in is one of the latter.

William Parker and the Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra: Mass for the Healing of the World
by Rex Butters
Recorded live in Verona, Italy in 1998, Mass for the Healing of the World provides instant nostalgia in the quick change world of modern jazz. Built around William Parker's luminous and now defunct In Order To Survive band, the disc delivers an encore taste of Cooper-Moore's big handed piano stylings and Susie Ibarra's pandemic percussion with ...
Larry Ochs Sax & Drumming Core: The Neon Truth
by Kurt Gottschalk
Intentions don’t always dictate results, and in fact many great works have been the result of mistake or happenstance. So while it’s interesting to note what saxophonist Larry Ochs had wanted his Sax & Drumming Core to be, it doesn’t have a lot to do with the successes of their first record. In ...
