Animation: Agemo

Read "Agemo" reviewed by Lawrence Peryer


One of the more intriguing albums issued in the first half of 2011, Animation's Asiento (RareNoise, 2011), has now begotten one of the best sets of the latter part of the year. Asiento was a live reimagining of trumpeter Miles Davis' seminal Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1970), recorded live in December 2006 as part ...

Various Artists: Miles Espanol: New Sketches of Spain

Read "Miles Espanol: New Sketches of Spain" reviewed by Eugene Holley, Jr.


In the days of the so-called Young Lions jazz wave--which lasted roughly, from 1981 to 1992--instrumentalists and singers were all the rage. At the tail end of that period, South Carolina-born saxophonist Bob Belden was making waves for his comprehensive and compelling arranging chops. Over the last two decades, Belden has brilliantly re-imagined the music of ...

Jazz Musician of the Day: Bob Belden

All About Jazz is celebrating Bob Belden's birthday today!

Quentin Moore: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Read "Quentin Moore: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki


Much has been recently written about the “graying" of jazz and the audience who listens to it, young musicians seem to continually discover (and rediscover) its enduring value--and not just the value of jazz as its own standalone genre, but the benefit of incorporating aspects of jazz, such as improvisation and arrangement, into music of every ...

Animation (Bob Belden - Tim Hagans): Asiento

Read "Asiento" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Bob Belden e Tim Hagans, con il loro gruppo elettrico Animation, si prendono una bella licenza poetica e rileggono integralmente il capolavoro milesiano Bitches Brew in uno scenario modernissimo che prende liberamente dall'hip hop e dal drum'n'bass, senza perdere di vista le geniali soluzioni strutturali che Miles Davis aveva messo a punto proprio per quel doppio ...

Jay Anderson: Driving the Bus

Read "Jay Anderson: Driving the Bus" reviewed by Ian Patterson


The term “sideman" really doesn't do justice to bassist Jay Anderson, as his beautifully melodic, lyrical lines and in-the-pocket-grooves lift and shape any music that he is a part of. And while the term “journeyman" holds some truth--Anderson has played with a huge number of people--one glance at his extensive discography reveals that most of the ...

Animation: Asiento

Read "Asiento" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


Jam bands Phish and Gov't Mule have been making a cottage industry of covering a famous LP for their respective Halloween concerts (the bands' “costumes," so to speak). In 2010, we were treated to Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus (Warner Brothers, 1978) and The Who's Who's Next (MCA, 1975), respectively. It is not ...

Animation: Asiento

Read "Asiento" reviewed by Mark Corroto


1969 was perhaps a watershed year for jazz in America. Trumpeter Miles Davis, the anointed pied piper, recorded Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1970). It was to be the beginning of jazz/rock fusion. Maybe better described as jazz/rock/soul/funk fusion. Miles wasn't one to miss out on trends. He saw the popularity of Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone, with ...
