Jason Adasiewicz: Sun Rooms
by Nic Jones
It's clear from Sun Rooms, perhaps more than from any of his previous efforts on record, that Jason Adasiewicz is offering something pretty personal. Sure, it's possible to name check both '60s-era Bobby Hutcherson and Walt Dickerson as points of reference, but they serve simply to highlight the fact that Adasiewicz is--for want of a better ...

Joe Gilman: Americanvas
by Bruce Lindsay
Pianist Joe Gilman leads a young and talented quintet on Americanvas, an album of original tunes inspired by American artists such as Mark Rothko, Edward Hopper and Norman Rockwell.

Ken Fowser & Behn Gillece: Little Echo
by Raul d'Gama Rose
If Marc Free, Nick O'Toole and the team at Posi-Tone Records continue producing albums in the same manner as they have been since the inception of the label in 1994, they will surely be further along the path to emulating the legacy of the Blue Note label, which has produced some of the finest music of ...

(This interview was conducted in 2002) Abbey Lincoln made a stop in Amsterdam in 1998 for a rare appearance at the 110-year old Concertgebouw, where Sonny Rollins likes to play when he comes to town. The sellout crowd was composed mainly of seemingly staid yet perennially hip “pensionados" (as the Dutch like to ...
Thierry Gomar: Between Two Worlds: Opus II

By means of discrete electronic treatment of the recording on the one hand, and a particularly rich synthesis of musical influences--contemplative music somewhere at the juncture between jazz and contemporary composition--on ...

Ken Fowser & Behn Gillece: Little Echo
by Dan Bilawsky
Tenor saxophone and vibraphone frontlines--while not as commonplace as two horn teams--have their place in history. Lionel Hampton and Stan Getz had a marvelous meeting in the studio and Milt Jackson recorded with Sonny Rollins, Coleman Hawkins and John Coltrane, on different occasions. Bobby Hutcherson added to this legacy, working with Dexter Gordon and maintaining a ...
