Bill Cole & William Parker: Two Masters: Live at the Prism
by Jerry D'Souza
Over the years William Parker and Bill Cole have taken improvisation to new plateaus, through both individual projects and Cole's Untempered Ensemble, of which Parker is a member.

Eugene Chadbourne: The Hills Have Jazz
by John Kelman
Only the most committed of “B horror movie fans would catch guitarist and erstwhile eccentric Eugene Chadbourne's reference to Wes Craven's early low-budget flick The Hills Have Eyes.

Sonny Simmons: Jewels
by Clifford Allen
Solo saxophone recordings (and, for that matter, solo recordings in general) offer more than just a glimpse into the process of self-composing, of testing material and approaches to sound as well as getting into the nature of the instrument. Though it lacks the sparring that begets improvisation (for that reason, Derek Bailey prefers to call it ...
Borah Bergman and Tom Chapin: Toronto 1997
by Clifford Allen
Naked confrontation, or a pact made between two individuals to make something from nothing... freely improvised duets are, if not the “meat and potatoes" or backbone of free music, then at least one of the truest expressions of such an art form. A dialogue formed between two individuals, each with their own language, is that call-and-response ...
