Eugene Chadbourne: The Hills Have Jazz

Read "The Hills Have Jazz" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza

by Jerry D'Souza

Among the interesting anecdotes in the liner notes to The Hills Have Jazz, Eugene Chadbourne includes one about Wes Craven and his movie Cursed. Chadbourne was on the set, and his observations are both acute and humorous. When this record was to be released, Chadbourne dedicated it to Craven, whose movie actually lived up to its ...

Bud Shank Quartet with Phil Woods: Bouncing With Bud & Phil: Live at Yoshi's

Read "Bouncing With Bud & Phil: Live at Yoshi's" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza

by Jerry D'Souza

The saying that it is never too late holds true for Bud Shank and Phil Woods. Both are now in their seventies and have notched several impressive milestones along the way. It was only in the very recent past that they came together, first on a jazz cruise and then during concerts in the USA, Holland ...

Bud Shank & Phil Woods: Bouncing With Bud & Phil: Live At Yoshi's

Read "Bouncing With Bud & Phil: Live At Yoshi's" reviewed by AAJ Staff

On Bouncing With Bud And Phil, Bud Shank, once the epitome of West Coast cool, teams up with Phil Woods for an outstanding program of fiery, heartfelt bebop. Both saxophonists are now in their seventies, but neither shows any sign of slowing down. Their playing is warm and inspired, bursting with energy and swing. ...

William Parker: Sound Unity & Two Masters & Mass for the Healing of the World

Read "William Parker: Sound Unity & Two Masters & Mass for the Healing of the World" reviewed by Jeff Stockton

by Jeff Stockton

William Parker Quartet Sound Unity AUM Fidelity 2005 Recorded live in Montreal and Vancouver during the William Parker Quartet's tour in the summer of 2004, Sound Unity doesn't pack the same startling punch as the the group's first release, 2001's O'Neal's Porch (AUM Fidelity), but this pianoless quartet, with its ...

John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble: A Blessing

Read "A Blessing" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

I heard the news today oh boy, four thousand holes in the jazz canon. And though the holes were rather small, they had to count them all. Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Carnegie Hall. With apologies to Lennon/McCartney (and the Michael Jackson corporation that owns the music), John ...

You have to admire itinerant working musicians who manage to put together fresh sounding recording dates that show their broader interests, while at the same time taking care of business. Ray Marchica was the house drummer for the Rosie O'Donnell Show for six years, but while that may have been his bread and butter, he's also ...

Bud Shank and Phil Woods: Bouncin' With Bud & Phil: Live at Yoshi's

Read "Bouncin' With Bud & Phil: Live at Yoshi's" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Bouncin' With Bud and Phil features a front line of two veteran alto saxophonists, Bud Shank and Phil Woods, in a freewheeling, sometimes thoughtful, often elegant wailing live session. Both are septuagenarians, and the set sounds less like a sparring session--a younger man's game--than a lively conversation, full of spirited give and take, a swapping of ...

Eugene Chadbourne: The Hills Have Jazz

Read "The Hills Have Jazz" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

Since starting his homegrown label a few years back, Eugene Chadbourne has had no end of opportunities to digitize his whims and send them to market. Among the many projects on his Chadula label has been a series (eight at present) of “horror CDs that run the gamut from arrangements of horror movie themes to unnerving ...
