Roberto Juan Rodriguez/Septeto Rodriguez: Baila! Gitano Baila!
by John Kelman
The pervasiveness of the Jewish music tradition is a remarkable thing, something that has only become known to a larger public in recent years through John Zorn's tireless efforts to expand the boundaries of the music and show its truly international flavour. With his own Masada projects, Tzadik label, and Radical Jewish Culture imprint, he has ...
Holly Hofmann: Minor Miracle
by Dan McClenaghan
I'm indebted to Holly Hofmann. I had very little interest in jazz flute until I encountered First Date (Capri Records, '03) by Flutology, a set that featured a front line trio of flutists Hofmann, Frank Wess and Ali Ryerson. The opener, the classic high octane “Be Bop," knocked me out. It seemed such an “un-flutey" number, ...
Albert Ayler: Holy Ghost
by A. Henkin
Albert Ayler Holy Ghost Revenant 2004 Albert Ayler was a mysterious figure. His recording career was relatively brief, beginning in 1962 and ending in 1970, with several of the entries live performances released many years after his passing. His demise itself was a bizarre circumstance. Revenant Records, ...
Judi Silvano: Let Yourself Go
by Dan McClenaghan
Judi Silvano Let Yourself Go Zoho Music 2004 Vocalist Judi Silvano's Let Yourself Go makes me long for the day when jazz was America's popular music. If that were the case today, this disc would sell a million copies and score three or four top ten radio hits. ...
Shirim Klezmer Orchestra and Maurice Sendak: Pincus and the Pig: A Klezmer Tale
by John Kelman
It had to happen. Saxophonist/composer/bandleader/producer John Zorn, that vanguard of the avant garde, has finally produced a family record under his Tzadik Radical Jewish Culture imprint.

Mike Holober and the Gotham Jazz Orchestra: Thought Trains
by John Kelman
Originally recorded in '96, years before Mike Holober's début small group recording Canyon (Sons of Sound, '03), Thought Trains is only now seeing the light of day, but it continues to assert the pianist/composer/arranger as a dominant new force on the New York scene. And while the larger ensemble context of Thought Trains limits the amount ...
Josh Workman: Jumpin' at the Border
by John Kelman
Guitarist Josh Workman may have spent his time on both the New York and Bay Area scenes, and has honed a fine mainstream sound in the ensuing years, but what separates him from the plethora of mainstream guitarists out there trying to make a mark is his remarkable breadth of style. Jumpin' at the Border is ...
Eric Hofbauer: American Vanity
by John Kelman
Even only a partially successful experiment deserves credit. Guitarist Eric Hofbauer, recently reviewed as a member of The Blueprint Project , has the guts to put out his first album as a leader as (a) a solo guitar record, (b) a concept album, and (c) an exploration of the concept of pride in American culture. By ...
Josh Workman: Jumpin' at the Border
by Dan McClenaghan
Guitarist Josh Workman's Jumpin' at the Border swings into that rare “I don't get enough of..." category. I don't get enough of his gypsy style with the Hot Club of San Francisco ("Kali Sara"); I don't get enough of his boppin' (Sippin' at Bell's); I don't get enough of Kim Nalley's bluesy and seductive vocals ("I ...
Steven Bernstein: Diaspora Hollywood

Trumpeter/composer Steven Bernstein's Diaspora Hollywood brings a Jewish tinge into a bluesy American jazz feeling; this mournful after-hours set brings some past sounds to mind while simultaneously pushing the vision forward.The ensemble features an unusual front line of the leader's trumpet with Pablo Calocero's baritone saxophone, bass clarinet and flutes, along with D.J. Bonebrake's ...
