Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Make Magic Happen
by Karl Ackermann
Guitarist Jon Lundbom, with his Big Five Chord quintet, has developed the unusual marketing strategy of individually presenting each of a series of four EPs (at lower price points) over the course of 2016 with an option to purchase all as a box set. At approximately one half-hour each, it's a generous proposition; more so, given ...
Ken Peplowski: Enrapture
by Dan Bilawsky
How on earth do you successfully bind the music of Duke Ellington, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Fats Waller, Herbie Nichols, Bernard Herrmann, Peter Erskine, and Noël Coward into one coherent statement? The answer is simple: You don't, unless you're Ken Peplowski. Over the course of ten tracks from the aforementioned composers and other well-known tunesmiths, ...
Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Make Magic Happen
by Dan McClenaghan
The computer/internet age ushers in new ways of selling music. Record stores, flipping through bins of long playing albums--long gone. Compact discs--not selling like they used to. Digital downloads--the thing of the future? Guitarist Jon Lundbom has come up with the idea--influenced by trumpeter Dave Douglas' foray into this territory, perhaps, with his Three Views (Greenleaf, ...
Noah Preminger: Pivot: Live at the 55 Bar
by Alberto Bazzurro
Non ancora varcata la soglia dei trent'anni (ciò che accadrà il prossimo 2 giugno), il tenorsassofonista newyorchese Noah Preminger, allievo di Dave Liebman, firma con Pivot: Live at the 55 Bar quello che è già il quinto album a suo nome. Lo alimentano due soli brani (singolarmente entrambi tratti dal songbook del bluesman Bukka White) di ...
Aruan Ortiz Trio with Eric Revis and Gerald Cleaver: Hidden Voices
by Karl Ackermann
Cuban born pianist and composer Aruán Ortiz is just now starting to broaden his long-overdue recognition after two decades as a leader or collaborator. More than ten years prior to his new trio release, Hidden Voices, he had drawn favorable comparisons to Chick Corea and Ornette Coleman with Aruán Ortiz Trio Vol. 1 (Pimienta Records, 2004). ...
Jon Irabagon: Inaction is An Action
by Budd Kopman
Inaction Is An Action, simultaneously released with its almost polar opposite Behind The Sky, is a force of nature embodied in the sopranino saxophone as “played" solo by Jon Irabagon. From the point of view of how each piece “sounds," and each track truly is a composition, its range is astounding. It should not be surprising ...
Aruan Ortiz Trio: Hidden Voices
by Dan McClenaghan
The jazz piano trio comes in a wide spectrum of approaches, from the traditional--Red Garland, Tommy Flanagan--to the way out there avant-garde, like Cecil Taylor. When the subject of “Cuban pianists" comes up, some of the first names that come to mind are probably those who work in a traditional vein: Chucho Valdes, perhaps, or maybe ...
Jon Irabagon: Behind The Sky
by Budd Kopman
Simply put, Behind The Sky is a flat-out superlative recording by saxophonist Jon Irabagon. Straddling “inside" and “outside," it can be appreciated by those more comfortable with the straight-ahead (with some stretching, of course), as well as those who enjoy music which challenges the ear and mind. The “rhythm section," consisting of pianist Luis ...
Julian Shore: Which Way Now?
by Dan Bilawsky
If the jazz world decided to elect a single questioning phrase to sum up its craft, this album title would be a great candidate. With three words and a single punctuation mark, the very heart of jazz--a music of infinite decision(s), not indecision, as some may (mis)read that--is laid out for all to see. Those who ...
