Ken Thomson and Slow/Fast: It Would Be Easier If
by Bruce Lindsay
Ken Thomson, New York based saxophonist and composer, describes the music of Slow/Fast as “21st Century Third Stream." It's an apposite description, for it certainly brings together elements of jazz and classical music, but it underplays the third element of Slow/Fast's sound--the influence of rock. All four members of Slow/Fast, heard on the band's debut, It ...
Dave Frank: Portrait Of New York
by Bruce Lindsay
Twelve tunes inspired by or dedicated to the city of New York come together to form Portrait Of New York, only the fourth album by ex-Berklee Professor Dave Frank in a career as a musician and educator that stretches back to the '80s. Why Frank's recorded ouvre should be so brief is something of a mystery, ...
Colin Stranahan: Life Condition
by Bruce Lindsay
Drummer Colin Stranahan was something of a prodigy, gigging around his home town of Denver, Colorado, aged 11 years and releasing his first album, Dreams Untold (Capri Records, 2004) at the age of 17. Life Condition is his third album--inspired by a trip to India with Herbie Hancock and the Monk Institute Band. It's a mix ...
Tarbaby: The End Of Fear
by Bruce Lindsay
A band name that some might see as confrontational--although the band denies this--an album title that could be wildly optimistic, a statement of faith or simply ironic; some of the fieriest jazz players on the scene and a scary Hieronymus Bosch-style cover design. What kind of music might emanate from such a combination? Free form, loud, ...
Eugene Marlow's Heritage Ensemble: Celebrations
by Bruce Lindsay
Celebrations, the Heritage Ensemble's second album following Making The Music Our Own (MEII Enterprises, 2006), is subtitled Eugene Marlow's Heritage Ensemble Interprets Festive Melodies From The Hebraic Songbook. The review copy arrived with a polite but serious covering letter rather than the usual hyperbolic press release. The album's closing track is a lecture by bandleader and ...
Pascal Schumacher Quartet: Here We Gong
by Bruce Lindsay

A richly-rewarding album full of inventive melodies, tremendous playing, warmth and good humor, it establishes the Quartet at the forefront of the burgeoning European scene and Schumacher as one of the finest vibes players in contemporary jazz. The ...

Polar Bear with Jyager: Common Ground
by Bruce Lindsay
Sebastian Rochford, drummer and writer with Polar Bear, is one of Britain's most extraordinary musicians. The softly-spoken Scot is also one of the most curious of musicians, constantly seeking new sounds and collaborations both inside and outside the jazz world. On the fascinating Common Ground, Rochford gets new sounds from old sounds--eight of the tunes are ...

King Capisce: King Capisce
by Bruce Lindsay
King Capisce hails from Sheffield, in the north of England--the home city of Joe Cocker, ABC and the Arctic Monkeys. On the evidence of its debut , King Capisce, this quartet's own lineage bypasses these rock and pop superstars and tracks back, instead, to Sheffield's more experimental bands such as Cabaret Voltaire and ClockDVA, with contemporary ...
