Rich Halley Quartet featuring Bobby Bradford: Live At The Penofin Jazz Festival
by Bruce Lindsay
As the title suggests, Live At The Penofin Jazz Festival is a straight-from-the-stage recording, from the 2008 Festival held at Potter Valley, California. It chronicles a fiery, upbeat performance, from the Rich Halley Quartet, that combines composed and improvised music in an interesting and enjoyable set of tunes. Four of the compositions can be found on ...
Patrick Cornelius: Fierce
by Bruce Lindsay
Fierce is alto saxophonist Patrick Cornelius' second album as leader, following his self-produced 2006 debut, Lucid Dream. It's an album on which the young Berklee and Manhattan School of Music graduate explores his love of the chord-less jazz ensemble, with no piano, guitar or organ heard on these nine original compositions. Cornelius is ...
Gilad Atzmon and The Orient House Ensemble: The Tide Has Changed
by Bruce Lindsay
The genre-conflating musical behemoth that is the Orient House Ensemble, led by multi-instrumentalist, composer, essayist and political commentator Gilad Atzmon, celebrates its 10th anniversary with the release of its seventh album, The Tide Has Changed. Funny, eerie, romantic and intriguing by turns, this is a work of tremendous warmth and strength. Atzmon's spirit and soul inhabit ...
Peter Schwebs: Stories From Sugar Hill
by Bruce Lindsay
Bassist Peter Schwebs may have only completed his graduate studies in 2008, but he is already an experienced sideman with some major jazz figures, including Dave Liebman, and Chris Potter. On the evidence of Stories From Sugar Hill, his first album as leader, he is more than ready to take center stage. Schwebs composed all of ...
[em]: [em] live
![Read "[em] live" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay](https://s3.amazonaws.com/allaboutjazz/coverart/2010/[em]_[em]live_bl.jpg)
by Bruce Lindsay
[em] live is the fourth album from [em], the German trio also known as Wollny/Kruse/Schaefer. The album was recorded at the 2010 JazzBaltica festival in Salzau--the complete concert except, as the sleeve notes declare somewhat sternly, “for listening pleasure the applause has been shortened." It's a combination of new compositions and four tunes taken from [em]'s ...
Chase Baird: Crosscurrent
by Bruce Lindsay
Crosscurrent is 22 year-old tenor saxophonist/composer Chase Baird's debut as a leader. These are the basic facts, but they fail to convey anything meaningful about the music to be found here. Crosscurrent doesn't sound like a debut album: Baird's sax playing doesn't sound like it comes from a 22 year-old. This is a beautifully assured recording, ...
Alexander McCabe: Quiz
by Bruce Lindsay
Quiz, alto saxophonist Alexander McCabe's second album as leader, appears five years after his previous release, The Round (Wamco Music, 2005). McCabe has been a member of Ray Charles' Orchestra and ska band Mephiskapheles, as well as working with jazz greats like Joe Henderson and Ray Brown. He cites tenor giants Ben Webster, John Coltrane and ...
Trudy Kerr and Ingrid James: Reunion
by Bruce Lindsay
Two talented vocalists, top-class musicians, inspired song selections, a few new lyrics and a genuinely original set of arrangements come together to make Reunion: a fresh-sounding and charming album from Australian singers Trudy Kerr and Ingrid James. Kerr, based in London since 1990, and James have been friends for many years. Each of them has toured ...
Am I "Jazz People?"
by Bruce Lindsay
I rarely write anything too serious in a JazzLife UK article and, for the most part, this month's missive will be no different. However, the summer of 2010 started very sadly for UK jazz with the deaths of four popular, talented and influential musicians, and it seems appropriate to write a few words to remember each ...
Youn Sun Nah: Same Girl
by Bruce Lindsay
Same Girl is Youn Sun Nah's seventh album, and finds the young Korean singer continuing to explore an eclectic mix of original songs and left-field covers in the company of the stylish trio that joined her on Voyage (ACT, 2009). By turns funny, inventive, dramatic, melodramatic and reflective Same Girl confirms Nah's abilities as a vocalist ...
