Satoko Fujii Min-Yoh Ensemble: Fujin Raijin
by Budd Kopman
If there is one thing certain in this world, it is that pianist Satoko Fujii will never stop expanding her musical horizons, nor stop amazing the listener. Fujin Raijin is a stupendous, almost terrifying record that shatters any and all expectations during its six tracks. Min-Yoh is Japanese folk music or folk songs ...
Marshall Allen / Lou Grassi: Live At The Guelph Festival
by Budd Kopman
Marshall Allen and Lou Grassi make quite a duo. On Live At The Guelph Festival, they play unprepared and unrehearsed music which, due to their skill, has a remarkable degree of coherence. Admittedly, this is free or avant-garde jazz, requiring coherence to be understood within that framework. Allen is currently leading the Sun ...

Buffalo, by bassist Adam Lane and his trio (Vinny Golia on tenor and soprano sax and drummer Vijay Anderson), represents the completion of a triptych taking place over two days in February, 2005.

by Budd Kopman
2007 was a wonderful year for jazz. Far from being dead, jazz lives and the pace of releases is quickening making it harder and harder to keep up. ECM, all by itself, could fill a Top Ten, so below are thirty-two releases that I found particularly memorable. Gebhard Ullmann This year belonged, in ...

After what appears to be an interlude of SteepleChase releases ( Brothers' Breakfast & Trio Alto Volume One, released in 2006 and Trio Alto, Volume 2, 2007), saxophonist Loren Stillman returns to his earlier quartet format with the marvelous Blind Date. The music on the current release connects directly to Stillman's first three ...
