by Jack Bowers

Matt Wilson’s Big Happy Family: Beginning of A Memory
by Mark Corroto
It's easy to imagine the phone calls, drummer Matt Wilson made, using his best imitation of Elwood from the 1980 Blues Brothers movie, “We're putting the band back together, we're on a mission from God."

Ingrid Laubrock/Tom Rainey: Buoyancy
by Mark Corroto
In baseball it's called “small ball." That might be the best way to describe the improvising duo of saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and drummer Tom Rainey. Small ball baseball teams win, not by home run blasts, but by putting runners in scoring position, bunting, and stealing bases. Flamboyant rarely wins the series. Confident, often understated play, is ...
