Back after 45 years, 6 months, and 12 days, the bassist, now part of guitarist Marc Ribot's ...
Eric Revis: In Memory Of Things Yet Seen
by Henning Bolte
Bassist Eric Revis is a heavyweight in more than one respect. He is doing the improbable in a remarkable way, thereby ignoring collectively imposed and maintained demarcations at work. Armed with his physically very present, raw and vibrant bass sound he beats his track into the realms of freely improvised music. He made his debut as ...

Taylor Ho Bynum 7-tette: Navigation
by Vincenzo Roggero
L'intento--racconta lo stesso Taylor Ho Bynum nelle note di copertina--è quello di massimizzare la libertà dei musicisti nell'ambito delle sfide poste dalla rigidità e dalla struttura delle composizioni. A tal fine organizza Navigation (The Complete Firehouse 12 Recordings) in questo modo: una seduta dal vivo registrata il sette dicembre 2012 con il sestetto e fissata su ...
Taylor Ho Bynum: Navigation (Possible Abstracts XII & XIII)
by Mark Corroto
If Duke Ellington and Anthony Braxton were able to mix their DNA and reproduce themselves, the cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum would certainly be their scion.

Jazz: A Blessed Obsession
by Mark Corroto
Jazz listeners travel some strange and beautiful paths. It might have all begun with collectors trying to find a legendary Edison cylinder that New Orleans trumpeter Buddy Bolden--some believe to be the very first jazz musician--may (or may not) have recorded in 1904. Fast forward to modern times, a quick scan of eBay and the exorbitant ...
Sean Conly / Alex Harding / Darius Jones / Chad Taylor: Grass Roots
by Mark F. Turner
From the start of the track “Hotttness" the organized chaos is at first unsettling, yet gives way to a tight hook in the exceptional debut Grass Roots by a newly formed collective who sound like they've been playing together for decades. The two lead voices consist of alto saxophonist wunderkind Darius Jones ( Man'ish Boy (A ...
