Rashied Al Akbar / Muhammad Ali / Earl Cross / Idris Ackamoor: Ascent of the Nether Creatures

Read "Ascent of the Nether Creatures" reviewed by John Sharpe


The Lithuanian based No Business label deserves an award for its unstinting documentation of the loft jazz scene in NYC during the 1970s and early '80s. Often characterized as a time when nothing was happening, the reality couldn't be further from the truth. With the influx of new talent from the mid-West and California, the performance ...

Charles Tyler: Eastern Man Alone

Read "Eastern Man Alone" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Charles Tyler fa parte di quella schiera di musicisti che hanno partecipato alla rivoluzione della New Thing senza assurgere alla statura di eroi o leggendari protagonisti, ma lavorando piuttosto nell'ombra o a fianco di stelle di prima grandezza. Come successe al nostro, che incontrò Albert Ayler a Cleveland lo seguì fino a New York entrando nella ...

Russ Gershon: Time Traveler, Four Million Years Later

Read "Russ Gershon: Time Traveler, Four Million Years Later" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Twenty-five years is a long time in jazz. When saxophonist/composer/bandleader Russ Gershon founded the Either/Orchestra back in 1985, trumpeter Miles Davis was on the crest of his jazz/funk comeback wave, and the so-called Young Lions movement fronted by trumpeter Wynton Marsalis was coming into prominence, just as Weather Report--the last of the great '70s fusion bands--was ...

David S. Ware and Joe Rigby: Loft Jazz Soloists

Read "David S. Ware and Joe Rigby: Loft Jazz Soloists" reviewed by Clifford Allen


In the void left by the deaths of saxophonists John Coltrane and Albert Ayler, among the cheap rents in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn offering space to artists and musicians, the presence of affordable loft spaces birthed an intersection of jazz scenes in the 1970s. The music itself favored a variety of approaches, mostly built on the ...

Charles Tyler: Charles Tyler Ensemble

Read "Charles Tyler Ensemble" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


E' inevitabile ricordare Albert Ayler ascoltando questo disco. Il sax dolorante, l'astrattismo imperante, il ricorso agli strumenti ad arco, il parossismo della cantabilità tematica accostata all'esplosione free non lasciano dubbi.
