Ben Goldberg: Go Home
by Dan McClenaghan
This disc rocks, which is not something normally said about sets led by a clarinetist. But it doesn't begin that way. The sound of Go Home, from clarinetist/composer Ben Goldberg, croons to life with a smooth and creamy licorice stick/cornet unison interlude on “TGO," with the dark wood-wielding leader joined by brass man Ron Miles for ...
Ben Goldberg's Bag: Tin Hat & Go Home
by Dan Bilawsky
Ben Goldberg's music has never followed a set course or formula and the forward-thinking clarinetist always sticks to his guns when making artistic decisions. This has often resulted in positive press for his innovative work and it appears to have propelled him to take control of his own destiny. BAG Production Records is Goldberg's new, self-created ...
David Binney / Alan Ferber: In the Paint
by John Kelman
With an influence felt, perhaps, as much or more in the work of others than in his own record sales, alto saxophonist David Binney rarely co-leads groups, but his longstanding collaboration with pianist Edward Simon has been fruitful in more ways than one. Sharing compositional and conceptual duties frees him to focus more on his playing, ...

Charlie Hunter Goes for Harder Jazz Groove
As a child, jazz guitarist Charlie Hunter lived in a hippie commune and traveled the country in a hippie bus. But don't call him a hippie kid. “I wasn't a hippie kid; I was a kid with a hippie mom," says Hunter, 42. “I have absolutely zero affinity for the culture. When you're a kid growing ...
John Ellis & Double-Wide: Puppet Mischief
by Chris May
Brooklyn-based saxophonist John Ellis is a player who, whenever he puts his horn in his mouth, makes it seem like retro-modern is the only show in town. His style is part classic soul and funk, part modern jam band groove and part freewheeling improvisation. He has a particular affinity with New Orleans roots music and also ...
Nils Petter Molvaer: Hamada
by Chris May
Despite ample evidence to the contrary, for many people trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær is synonymous with understated, electronica-drenched, ambient music. The perception gets stronger the further the Norwegian's name travels from its home turf, despite his record company's best efforts. In 2006, Sula Records released the fierce, high temperature An American Compilation, partly to increase Molvær's ...

James Farm at Salle Pleyel in Paris
by David Miller
James FarmSalle PleyelParis, FranceJanuary 16, 2010 The musicians in James Farm walked out onto the stage purposefully--four hip cats. The dim lighting at Salle Pleyel accentuated their mysteriousness, casting shadows over their faces as they took up their instruments. Eric Harland stood out as the coolest of the bunch in his ...
Charlie Hunter: Gentlemen, I Neglected to Inform You You Will Not Be Getting Paid
by John Kelman
As ever, 7-string guitarist Charlie Hunter can be counted on to shake things up every couple of discs. After two trio sets with keyboardist Erik Deutsch, Hunter returns to the horn-driven breadth of Right Now Move (Ropeadope, 2003). On Gentlemen, I Neglected to Inform You You Will Not Be Getting Paid, however, Hunter trades Right Now's ...
