Chick Corea: Sometime Ago
by Mike Jurkovic
Everyone listening to Sometime Ago, a previously unheard deep dive into solo Chick Corea, is hereby pardoned and excused if at first Sometime Ago is mistaken for a previously unreleased (or unremembered) Keith Jarrett concert. Jarrett had just recently ventured into solo territory at the Stadthalle in Heidelberg, Germany in June of 1972. So the vibe ...

Patricia Brennan And Sylvie Courvoisier, Ambrose Akinmusire And Mary Halvorson, Mick Goodrick And Fred Hersch: Playing Doubles
by Doug Collette
Watching a musician perform solo vividly illustrates how difficult it is to play music well.

Miles Davis' 3rd Quintet: Reference: Bitches Brew Live 1969 In Europe
by Mark Corroto
For Miles Davis, timing was everything. His music rarely stood still long enough for audiences to catch up. The Columbia releases of Filles de Kilimanjaro (January 29, 1969) and In a Silent Way (July 30, 1969) marked the decisive bridge between his acoustic past and electric future. Yet Davis was already moving beyond that bridge before ...
Soojin Suh: Prism of Existence
by Mike Jurkovic
Of the many good things to be said about the raucous Prism of Existence--with Korean drummer Soojin Suh, double bassist Hoo Kim and Jaehun Kang--the least is that the kick-off, “Uncertainty I -Everlasting Peace" just may be the most rambunctious opening track as any to be heard in a good long while. Despite its mellow title, ...

Zen Zadravec: New Paradigm
by Jack Bowers
While there are few new wrinkles on Canadian-born pianist Zen Zadravec's album, New Paradigm, neither is there anything to mar this well-wrapped post-bop session comprised of eight of his generally bright and pleasing compositions and arrangements. Zadravec leads what is essentially a sextet (three-horn front line and rhythm), mixing things up by adding a ...
