Dapp Theory: Y
by Rex Butters
The fertile creative ground of M-Base continues to bear fruit with the release of longtime Steve Coleman keyboardist Andy Milne’s Dapp Theory. At a recent Ravi Coltrane gig, I mentioned to Milne how different his playing sounded from his work with Coleman. Surprised, he said, “Well, yeah, it’s a different music.” While Dapp Theory is a ...

Poncho Sanchez: Out Of Sight
by Jim Santella
Latin jazz has its champion. Poncho Sanchez is one of those unique leaders who has never let the jazz go out of Latin jazz. From the lessons he learned from the remarkable examples set forth by Cal Tjader, Mongo Santamaria and other pioneers, Papa Gato, as he is affectionately called by those close to him, has ...
Diane Schuur: Midnight
by C. Michael Bailey
Diane Schuur has always been a durable presence on the music scene. She has skirted the periphery of the jazz genre, never fully making her way in due to her penchant for popular music. Her Basie album was prime Schuur to be sure and should be taken seriously. She is above all a great performer. On ...
Dapp Theory: Y'All Just Don't Know
by AAJ Staff
By now, three albums out of the gate, Andy Milne has earned the right to stand on his own. The piano/keyboard player spent seven years with saxophonist Steve Coleman, a ten-disc tenure he likens (somewhat loftily) to the relationship McCoy Tyner had with John Coltrane--and the sharing of ideas within that context has touched his music ...

It's no coincidence that recent releases by Ralph Alessi , Ravi Coltrane , Matt Garrison , Gene Lake , and Vijay Iyer have been rhythmatic thrill rides - there's simply no choice in the matter after having dealt with all that Coleman is ...

Eddie Palmieri: Ritmo Caliente
by Ollie Bivens
Latin jazz musician Eddie Palmieri has been quoted as saying, “I'm a frustrated percussionist, so I take it out on the piano." On his latest release, he does just that. Palmieri is not a Latin jazz purist. On past records, he has fused Latin and non-Latin music forms. The only track on which this is done ...
