Richard Leo Johnson and Gregg Bendian: Who Knew Charlie Shoe?
by John Kelman
Talk to most guitarists and you'll find self-admitted gear heads looking for the latest and greatest--or, conversely, vintage--instruments, representing unparalleled craftsmanship. Still, guitarists like ex-Ry Cooder and Jackson Browne collaborator David Lindley revel in finding old instruments that may be cheap but possess unmistakable character. Guitarist Richard Leo Johnson continues the story begun on The Legend ...
Ahleuchatistas: Even In The Midst...
by Glenn Astarita
As a teen growing up in the 1970s, I was enamored by the complexities of a budding transcontinental progressive-rock scene. Odd-metered time signatures and jazz-like explorations were a feast for the ears, thanks to bands such as Gentle Giant, King Crimson and others. Fast-forwarding to the millennium, a new harvest of performers is perhaps ruling the ...
Healing Force: The Songs Of Albert Ayler
by Mark Corroto
The candle that burns the brightest does burn for the shortest time. Saxophonist Albert Ayler only recorded music from 1962 until his death (was it suicide?) in 1970. Self described as the Holy Ghost to John Coltrane the Father and Pharoah Sanders the Son, he was a prophet of free jazz of the 1960s. ...
Steve Lacy / Roswell Rudd Quartet: Early And Late
by Robert Iannapollo
Steve Lacy (soprano saxophone) and Roswell Rudd (trombone) had a long and illustrious musical history together dating back to the 1950s playing in Dixieland ensembles. By the early 1960s, they were committed modernists and formed a quartet devoted (mostly) to the music of Monk; School Days, a 1963 live date released twelve years later on hatOLOGY ...
Golia / Josephson / Kaiser / Keneally / Morris / Smith / Walter: Healing Force: The Songs of Albert Ayler
by Troy Collins
Revered for his uncompromising 1960s New Thing innovations, seminal free jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler's often maligned cross-over work from the end of the decade received widespread criticism. Seeking a wider audience, Ayler's final efforts often presented the lyrical contributions of his girlfriend, Mary Maria" Parks in more traditional blues-based settings. Widely misunderstood and commonly ...
The Claudia Quintet: For
by Mark Corroto
Drummer John Hollenbeck's Claudia Quintet has created a sound. Let's not call it jazz, or chamber music, or rock for that matter. It is the Claudia sound, period. The trouble, of course with being original, is that the pigeon-holers cannot pigeonhole you and the radio folks won't play you. But then, everyone with an ear for ...
The Mahavishnu Project: Return to the Emerald Beyond
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il gruppo guidato dal batterista Gregg Bendian affronta un compito davvero arduo: riproporre dal vivo l’intero secondo album della seconda edizione della Mahavishnu Orchestra, intitolato Visions of the Emerald Beyond. Un lavoro affascinante, ma non particolarmente fortunato dal punto di vista del successo discografico. Un'opera molto ambiziosa registrata in studio dalla band di John McLaughlin nel ...
The Claudia Quintet: For
by Tom Greenland
It's a challenge to describe the Claudia Quintet's sound: there are patent references, but distinct departures from these references as well. For, their newest project on Cuneiform, reunites Drew Gress (bass), John Hollenbeck (drums and electronica), Matt Moran (vibes), Ted Reichman (accordion) and Chris Speed (clarinet and tenor sax), continuing a trajectory established on three previous ...
