Thinking Plague: A History of Madness
by AAJ Staff
Too much texture can be a dangerous thing. Thinking Plague, nominally a sextet, picks up five extra players for parts here and there on A History Of Madness, and the end result is a multi-layered creation. Fortunately the combination works quite well. It ends up sounding full-bodied and detailed, with plenty of understated polyrhythms ...
Curlew: Mercury
by AAJ Staff
Curlew is a long-standing revolving fusion unit with deep roots, drawing heavily from New York's alternative music scene over 24 years and nine records.

But the freshness quickly wore off; innovation gave way to derivative technical exercises; and the sales balm was only temporary. But in its nascent stages, creative groups were ...
Nucleus: Live In Bremen
by Nic Jones
The passage of time has made fusing jazz and rock seem silly and somewhat obvious. The decline of the idiom, when the music consisted of extended fearsome solos, nailed that point home. For every Miles Davis group there were five collections of earnest young men with beards, abundant technique, and no fear of using it.
Curlew: North America
by Glenn Astarita
The original North America LP was issued for the Moers record label back in 1986. Thankfully, Cuneiform Records has released this gem along with several tracks culled from a 1983 performance at the New York City venue known as Mort’s Place. Curlew was in the vortex of New York’s early '80s “downtown scene,” ...
