Speak: Speak
by John Barron
The Seattle-based quintet Speak explores a multitude of musical moods with their eponymous recording debut. An exemplary model of genre-defying music, the disc features original compositions that delve into odd-metered progressive rock grooves and spontaneous bursts of improvised sound that are at times explosive. The opening cut “Amalgam in the Middle" makes anthemic pronouncements with an ...
Julia Dollison and Kerry Marsh: Raising Their Voices
by R.J. DeLuke
It's nice when people of similar interest and ambitions come together. Nicer still, when those things form the basis of a personal relationship; a partnership that results in the ultimate collaboration--marriage. For Julia Dollison and Kerry Marsh--singers who are also heavily involved in education, heightened by their successful operation of the jazz vocal program at California ...

Jan Gunnar Hoff: Magma
by John Kelman
Keyboardist Jan Gunnar Hoff may not have the international visibility of fellow keyboardist Bugge Wesseltoft, but with a growing discography dating back to the mid-1990s and including, most recently, the powerfully fusion-esque Jungle City (Alessa, 2009), with fellow countryman/bassist Per Mathisen and ex-Weather Report percussionist/drummer Alex Acuna, that deserves to change. At the core of the ...
John Geggie: Unexpected Conversations
by John Kelman
Most cities have them: musicians who act like a lightning rod, focusing and driving their jazz scenes. In Ottawa, Canada, bassist John Geggie has been one of those significant focal points for two decades, but in particular over the past ten years. He's one of the founding organizers and faculty members of Jazzworks which, amongst other ...
Jazz: The Ultimate in Undead
Among my collection of articles musing on the death or waning days of jazz, my favorite (so far) appeared in the spring 1997 issue of the Wilson Quarterly. Embellished with an engraving of Wynton Marsalis's face pasted atop a lace-cuffed frock coat and cocooned in a Mozart wig, the article, “Has Jazz Gone Classical?" hits the ...
Myra Melford's Be Bread: The Whole Tree Gone
by Nic Jones
Pianist Myra Melford founded this ensemble in 2002, specifically as an outlet for her compositions. She's blessed indeed, because this line up realizes them so beautifully. Her work can be described as pervasively contemplative though never quiet, which in its way is every bit as distinctive as the late Andrew Hill's depth of compositional character.
Myra Melford's Be Bread: The Whole Tree Gone
by John Sharpe
It's been too long since pianist Myra Melford's last release as bandleader, especially as we can now hear what we've been missing. For the second outing by her Be Bread ensemble, the pianist has assembled an all star cast of frequent collaborators. Bassist Stomu Takeishi, guitarist Brandon Ross and trumpeter Cuong Vu are holdovers from the ...
