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 ...

Mickey Finn + Cuong Vu: Gagarin!
by AAJ Italy Staff
Apprendiamo da Wikipedia che “Mickey Finn" è un termine gergale usato per indicare un drink addizionato di sostanze psicotrope, servito all'insaputa del malcapitato con l'intento di fargli perdere conoscenza e derubarlo. Potrebbe bastare questo per inquadrare il progetto dell'omonima band, perché il loro Gagarin! contiene dodici brani vogliosi d'esplorazione, pieni di allucinazioni sonore, labirinti ritmici, e ...
It's The Drummer, Stupid
by Mark Corroto
If you're a jazz misanthrope you probably think first to “shoot the pianist," a saying taken from the Francois Truffaut film of the same name, Tirez sur le pianiste. Truth be told, the most effective way to pull the plug on a jazz band, a very good jazz band, is to take out the drummer. An ...
Leading Questions: Cuong Vu
Photo and Interview by Steve Korn Someone once told me that “there’s no money in music!” That’s it. No follow-up to this “heaviness.” What a dumb-ass. If I could do it all over again, I’d be more fearless in pursuing whatever I wanted. The first reason is that I’ve finally learned that the things I fear ...
