Forbes Graham: Magenta Haze
by Gordon Marshall
Forbes Graham isn't hell-bent on taking the jazz world over by fiat. Then again, a sterling tone like Louis Armstrong's, a sense of stride and a sidewinder sleekness position him to do so. He brings spot-on timing, inherited from his key precursor, Don Cherry, into the icy age of post jazz--and swings, too, situated ...
POW! Darius Jones
The Brooklyn jazz scene has been a boon to New York, fostering a defiantly local culture that the city's biggest clubs (Blue Note, Vanguard, etc) sometimes lack. In Greenwich Village, you see top jazz stars deliver polished performances; at Brooklyn events like the New Languages Festival, you see scruffy young musicians experimenting, developing, emerging. Yet there's ...
Three Nights of Darius Jones @ Roulette!
PointofDeparture.org's Ed Hazell writes, “alto saxophonist Darius Jones delivers one of the most impressive debuts in recent memory, displaying a remarkably well-developed concept and individual sound. Jones has a big, fleshy, lived-in tone, with a vibrato that owes as much to Johnny Hodges as it does to Albert Ayler. It's defiant, vulnerable, proud, and weary; there ...

Darius Jones: Man'ish Boy (A Raw & Beautiful Thing)
by John Sharpe
Matthew Shipp once opined that Darius Jones arrived on the scene fully formed, and that is not far from the truth. His first appearance of note was at the 2008 Vision Festival, as part of trumpeter Lewis Barnes' Hampton Roads, confirming that Virginia native Jones was indeed the real McCoy. This debut recording with his own ...
Darius Jones: Man'ish Boy
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nel suo primo CD da leader Darius Jones, contraltista e compositore trasferitosi da Richmond a New York nel 2005, si rivela uno strumentista notevolissimo. Non sono certo gli impianti tematici e strutturali a costituire l'aspetto innovativo e rilevante di Man'ish Boy, inciso in studio nell'aprile 2009: si tratta infatti di nuclei melodico-ritmici semplici e insistiti, ideali ...

Morris chose two former students from the New ...
