Eric Revis: Trajectory From The Tradition
by R.J. DeLuke
The development of an individual voice on the contrabass is important to Eric Revis, one of the strongest players on the scene. His power and musicianship has endeared him to some of the finer musicians, and bands, in jazz. But Revis isn't content to let things lie there. Not that he has to be ...
Eric Revis: Eric Revis: In Memory Of Things Yet Seen
by John Sharpe
Although the title to bassist Eric Revis' quartet offering appears to pay homage to some of the early AACM documents (think pianist Muhal Richard Abrams' unaccompanied manifesto Things To Come From Those Now Gone (Delmark, 1975)), the actuality is a different animal entirely. Having rung the changes since the acclaimed City of Asylum, Revis' outfit acts ...
Eric Revis Quartet: In Memory of Things Yet Seen
by Vincenzo Roggero
Nel corso degli anni la figura artistica di Eric Revis--giunto alla ribalta delle cronache jazzistiche per la lunga permanenza nel quartetto di Branford Marsalis, qui presente in due brani--è andata acquisendo i contorni di musicista che, pur senza la pretesa di cambiare le sorti del jazz, ne è diventato esponente di spicco, dalla consistente vena creativa ...

Eric Revis: In Memory Of Things Yet Seen
by Henning Bolte
Bassist Eric Revis is a heavyweight in more than one respect. He is doing the improbable in a remarkable way, thereby ignoring collectively imposed and maintained demarcations at work. Armed with his physically very present, raw and vibrant bass sound he beats his track into the realms of freely improvised music. He made his debut as ...

Evan Parker/ Matthew Shipp: Rex, Wrecks & XXX
by John Sharpe
Few barriers remain in jazz. Certainly not geographical or generational. Even genre does not present insurmountable obstacles. Were it needed, further confirmation arrives in the shape of a meeting between two distinctive stylists: American pianist Matthew Shipp and English saxophone iconoclast Evan Parker. Far from being their first encounter, the pair know each other well, having ...
Adam Lane Trio: Absolute Horizon
by John Sharpe
Not enough is heard from Brooklyn-born bassist Adam Lane. He boasts an impressive track record, illuminated by a series of outstanding recordings, mainly on the CIMP label, but culminating in the acclaimed Ashcan Rantings (Clean Feed, 2010). Nothing has surfaced under his own name since, so any new disc grabs attention. That's not to say he ...

Here, every inflection, tonality and nuance becomes prominently embedded into the group's stylization which is based on instant composition. No doubt, the musicians' astonishing synergy is a ...
