David Lyttle & Phil Robson: IN2

Read "IN2" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

The title of drummer David Lyttle and guitarist Phil Robson's debut duo album is as direct and uncluttered as the music contained herein. Equally divided between time-honored standards and stylistically sympathetic originals--three by the Lyttle and one by Robson--the duo's straight-ahead, tradition-grounded language is perhaps a departure from their more genre-fluid work, particularly Lyttle's hip-hop filtered, ...

Jaga Jazzist: '94 - '14

Read "Jaga Jazzist: '94 - '14" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

It's hard to believe that Norway's Jaga Jazzist is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, in 2014. Not that there aren't other groups that have lasted as long, but look for a group whose primary composer was just 14 when the whole thing began, find a band where five out of its eight current members were ...

Dan Costa: Beams

Read "Beams" reviewed by Craig Arthur

by Craig Arthur

UK-born pianist Dan Costa plays and composes in the impressionistic tradition of Bill Evans, acoustic Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea or Marcin Wasilewski. It is a style that lends itself well to the alchemy of turning light into music, music into light. And his subject matter of choice on Beams, like that of an impressionist painter, is ...

Phil Markowitz: Solo Piano Live in Rome

Read "Solo Piano Live in Rome" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Newyorchese, settant'anni compiuti da pochi mesi, Phil Markowitz si è fatto le ossa accanto a Chet Baker per poi legare il suo nome soprattutto a Dave Liebman. Il classico pianista accompagnatore? Sì e no, perché se è vero che, come molti colleghi di strumento, eccelle nel far risaltare le doti del solista che occupa il centro ...

Dave Liebman: Dave Liebman: Live at Smalls

Read "Dave Liebman: Live at Smalls" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic

A brief, charged commencement by Dave Liebman and trumpeter Peter Evans (Mostly Other People Do the Killing, Mary Halvorson) launches Dave Liebman: Live at Smalls and from there the nocturne reaches out like a rhizome—laterally, vertically, horizontally—thriving into your consciousness, taking root, expanding . . . Free jazz is and will always be a ...

David Binney: Barefooted Town

Read "David Binney: Barefooted Town" reviewed by Josef Woodard

by Josef Woodard

Continuing Saga of the Strong Seeker I remember distinctly during the 2007 Montreal Jazz Festival, sifting through and measuring up the usual blur of stimuli, seeking out the prizes among prizes in the program. In one corner, there was Wayne Shorter, in the finest of his performance I'd ever heard—playing up his suits as composer and ...
