Chicago Underground Trio: Chronicle

Read "Chronicle" reviewed by Seamus Seoighe

With albums being put out by an ever-changing group of musicians over the last decade-and-a-half, carrying the torch as the Chicago Underground implies a commitment to pushing boundaries; be it sonic boundaries, or the boundaries that could inhibit a trio creating live ...

Various Artists: Jimmy Dawkins Presents the Leric Records Story

Read "Jimmy Dawkins Presents the Leric Records Story" reviewed by Nic Jones


The term “stalwart" wasn't invented for Jimmy Dawkins, but as far as the Chicago blues scene is concerned that's just what he is.

Rich Corpolongo Trio: Get Happy

Read "Get Happy" reviewed by Nic Jones


This is a trio that harks back to Sonny Rollins' work with piano-less groups over half a century ago, but there's nothing slavishly imitative about its music. Instead the evocation is joyous enough by itself to justify the title, and the uncalculated way in which the group goes about its work underlines it. ...

Read "The New York Contemporary Five" reviewed by John Barron


Although saxophonist Archie Shepp is listed as the leader of this release, The New York Contemporary Five was really a collective; a short-lived, free jazz super-group from the early 1960s. The band, with a front line of Shepp, cornetist Don Cherry and alto saxophonist John Tchicai, was recorded live at the famed Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, ...
