Fred Anderson: 21st Century Chase

Read "21st Century Chase" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

To quote Roger Daltry of The Who, from 1965: Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation) And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation) I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation) I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation) This is ...

Read "21st Century Chase" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza

Rob Mazurek: Sound Is

Read "Sound Is" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

C'è molto di quella che è stata fino a oggi la carriera di Mazurek in questo eccellente disco, registrato assieme ad alcuni suoi vecchi compagni di viaggio attraverso l'underground di Chicago e di San Paolo del Brasile. In effetti, il cornettista quarantaquattrenne riunisce in queste quattordici tracce uno sviluppo di suoni ipnotici che si susseguono nella ...

Eddie C. Campbell: Tear This World Up

Read "Tear This World Up" reviewed by Nic Jones

by Nic Jones

Eddie C. Campbell might have been born in Mississippi, but it's his mastery of Chicago blues, and more particularly the west side variant of the form, that he's known for. He's a guitar slinger of the first order too, one of the few who can still get sufficient life out of the blues form, as opposed ...

Shirley Johnson: Blues Attack

Read "Blues Attack" reviewed by Nic Jones

by Nic Jones

Shirley Johnson can't be accused of lacking musical experience. The weekly artist in residence in Chicago's Blue Chicago club for the last seventeen years, she brings all of that to bear here in a program which exudes the kind of authority only experience can instill. She covers bases too. The title track is notable for its ...

Nicole Mitchell's Black Earth Strings: Renegades

Read "Renegades" reviewed by Nic Jones

by Nic Jones

Here's where Nicole Mitchell's art comes together. Whereas her previous releases could have been marked by the perhaps inevitable signs of individuality coming into being, here the overall coherence of the music is extraordinary, aided in no small part by her choice of cohorts and their evidently strong commitment to group identity and singular music possessed ...

Josh Berman: Old Idea

Read "Old Idea" reviewed by Nic Jones

by Nic Jones

If it really is about old ideas, as the title of this album by cornetist Josh Berman states, then the ones expressed here are done so in collective tongues fresh enough to be transformative, from mouths breathing new life into them. Berman has been a stalwart of the Chicago improvised music community for awhile now, and ...

Mitchell was voted Jazz Flutist of the Year in 2008 by the Jazz Journalist Association and in 2006 the Chicago Tribune named her Chicagoan of the Year. On Renegades, Mitchell's second release for Delmark Records, the Co-President ...

Rob Mazurek Quintet: Sound Is

Read "Sound Is" reviewed by Nic Jones

by Nic Jones

On the surface, cornet and keyboard player Rob Mazurek doesn't seem to have a lot of time for the past. His commitment to music outside of any overt “jazz" continuum helps keep him fresh and avoid the sterility of a neo-conservative stance, so that even when the experimental nature of the music misfires, the degree of ...
