Brad Goode: Nature Boy
by Nic Jones
Trumpeter Goode is one of those musicians for whom the post-bop continuum fits like the proverbial glove. In the still far from overdone setting of trumpet and rhythm section he brings something fresh, to pieces such as the title track and “I Remember You." Both almost literally qualify for the term venerable and do indeed in ...
Nicole Mitchell’s Black Earth Ensemble: Black Unstoppable
by AAJ Italy Staff

by Jerry D'Souza
Why does tenor saxophonist Keefe Jackson call this band Project Project? Is it because he gives composition and improvisation separate identities and the merges them skillfully?

Keefe Jackson's Project Project: Just Like This
by John Barron
Just Like This, Chicago-based saxophonist/composer Keefe Jackson's second recording as a leader for Delmark Records, is a vivacious, provocative musical statement featuring the 12-member collective, Project Project. With hints of Charles Mingus and Duke Ellington, Jackson's compositions are ripe with thick chord clusters, swinging rhythms and jarring, yet lyrical melodies. Interspersed amongst orchestral flourishes and stand-out ...
