Joseph Jarman: As If It Were The Seasons
by Nic Jones
As a charter member of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, multi-reed player Joseph Jarman has been responsible for fashioning an entirely different approach to group improvisation from a time in the mid-1960s, when both John Coltrane and Albert Ayler were breaking with established practices. In a sense Jarman's career since has been an exercise in the ...
Robert Jr. Lockwood: Steady Rollin' Man
by Nic Jones
Guitarist Robert Jr. Lockwood had Robert Johnson not only as a stepfather but also as a guitar tutor. What Johnson couldn't have taught him, however, was how to come by ears big enough to take in the playing of Charlie Christian, but the fact that he did gives this music an edge it might otherwise have ...
Joseph Jarman: As If It Were The Seasons
by Troy Collins
As If It Were The Seasons was Joseph Jarman's second album for Delmark records, following his 1966 debut, Song For.

Dewey Jackson: Live at the Barrel 1952
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
An exact contemporary of Louis Armstrong, St. Louis trumpet player Dewey Jackson (1900-1966) claimed that his favorite players of the instrument were Louis Desvigne, Johnny Dunn and Tommy Ladnier. Approximately one percent of you are nodding your heads sagely at this point, saying, “Ah, another trumpeter from the Desvigne-Dunn-Ladnier school of jazz; marvelous," while the rest ...
Ethnic Heritage Ensemble: Hot 'N' Heavy: Live At The Ascension Loft
by Mark Corroto
For more than thirty years, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble has carried the American tradition of percussive jazz onward from a distinctly African-Chicago-American perspective. This live session, recorded in percussionist Kahil El'Zabar's loft, continues the long line of stellar recordings, but with a new and seemingly ever changing lineup. The EHE has included, among others, ...
Ernest Dawkins' New Horizons Ensemble: The Messenger - Live At the Original Velvet Lounge
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ernest Dawkins non può dimenticare nemmeno per un istante il suo ruolo di educatore e di memoria viva della musica afroamericana. Colonna portante dell'AACM, sassofonista di grande energia, ogni suo progetto fa comprendere il jazz e la cultura nera meglio di ogni terribile “lezioncina" alla Marsalis. Volete una prova? The Messenger. Registrato nello storico [ormai ex] ...
Keefe Jackson's Fast Citizens: Ready Everyday
by Nic Jones
Here's another instalment of vibrant, stimulating listening out of Chicago, and as with the work of Ken Vandermark's various groups, this programme blurs the line between composition and improvisation to the point of extinction. The resulting music is the product of a highly cohesive group. Cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm seems to have adopted the recording ...
Keefe Jackson: Ready Everyday
by C. Michael Bailey
Fayetteville, Arkansas native Keefe Jackson left his Ozarks home and bobbed to the surface in Chicago in 2001. Since that time, the multi-reedist has performed with many local musicians and has been the part of several jazz projects, including the Lucky 7s, the 774th Street Quartet, the Chicago Luzern Exchange, and his present Fast Citizens on ...
Junior Wells: Live at Theresa’s 1975
by AAJ Italy Staff
Lo scomparso Junior Wells bussa forte ancora una volta alla porta del blues con questo eccellente album dal vivo appena pubblicato da Delmark che ha ha sapientemente sfruttato vecchi nastri, in perfetto stato di conservazione, registrati a suo tempo per una trasmissione radiofonica. Siamo agli inizi del 1975 e in due date molto vicine (10 e ...
Kahil El’Zabar’s Ritual Trio: Big M: A Tribute to Malachi Favors
by AAJ Italy Staff
Kahil El’Zabar è un batterista di Chicago da moltissimi anni attivo nella città del vento, spesso sulle orme dell’Art Ensemble of Chicago e comunque sotto l’egida dell’AACM, l’associazione benemerita che tanto ha fatto negli ultimi decenni per promuovere la cultura afro-americana in quella città e conseguentemente in giro per il mondo. Con due membri dell’Art Ensemble ...
