Earl Hines: Live at The Party
by AAJ Staff
Earl Hines is considered in some quarters, including the most relevant quarter of pianists themselves, to be “the father of modern jazz piano." Hines had a transitional style that took its main basis from swing but anticipated some important modern innovations. As such, being ahead of his time in some ways while firmly planted in the ...
Jodie Christian Trio: Reminiscing
by Derek Taylor
P>Jazz, like most kinds of music, is a migratory art form. Regional enclaves abound and players are continually traveling and relocating between them trading ideas and innovations. It’s this continuous cross-pollination that is one of the primary ways the music continues to develop and sustain itself. Still, there are certain musicians who set up shop in ...
Malachi Thompson: Talking Horns
by Derek Taylor
Malachi Thompson has long been a fixture on the Delmark label roster. This disc marks his tenth try with the label. The majority of his previous recordings have been hit and miss affairs and past problems are the probable product of single label stagnation alongside a sometimes-scattershot track record with material and supporting musicians. Arguably his ...
Kahil El'Zabar & Billy Bang: Spirits Entering
by Derek Taylor
Among the current fertile crop of Chicago improvisors only Ken Vandermark outdistances the recording fecundity of percussionist Kahil El’Zabar. The difference is that for various reasons, most notably the Vandermark’s MacArthur Foundation windfall, more of the reed player’s projects seem to make it into circulation. Still, El’Zabar’s discography continues to swell at a steady rate, thanks ...
Bobby Broom: Modern Man
by AAJ Staff
Guitar, Saxophone, and Hammond B-3 comprise the classic groove lineup. Jimmy Smith’s early-sixties ensembles with Kenny Burrell and Stanley Turrentine and George Benson’s quartet of the mid-sixties epitomize the format; guitarist Bobby Broom revives it on his latest release. Joined by ex-Benson quartet members Ronnie Cuber and Dr. Lonnie Smith, Broom offers a straight-ahead take on ...
Malachi Thompson: Talking Horns
by Mark Corroto
The good news is trumpeter Malachi Thompson mixes multiple styles and approaches on his latest release. But that is also the bad news. Thompson packs a wealth of music into his discs. As with his earlier Delmark projects; New Standards (1993), Buddy Bolden’s Rag (1995), and Free-bop Now! (1999), Thompson’s eclecticism informs us of jazz history, ...
Malachi Thompson: Talking Horns
by AAJ Staff
The heresy lives! The jazz establishment (Dr. They) would have one believe that jazz music--a cadaver best appreciated with scalpel in hand while donning a coroner’s smock--died with the innovations of the ‘60s. On his latest Delmark release, trumpeter Malachi Thompson has as a not-so-ulterior motive illustrating that jazz, in its free manifestation, continues as a ...

Bobby Broom: Modern Man
by Derek Taylor
Call it what you want, Soul Jazz, Organ Jazz, whatever, but the brand of music birthed by the B-3 explosion of the 1960s is alive and well in the third millennium. Blue Note’s new banner reads “One Label Under a Groove” and groups like Medeski, Martin and Wood, and Soulive continue the extract marketable material from ...
