Scott Fields Ensemble: Mamet
by Derek Taylor
In search for vessels of influence beyond expected musical sources Wisconsin based guitarist Scott Fields has uncovered an intriguing fount of inspiration for his debut Delmark release in the dramatic work of modern American playwrights. Stripped down to power trio instrumentation, but often employing a diffuse long-winded approach Fields explores many of the same sound relationships ...
Roy Campbell's Pyramid Trio: Ethnic Stew and Brew
by Derek Taylor
Saxophone trios rounded out by bass and drums are a regularity in creative improvised music. Strangely, trios led by trumpet are a comparatively rare occurrence. The reasons behind the disparity are debatable but may have something to do with the perceived difficulties in timbre and range sometimes attached to brass instruments. Where the adroit brass player ...
Roy Campbell's Pyramid Trio: Ethnic Stew And Brew
by Mark Corroto
Trumpeter Roy Campbell’s music reminds one of the art of saxophonist Albert Ayler. Like Ayler, Campbell’s approach is to swallow all musical concepts, converting ‘world-music’ into one-music. His playing can emanate pure improvisation, like in the quartet Other Dimensions In Music, and the trumpeter can also maintain that improvisational touch in the large band of William ...
George Lewis: Hello Central
by Derek Taylor
New Orleans jazz doesn’t get much more authentic than George Lewis and his New Orleans Stompers’ faithfully rendered brand of traditional merry-making. Lewis and his colleagues recorded dozens of albums in dozens of settings, but their sound always remained at the root incorruptible and in its own sweet way sentimentally ecstatic. This reissue is no different ...
Franz Jackson & the Salty Dogs: Yellow Fire
by Derek Taylor
Traditional jazz has taken it on the chin of late in Chicago. Once a thriving epicenter for New Orleans and Dixieland revival bands the Windy City is now largely know for its acclaimed free jazz and avant rock scenes. In the larger scheme of the things the shift was slow in coming and unlike the demise ...
Jim Beebe's Chicago Jazz: Saturday Night Function
by Derek Taylor
For as long as there has been jazz there’s been the myth of its demise. At various points in the long and winding history of its evolution detractors and even its devotees have waxed authoritatively about the so-called “Death of Jazz.” Prognosticated causes have run a wide gamut ranging from the birth of new styles to ...
New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra: Grace and Beauty
by Derek Taylor
Ragtime’s place as a precursor to Jazz is well documented in the history books. The style’s rhythmic syncopations still retain a tenacious influence on creative improvised music. But listening to the music’s often stiff and structured patterns reveals the distance Jazz has come in terms of thematic variation since its beginnings. The gap between the music’s ...
Anthony Braxton: For Alto
by Robert Spencer
At long last. For Alto always seems to arrive late: it wasn't released until a few years after it was recorded, and it only now appears on CD. Braxton has, of course, other solo recordings on CD, but this one is different: it was first. Not just first for him, but first for anyone. Before this, ...
