Kurt Rosenwinkel Group: The Remedy: Live at the Village Vanguard
by John Kelman
It's been over a decade since Kurt Rosenwinkel's last live album. East Coast Love Affair (Fresh Sound New Talent, 1997) was the guitarist's first as a leader, and much has happened since then. Over the course of five additional albums and countless appearances as a guest on albums by artists including saxophonist Mark Turner and drummers ...

by John Kelman
Despite the belief, in some corners, that jazz as an American form has to contain certain traditional and specifically cultural components in order to make it jazz, globalization has resulted in artists examining sources farther abroad to place in an improvisational context. The four year-old [em] brings an impressionistic European classicism to [em] 3, but in ...
Lionel Loueke: Karibu
by Mark F. Turner
With an emotive sound that is rooted in his homeland of Benin, Africa, guitarist Lionel Loueke is having a positive impact on the current jazz environment. His Blue Note debut, Karibu (from a Swahili word meaning “welcome"), is an appropriate invitation to his unique appeal which includes virtuoso guitar playing and vocals in his native language. ...
Kurt Rosenwinkel Group: The Remedy: Live at the Village Vanguard
by Mark F. Turner
It's been a couple of years since Kurt Rosenwinkel's previous release, Deep Song (Verve Music Group, 2005). But as one of modern jazz's most dynamic guitarists, having earned respect and applause from critics and fans, he's back with the stellar double CD, The Remedy: Live at the Village Vanguard. Recorded live and unedited ...
Eliane Elias: Something For You: Eliane Elias Sings and Plays Bill Evans
by Dan McClenaghan
Everybody digs Bill Evans, the pianist who changed the face of the piano trio in jazz with his Sunday at the Village Vanguard (Riverside Records, 1961) and Waltz for Debby (Riverside Records, 1961). These were the albums that brought a then unheard of level of interaction between the pianist and his trio mates, bassist Scott LaFaro ...
Adam Rudolph's Moving Pictures: Dream Garden
by J Hunter
During his formative years in Chicago and Detroit, percussionist Adam Rudolph sat at the feet of a number of fantastic musicians, most notably Don Cherry and Fred Anderson. Combine that mentoring with Rudolph's years-long study of African and Indian rhythm traditions, and you get Cyclic Verticalism--a compositional matrix that allows the prolific percussionist's players to create ...
Charles Lloyd: Rabo De Nube
by Budd Kopman
Jazz is a magical thing that exists, paradoxically, both in the unique existential moment of creation, never to happen again and on record, where crystallizing the ephemeral is attempted. Hearing jazz live can be a peak experience, but barring that, listening to a good recording of a great concert can come close, albeit vicariously. Rabo de ...
Andrew Sterman: The Path To Peace
by Elliott Simon
Set against a sparse percussive backdrop, long bluesy notes come from saxophonist Andrew Sterman's tenor and harmonize with Todd Reynolds' emotive violin for the “Opening" of The Path To Peace. For this concept album that presents original music motivated by Mahatma Gandhi's spiritual path, Sterman has taken on the difficult task of musically representing not only ...
Charles Lloyd Quartet: Rabo De Nube
by John Kelman
Woodwind multi-instrumentalist Charles Lloyd has traversed considerable musical territory with nary a misstep across a dozen albums, since joining the ECM fold in 1989. Still, as undeniably fine as albums including Sangam (2006), Jumping the Creek (2005) and Which Way is East (2004) are, what Lloyd's been missing is a consistent line-up to rival his mid-1990s ...
March 2008
by AAJ Staff
Leroy Jenkins Memorial at Brooklyn Public Library Although he was seen primarily in the jazz world and his Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians connection during his lifetime, Leroy Jenkins showed on his last few recordings an interest in composing for chamber ensembles. That work filled the first half of a memorial concert Feb. 9th ...
