Bobby Bradford/Hafez Modirzadeh/Mark Dresser/Alex Cline: Live At The Open Gate
by Mark Corroto
Live At The Open Gate by the quartet of Bobby Bradford, Hafez Modirzadeh, Mark Dresser, and Alex Cline shouts “West Coast" from the drop of the stylus on this, a limited edition (of 500) LP. It's not because the session is from Center for the Arts in Los Angeles 2013, it's because the inspiration here emanates ...
TD Ottawa Jazz Festival 2016
by John Kelman
TD Ottawa Jazz Festival Ottawa, Canada June 22 -July 3, 2016 It's hard to believe, with seasons that move quickly from spring into summer, that it was time, once again, for the TD Ottawa Jazz Festival. Now in its 36th year, the festival has grown from a weekend event into a full-blown, ...
Twenty One 4tet: Live At Zaal 100
by John Sharpe
The moniker Twenty One 4tet represents a summit of cosmopolitan international improvisers gathering in Amsterdam . On the face of it there's not a lot of connection between peripatetic American saxophonist John Dikeman's Ayler-inspired tirades and Portuguese trumpeter Luis Vicente's thoughtful chamber explorations, but the outcome suggests much more of a meeting of minds than might ...
Dawda Jobareth/Stefan Pasborg: Duo
by Karl Ackermann
Dawda Jobareth and Stefan Pasborg's Duo is unique on more than one level. A Gambian native, Jobareth is an authentic West African griot. The term--broadly associated with that region's storytellers/oral historians/minstrel artistic class--applies only to authentic griots, though the expression is widely borrowed or misused. Also unusual is the diversity of music that Jobareth has embarked ...
The Paul Butterfield Blues Band: Got A Mind to Give Up Living: Live 1966
by Doug Collette
Real Gone Music's release of The Paul Butterfield Blues Band's Live 1966 is a godsend for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that it reminds, if that's indeed necessary, of what a vital influence on contemporary blues was (and is) this sextet. Forget for a moment the profundity of an ...
Songlines: An Independent Voice for New Music
by Mark Werlin

Inspired by the contemporary jazz music scene in Vancouver, label founder Tony Reif began recording Canadian, American, Dutch, German and French composer-performers.

Albert We Hardly Knew Ye
by Mark Corroto
The Chinese mystic philosopher Lao Tzu wrote, “the flame that burns twice as bright, burns half as long." Although he never heard the music of Albert Ayler, we're sure that he would agree the saxophonist's fire music was luminescent. Ayler's career was indeed quite brief, recording only for a period of eight years until his untimely ...
Die Hochstapler: Plays The Music Of Alvin P. Buckley
by Mark Corroto
Back in high school, my physics instructor explained to us how there is a mathematical equation for everything in the universe. We started with the parabola equation of a baseball's flight after being struck by a bat. We were amazed to learn that one (not I) could also calculate the various waves on a lake. A ...
Matt Wilson’s Big Happy Family: Beginning of A Memory
by Mark Corroto
It's easy to imagine the phone calls, drummer Matt Wilson made, using his best imitation of Elwood from the 1980 Blues Brothers movie, “We're putting the band back together, we're on a mission from God." And like that, current members and alumni of the drummer's bands: the Matt Wilson Quartet, Arts & Crafts, and Christmas Tree-O ...
Le molte avventure musicali improvvisate di Giovanni Maier
by Neri Pollastri
L'etichetta Palomar, della quale ci occupammo in dettaglio alcuni anni fa, è quella in cui il contrabbassista Giovanni Maier documenta con continuità i propri progetti, con particolare riguardo a quelli più “intimi," messi a punto assieme a musicisti che gli sono cari artisticamente e umanamente. Non a caso molte delle uscite Palomar sono duetti, spesso registrati ...
