Karl Jannuska: Liberating Vines

Read "Liberating Vines" reviewed by Paul Olson


Liberating Vines is both the name of expatriate Canadian (now Paris-based) drummer Karl Jannuska's new CD and of his Montréal group with altoist Brodie West, tenorist Kelly Jefferson, bassist Fraser Hollins, and pianist John Sadowy. The album's compositions and arrangements are all by Jannuska, and the detailed, rigorous post bop performed here makes Liberating Vines the ...

Joel Miller: Mandala

Read "Mandala" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone


Canadian saxophonist Joel Miller experienced an epiphany in 2002 that affected his musical direction. The title of this album dates back to Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, and has been used in a number of ways including, in this case, achieving wholeness and forming a harmonious relationship with one's self. Coincident to this important change, ...

Fr: Tap Bass

Read "Tap Bass" reviewed by Paul Olson


Jazz, by its very nature, is a sharing act. Any musical format based on group improvisation cannot help but be about sharing and, to some extent, democracy. Tap Bass , journeyman Montreal bassist Frédéric Alarie's sixth album as a leader (and first in five years), takes this spirit of sharing to some interesting lengths--to its benefit. ...

Fr: Tap Bass

Read "Tap Bass" reviewed by J. Robert Bragonier


My exposure to Effendi Records has been a felicitous one. Time after time, the label has exposed me to unfamiliar names, primarily those of Montréal-based musicians, only to reveal that these names belong to jazz musicians of the highest caliber. This CD is no exception. Frédéric Alarie is a Montréal-born bassist whose 15-year ...

Yves L: Quantique

Read "Quantique" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


The very first moments on the album capture the imagination as Yves Léveillé brings into play a conversation between limber notes and chunky chords. The latter reverberate densely against the spacey runs that precede them. Together they bring about a symbiotic relationship. This augurs well for the music that follows. But no groove ...

Fran: Elenar

Read "Elenar" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


First, François Théberge: the man who likes to bring a twist to his tale. Second, the musicians: players who can vision the craft of the leader and augment it with their approach. Third, the instruments: brass and some unusual wind instruments that give the music a distinctive air. Fourth, the title: Elenar, a play on L ...

Thom Gossage Other Voices: The Now Beyond

Read "The Now Beyond" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


The music on this record was written by Thom Gossage after the band’s tour in 2002 and reflects the experiences during that period as well as the individual and collective strengths of the group. Also included is music outside the pale of those times. Gossage keeps his music at a slow simmer when it ...
