Ellery Eskelin with Andrea Parkins and Jim Black: One Great Night...Live
by Glenn Astarita
As of 2009, Ellery Eskelin and his band mates have been playing together for fifteen years with no let up in sight--good news for advocates of cutting-edge, progressive jazz and improvisation. Recorded live at Towson University in saxophonist Eskelin's home town of Baltimore, Maryland, the trio's multitasking ways come to fruition during this near flawlessly recorded ...
Jim Black: Alas, Not Exactly a "Houseplant"
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
A day off is something drummer Jim Black rarely takes. At Skirl Party V in April, he played two sets with different bands, recorded with one the next day and left the day after that to tour Europe with another group. Next, it was Australia for several shows during the Melbourne Jazz Festival with a new ...
Ellery Eskelin/ Sylvie Courvoisier: Every So Often
by Mark Corroto
The improvisational intersection of American and European music exemplified in the recording Every So Often finds common ground without much trouble when the improvisers are Ellery Eskelin and Sylvie Courvoisier. This hour of sonically stellar studio recordings never lacks for innovation nor repeats ideas. Saxophonist Eskelin, a jazz maverick is probably best known for ...
Yoni Kretzmer's New Dilemma: Yoni Kretzmer's New Dilemma
by Eyal Hareuveni
Unlike many young jazz players in Israel, tenor saxophonist Kretzmer chose to broaden his musical education in France, instead of the United States.

Ellery Eskelin: Quiet Music
by Kurt Gottschalk
Saxophonist Ellery Eskelin's trio with Andrea Parkins and Jim Black is so tight, so dense, that it's hard to imagine another musician in the mix. But on this double-disc set he adds vocalist Jessica Constable and on three tracks augments the group up to a quintet with Phillippe Gelda on keyboards and vocals. The results are ...
Ellery Eskelin: Quiet Music
by Glenn Astarita
Years on the road and numerous recording for Swiss-based Hatology Records have generated a distinguished musical persona for tenor sax titan Ellery Eskelin and his band. Here, drummer Jim Black and accordionist/sampler Andrea Parkins assist with moving the torch forward. But the addition of vocalist Jessica Constable and French vocalist/keyboardist Philippe Gelda rein in a new ...
Ellery Eskelin: Quiet Music
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ogni lavoro che coinvolge il sassofono tenore di Ellery Eskelin è un'esperienza di ascolto totale all'interno di un gioco di codici che hanno come riferimento tanto il jazz quanto ogni altro genere. Da tempo il sassofonista americano rifiuta le definizioni dei critici sul suo approccio allo strumento, certo utili per dare un'idea (Coltrane, Coleman Hawkins...) di ...
