Ellery Eskelin: Ten

Read "Ten" reviewed by Shawn McGrew


This article was originally published under our Call and Response column. It's curious that both Andrea Parkins and Jim Black's names are absent from the front cover of Ten. This marks the tenth year the band has been together and both long-time associates do participate on this project. Despite functioning as the leader, Eskelin's ...

Ellery Eskelin: Ten

Read "Ten" reviewed by AAJ Staff


It would have been way too predictable if tenor saxophonist Ellery Eskelin had celebrated the tenth anniversary of his trio with accordionist/pianist/sampler player Andrea Parkins and drummer Jim Black by putting together another record like the seven they have already made.

Ellery Eskelin: Ten

Read "Ten" reviewed by Sean Patrick Fitzell

Ellery Eskelin: Forms

Read "Forms" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk


In sixteen years of recording, Ellery Eskelin has focused much of his work on the trio. From Joey Baron’s unusual sax-bone-drum combo Baron Down (with Steve Swell on trombone) to his own bands (notably his trio with Andrea Parkins and Jim Black, which is marking its tenth anniversary this year), the three-piece has served Eskelin well. ...

Read "Ellery Eskelin" reviewed by AAJ Staff


By Sean Patrick Fitzell The framed promotional posters and paintings on the walls of saxophonist Ellery Eskelin's apartment tell a story. Mementos from European tours with his trio and collaborations with influential drummers Han Bennink and Daniel Humair fit comfortably alongside family photos. While illustrating the diversity of his projects and suggesting their ...
