Josh Ison: Perceive React
by Budd Kopman
The road to saxophonist Josh Ison's debut recording Perceive React is a very interesting one of connecting up with and finding players whom one admires, asking them to take part in a recording session, their acceptance, and finally their meeting for the first time and clicking impressively.Ison had been concentrating on finding the core ...
Stephan Crump: Stephan Crump's Rhombal
by Mark Corroto
Often times, a jazz performance without a chordal instrument, a guitar or piano, is considered to be flying without a net. Exciting, but often without aim. It routinely relies on just one powerful figure to command the proceedings. That is, unless the ensemble is configured under egalitarian principles. Equal contribution and respect for the differing voices ...
Stephan Crump: Stephan Crump's Rhombal
by Glenn Astarita
During the advent of bop and the hot n' heavy mainstream swing years, a session with a stellar lineup of critically acclaimed musicians would often be referred to as the [insert magazine name] Critics' Poll All-Stars or something like John Doe and his Jazz All-Stars. However, venerable bassist Stephan Crump underscores the premise of this album ...
Ellery Eskelin Trio: Willisau - Live
by Giuseppe Segala
Ci sono musicisti preziosi nel panorama del jazz contemporaneo. Il loro valore sta non solo in quello che fanno, ma nel rapporto di passione che mantengono con la vicenda della musica neroamericana e improvvisata, nella riflessione e fruizione profonda che li connette alla storia di questa forma artistica.

Gina Schwarz Unit featuring Jim Black: Woodclock
by Eyal Hareuveni
Austrian, Vienna-based double bassist Gina Schwarz found a true, like-minded musical partner that helped her realize her irreverent vision for today's jazz. American drummer Jim Black joined Schwarz's quintet for her fifth album, solidifying her reputation as a “live-cell therapy to jazz," an opinionated musician who likes to play with opposites--wise and free, gentle and wild, ...
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 ...
Ellery Eskelin Trio Willisau: Live
by Mark Corroto
I considered writing just this sentence as my review of Ellery Eskelin's trio recording Live, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Taken from poet John Keats' 1818 poem “Endymion," the line just about says it all. Ok, to appease those that need a bit more information, Keats continues, “its loveliness increases / ...
