Gebhard Ullmann/Basement Research: Hat And Shoes
by Mark Corroto
Saxophonist Gebhard Ullmann might be the German equivalent of Chicago's Ken Vandermark. Both players are influential composers and both maintain multiple creative ensembles in Europe and the United States. Like Vandermark, Ullmann's catalog is vast. Hat And Shoes is his 50th release as a leader or co- leader, and this band Basement Research have put out ...

Memories in Motian
by Zeno De Rossi
Poco dopo aver appreso la triste notizia della morte di Paul Motian, avvenuta il 22 novembre 2011, ho sentito la forte esigenza di ri-tuffarmi in profondità nella sua musica. In seguito, dopo aver letto un toccante scritto di Ellery Eskelin (pubblicato sul suo sito e riportato qui di seguito), pensai che sarebbe stato ...
Frank Lowe: Out Loud
by Mark Corroto
Musical archeology has become somewhat of a trend these days. It might be explained, in part by the rebirth of vinyl and the excavation of long out-of-print titles, but also there are scores of devoted collectors who've discovered unpublished recordings of significant artists. For the serially neglected avant-garde of jazz, some of these finds have been ...
Vinnie Sperrazza: Apocryphal
by Dave Wayne
An understated but highly-skilled and insanely versatile drummer in the vein of Kenny Wolleson, Jeff Hirshfield, and Paul Motian, Vinnie Sperrazza has been turning up on all sorts of interesting recordings over the past half-decade or so. Co-leader of 40Twenty with Jacob Sacks, Jacob Garchik, and Dave Ambrosio, Sperrazza is also in a trio with Sacks ...
Yoni Kretzmer 66 Boxes: Graceless
by Eyal Hareuveni
Israeli, New York-based tenor saxophonist Yoni Kretzmer returns on Graceless to an old passion of his--writing music that attempts to bridge the forward-thinking jazz from the school of sax heroes Tim Berne, Ellery Eskelin, and European jazz with elements from contemporary chamber music. Kretzmer's debut album as a leader, Yoni Kretzmer's New Dilemma (Earsay, 2009) focused ...
Elias Stemeseder / Devin Gray / Anna Webber: Jagged Spheres
by Mark Corroto
The collective trio of Elias Stemeseder, Devin Gray, and Anna Webber ask you to separate the composed elements from the improvised on their debut release Jagged Spheres. The three soon-to-breakout players opt for a musical salmagundi here, filling their plates with minimalist improvisation, noisy thrashings, and organically grown interactions in this chamber jazz presentation.
Memories in Motian
by Zeno De Rossi
Soon after hearing about Paul Motian's passing (November 22, 2011) I felt the urge to delve (again) into his music. Later on, inspired by a moving writing by Ellery Eskelin (published on his website and reproduced below, by his kind permission), I thought it would have been interesting to collect brief memories from ...
Eskelin - Alcorn - Formanek: Mirage
by AAJ Italy Staff
Non so come e quando sia nato il sodalizio fra questi tre improvvisatori; ignoro se quella documentata da Mirage sia stata la loro unica esibizione dal vivo (nel novembre 2011 alla Towson University di Baltimora, dove Eskelin ha studiato e dove spesso ritorna con i suoi vari progetti) o se, prima o dopo, ci siano state ...
