Yuganaut: Sharks
by Raul d'Gama Rose
It is somewhat easy to be fooled, by the playfulness of Yuganaut's musicians, into thinking that Sharks is a flippant album. So, as rapidly as the thought occurs let it perish. The music on this album is deep as the ocean of sound from where it comes, and the musicians do a fine job of exploring ...
William Hooker Trio: Yearn for Certainty
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Drummer William Hooker can tell stories in many more ways than one. On Yearn for Certainty, he works his majestic tenor vocal chords as he recites a poem that accompanies the initial track, “Ingratiated Beam--Leroy." One track later, on the superbly crafted, rhapsodic melody of “Century's Soles," Hooker manipulates his ensemble of drums to tell a ...

The OtherTet: The OtherTet
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The seemingly innocuously titled The OtherTet is far from an exercise in making-music in a modern idiom. A generation ago, speculation would be rife about minimalism and atonalism, terms that are laughable in today's context of existential angst. Therefore, when contemporary musical compositions delve into the macabre and the irony of contemporary existence a new idiom ...
Warren Smith: Old News Borrowed Blues
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nonostante una carriera ormai cinquantennale, gli album pubblicati a nome di Warren Smith si possono contare sulle dita di una mano. Avevamo dunque riposto grandi aspettative su questo Old News Borrowed Blues. Purtroppo la qualità della registrazione è tale da sminuire il piacere dell'ascolto. Un vero peccato perché l'album si preannuncia, sin dal titolo, interessante. Nel ...
Tom Abbs & Frequency Response: Lost & Found
by Jerry D'Souza
Tom Abbs is a multi-instrumentalist who, besides violin and didgeridoo, plays bass, tuba and cello on this CD. He has enlivened the free jazz scene in New York, not only through his collaborations with Cooper-Moore and Steve Swell among others, but with his music as well. He thinks with a vivid imagination and as such injects ...
Tom Abbs and Frequency Response: Lost + Found
by Lyn Horton
Rarely does a recording's clarity of purpose come through in one listening, but bassist Tom Abbs and Frequency Response's Lost + Found fits the bill. The significance of this record originates in the brevity of each of bassist Abbs' eighteen pieces--lasting, on average, only slightly over three minutes, with the longest being six and the shortest ...
