Fred Anderson, Hamid Drake, "Kidd" Jordan, and William Parker: 2 Days in April
by Micah Holmquist
2 Days in April is full of so many moments of joy and beauty that it is hard to know where to begin. As the title partially suggests, the quartet recorded this two disc set on April 1 and 2 of last year in concerts in Amherst and Cambridge, Massachusetts respectively. The two nights have slightly ...
Trio Hurricane: Live At Fire In the Valley
by Derek Taylor
In leafing through the history pages of jazz it’s far more common to find groups named after a clearly defined leader than operating under a collective moniker.

Studio dates for the saxophonist are a rarity and it’s for this reason that his pairing with Eremite makes so ...
Raphe Malik: ConSequences
by John Sharpe
From the first notes from William Parker’s gut churning bass you know you are in for a treat. Raphe Malik assembled an all star band for the 1997 Fire In The Valley Festival and we are fortunate it was well-recorded for posterity. The whole disc constitutes a superb manifesto of state of the art jazz at ...
