Eclectic and Electric
by Maurice Hogue
This episode of One Man's Jazz is kind of eclectic, what with music from the likes of Petter Eldh's European super group Koma Saxo taking jazz in a different direction, Reverse Winchester (rapper/poet Mike Ladd hooked up with the open tuning of guitarist Mathieu Sourisseau), a historical bit on the strange tale of Canadian drummer Claude ...
Harris Eisenstadt, Whit Dickey, Gard Nilssen and More
by Maurice Hogue
A very eclectic show this time out: drummers are front and center: Joao Lencastre, Whit Dickey, Gard Nilssen, Harris Eisenstadt, Kahil El'Zabar from the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble and Germany's Max Andrzejewski. The latter and his band Hütte are tackling the music of rocker/composer Robert Wyatt. If that isn't off the wall, how about a combination of ...

The concept of a sax-bass-drums trio is not a new one, but Washington, DC's Anansi Trio puts a new twist on the idea through Mark Merella playing what he calls a hybrid drum kit, incorporating conga drums, cymbals and parts of a trap drum set. This adds extra measures of bounce and groove to his playing ...

Melodic Art-Tet: Melodic Art-Tet
by Alberto Bazzurro
Su doppio LP (tirato in 400 esemplari) o singolo CD (di quasi ottanta minuti), la benemerita etichetta lituana NoBusiness Records porta alla luce un altro reperto d'epoca, in questo caso, oltre tutto, riguardante una formazione altrimenti inedita su disco. Si tratta del Melodic Art-Tet, prodotto abbastanza tipico del cosiddetto loft jazz, colto in una registrazione radiofonica ...
