Ariel Shibolet / Nori Jacoby: Scenes From An Ideal Marriage
by Nic Jones
Having existed for decades, free improvisation can be argued to have settled into a kind of routine regardless of the music's underlying abstraction. The soprano sax has become readily associated with the music thanks to the efforts of such pioneers as Steve Lacy, Evan Parker and Trevor Watts. Ariel Shibolet seems only too aware of this, ...
Agustí Fernández / Barry Guy / Ramón López: Morning Glory
by Mark Corroto
In what could easily mistaken for a release on the ECM label, Morning Glory inhabits that crisp minimalist style so familiar to producer Manfred Eicher. Surprisingly enough, this studio recording, with bonus Live In New York disc, is delivered by three of today's most zealous improvisers and outcats. Formed in 2005, the trio's previous ...
DJ Sniff: EP
by John Eyles
EP is a fascinating disc on several levels. Its title is not short for “extended play"---how many people today remember those?--but for Psi proprietor Evan Parker.

Peter Evans Quintet: Ghosts
by Mark Corroto
The Peter Evans Quintet's Ghosts acts as a sort of back-to-the-future recording--that is, if the present were 2021. This inaugural release on the trumpeter's own label has a standard trumpet/piano/bass/drums setup, plus the incorporation of real-time, live electronic processing to make up the full quintet. Listening to any recording by Evans often prompts the ...
Chefa Alonso and Albert Kaul: The Reliable Uncertainty
by John Eyles
Chefa Alonso plays soprano saxophone as well as percussion; Albert Kaul plays piano and clavichord. Despite recording extensively in other contexts, their discography as a duo is in its infancy and in a state of flux; a more appropriate title here might be “The curious case of Chefa and Albert." A four-track version of The Reliable ...

Mostly Other People Do the Killing: The Coimbra Concert
by Mark Corroto
The stand-up comic begins, “I went to a day of rage riot the other day, and a Moppa Elliott concert broke out." He might continue with, “Take my jazz canon, please." That is just what the bassist's quartet, Mostly Other People Do The Killing, does--seize the jazz standard and demolish it. The Coimbra Concert is the ...
