Peter Evans Quartet: The Peter Evans Quartet
by John Sharpe
The exclamation mark which adorns the cover of Peter Evans Quartet's debut and, quintupled, gives the title for the opening piece, has never been more appropriate. Watch out. This is a record not to be messed with. The band explodes out of the starting gate and rarely let up over the course of the fifty-five minute ...
Peter Evans Quartet: The Peter Evans Quartet
by Nic Jones
It can be argued that a kind of pluralist sensibility lies at the heart of this music. Trumpeter Peter Evans is the embodiment of it in the way he combines the music here with the willingness to play the piccolo trumpet in a Baroque setting elsewhere. He is, thus, evidently a man of parts; and even ...
Peter Evans Quartet: The Peter Evans Quartet
by Mark Corroto
Between the fifteen-second song “How Long and the nearly nine-minute “Tag, you're left wondering if your CD player is in need of a cleaning. You ponder if the laser isn't unlike a diamond stylus of an LP player. Those of us who grew up with vinyl remember dropping the arm in the middle of a track, ...
Tyshawn Sorey: That/Not
by Mark F. Turner
The enigma that is Tyshawn Sorey: while most young drummers are walking in the footsteps of the elders and the influences of the mainstream, Sorey thrives on the outside, composing and performing free improvised music, leading experimental groups such as Oblique, or doing stints with progressives like Fieldwork (pianist Vijay Iyer, saxophonist Steve Lehman) and M-Base ...
Peter Evans Quartet: The Peter Evans Quartet
by Troy Collins
Occasionally, a debut album from a new artist arrives that so perfectly encapsulates the prevailing zeitgeist, it sounds like the visionary work of a seasoned veteran. The Peter Evans Quartet is such an album. While Peter Evans' solo trumpet album, More is More (Psi, 2006) is technically the Oberlin University grad's debut recording, this ...
Taylor Ho Bynum: The Middle Picture
by AAJ Italy Staff
Quanti ex-braxtoniani ci sono in circolazione? Decine? Centinaia? La conta ufficiale non è mai stata fatta, ma certamente il mondo è pieno di musicisti che sono transitati nelle fila delle innumerevoli compagini allestite dal maestro di Chicago. Altrettanto indubbiamente, se si dovesse assegnare la palma del fedelissimo per l’ultimo quinquennio, il premio andrebbe a Taylor Ho ...
Anthony Braxton: 9 Compositions
by Marc Medwin
It is the MO of this listener/writer, or, as Anthony Braxton puts it, this “friendly experiencer, to attempt to bring the reader into individual moments of a performance. The present set does not allow such an approach, or, rather, it renders the approach superfluous. Here, we are presented with almost ten hours of music in which, ...
Taylor Ho Bynum Sextet: The Middle Picture
by Troy Collins
Tying together conceptual threads from his previous releases, The Middle Picture is cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum's most fully realized album to date. Making good on the promise of prior efforts, Bynum incorporates the relaxed spontaneity of his duet with drummer Tomas Fujiwara, True Events (482 Music, 2007), and the studied intricacy of his formal composing skills ...
