Buddy Rich: The Monster
by Nic Jones
The ambiguity in the title of this one really nails it. Buddy Rich was never a man to let subtlety or restraint get in the way of his ego, and in so doing he reduced the art of jazz drumming to a matter of overbearing machismo and overkill. In short, any beat that Rich played usually ...
Chico Hamilton Quintet & Fred Katz: Classical Katz
by Nic Jones
The lasting impression of this music by drummer Chico Hamilton and composer/cellist Fred Katz is that of a quiet revolution overtaken by events captured in time to such an extent that it encapsulates that moment or at least a particular strand of musical development that has since petered out to nothing in the half century that's ...
Buddy Rich: Man From Planet Jazz
by David Rickert
Nobody's really clamoring for big band recordings from 1980 these days, and it's probably the case that no one was back then, either.

On this collection of small group sides from the mid-1950s he proves why he was so valued by his peers on both sides of the Atlantic. Although the music is deeply within the West Coast tradition, the fact that he would ...

This set gathers together some of his earliest records both as a sideman and a leader and, as such, plots the beginnings of a phenomenon. One of ...
Sun Ra: Toward The Stars
by Nic Jones
The bandleader, keyboard player and composer christened Herman Blount made his reputation under the name of Sun Ra, and this compilation of pieces from the early years of his career could almost be an exercise in confounding expectations at the same time as it amounts to a strong case for Ra and his recorded legacy. In ...
The Ahmad Jamal Trio: Pavanne For Ahmad
by Ian Patterson
Always the musician's musician, Ahmad Jamal's unique approach to the piano has been a continuing source of inspiration for six decades, influencing such giants as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Keith Jarrett, and a younger generation of keyboardist like Scott Kinsey. Pavanne for Ahmad is a collection of eighteen of Jamal's earliest recordings for the ...
