Jason Rigby: The Sage
by Eyal Hareuveni
The sophomore release of New York-based saxophonist/composer Jason Rigby features him as a unique new voice that deserves wider attention. His deep, full-bodied tenor sound and his inside-outside jazz vocabulary reference sax greats such as John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter, while his elastic sense of time sounds closer to the fluid playfulness of Ornette Coleman. His ...

Drawing on some of his earliest musical inspirations, this varied session integrates alt-country, folk, and rock influences into a jazz context.

Romain Collin: The Rise and Fall of Pipokuhn
by Phil DiPietro
Romain Collin ushers in the promise of 2009 with an astonishingly mature and ambitious debut that secures him a placeholder in the continuing evolution of the grand tradition of the piano trio. While staking claim to the lineage of Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and Brad Mehldau, Collin's work favorably contrasts to the modern-day Swedish school exemplified ...
Mark Zubek: twentytwodollarfishlunches

Jason Rigby: The Sage
by J Hunter
When purists maintain their Cheney-like insistence that nobody could have foreseen Miles Davis recording something as incendiary as Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1969), they reveal a blind spot the size of the Chrysler Building. The pre-Brew signs were as plain as the glasses on Stanley Crouch's face: First there was Filles de Kilimanjaro (Columbia, 1968), which codified ...
Mike Baggetta: Small Spaces
by Clifford Allen
Guitarist Mike Baggetta might not be a familiar name to those outside the coasts, though he's recorded and worked on both. He received his formal education in music from Rutgers and name checks players like Ted Dunbar and Jim Hall, yet his first release was decidedly un-bebop--a half-hour solo recording of prepared and abused acoustic guitar ...

There are nights where the bandstand can be a magical place, with the musicians expressing an added dimension to their normal artistry.

As Israelis, the band-members draw on a heritage of confluence and intersection. Mirroring their ...
