Jason Rigby: The Sage
by Jerry D'Souza
Jason Rigby is a bold and adventurous composer and saxophonist. He blends styles artfully and gives them a tangent and direction that are out of the ordinary and. in doing so, he brings in a perspective that is as exciting as it is satisfying. Rigby made his debut as a leader with Translucent Space ...
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
by Eyal Hareuveni
The second release of Toronto-based bassist, songwriter, and producer Mark Zubek epitomizes his many cross-genres skills in the fields of jazz, hip-hop, R&B, and pop. He is joined by a stellar cast of musicians--Israeli trumpet player Avishai Cohen, tenor saxophone players Mark Turner and Seamus Blake (both of whom played on Zubek's debut, Horse with a ...
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 ...
Bill McHenry Quintet: Sonic Pressure
by Farrell Lowe
In the world of music, some live performances stand out with distinction. There are nights where the bandstand can be a magical place, with the musicians expressing an added dimension to their normal artistry. Those nights are special and are, with luck, captured in a recording like this one. Sonic Pressure was recorded live at the ...
The Alon Farber Hagiga Sextet: Optimistic View
by Jay Deshpande
No other way to put it: the Alon Farber Hagiga Sextet is a fantastic find. First formed in 2001 by saxophonist Alon Farber and drummer Dani Benedikt, Hagiga has developed a tasteful interplay while melding disparate musical traditions from around the world. As Israelis, the band-members draw on a heritage of confluence and intersection. Mirroring their ...
Braff Blaser Duo: YaY
by AAJ Italy Staff
Che strana combinazione! Un pianista brasiliano ed un trombonista svizzero. La terra del sole e del samba, dell'esuberanza e delle trasgressioni del carnevale di Rio, delle favelas e delle garote de Ipanema incontra la rigorosità fatta sistema, la neutralità non solo militare ma anche come filosofia di vita. Ma, si sa, a volte sono proprio le ...
Roger Mas 5et: Mason
by Farrell Lowe
Pianist Roger Mas presents a conundrum with Mason. Here is an album expertly executed, well-recorded, and filled with technical detail, but possessing a stark patina that takes time to rub away in order to reveal the core of the music. While there are glimmering moments of improvisational fire, the overall feel is rather mysterious. Perhaps Mas' ...
