Ron Horton: Everything In A Dream
by Troy Collins
Like many of his peers, trumpeter/composer Ron Horton is conservatory-trained, with an equitable view of both the classic jazz tradition and the structural innovations of post-war free jazz. Epitomizing the new face of the creative mainstream, Horton is equal parts swinging hard bop stylist, modern classicist and exploratory avant gardist. All these facets appear on Everything ...
Walter Smith III: Casually Introducing Walter Smith III
by Mark F. Turner
Walter Smith III, a striking saxophonist, has entered the arena with this promising debut. A rising horn player, he has performed and shared the stage with a variety of musicians, including jazz veterans (Roy Haynes, Ralph Peterson), pop stars (Destiny's Child, Lauren Hill), and contemporary jazz luminaries (Terence Blanchard, Jason Moran). Like recordings ...
Samo Salamon: Two Hours
by Chris May
Slovenian guitarist Samo Salamon has generated a good degree of heat over the last couple of years, first with his self-published '03 album Ornethology, then with last year's Ela's Dream. Both discs suggested the emergence of a young guitarist well on the way to finding a distinctive personal voice. The early promise is fulfilled on Two ...
Sam Bardfeld: Periodic Trespasses (The Saul Cycle)
by John Kelman
Ask most artists and they'll tell you their albums tell a story. The idea of musical narrative is nothing new--listen to any ECM disc, where emotional arcs often transcend any collection of discrete pieces. Rare, however, are the recordings where there's an all-encompassing theme. Rarer still are those that tell a specific and self-contained story. Percussionist ...
Sam Bardfeld: Periodic Trespasses (The Saul Cycle)
by A. Henkin
With his second release as a leader (and first for Fresh Sound), violinist Sam Bardfeld presents an album full of modern Jewish intellectual reflection, as practiced by such diverse artists as Saul Bellow and Woody Allen, but couched in terms owing more of a debt to Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage. But given those ...
Andrew Rathbun & George Colligan: Renderings: The Art of the Duo
by Dan McClenaghan
Renderings is a no-net duo set featuring Andrew Rathbun on soprano saxophone (tenor on one number) and George Colligan on piano. The title of the opening tune--Maurice Ravel's “Menuet Sur Le Nom Du Hayden," the French impressionist's homage to the great classical composer--clues you in as to what to expect. The sound is one of understated ...
Sam Bardfeld: Periodic Trespasses
by Dan McClenaghan
The cover certainly does grab at your attention. It's hard to say what that thing is. A War of the Worlds creature gone goofy? It does give you a clue that New York-based violinist Sam Bardfeld doesn't take himself too seriously. Another clue in this direction is the spoken word intervals--"The Saul Cycle"-- inserted throughout and ...

Matt Renzi: The Cave
by Michael P. Gladstone
I've always approached a piano-less trio like this sax/bass/drums combo with at least some trepidation. In the world of free jazz, it is, more or less, a rather standard pairing of instruments that allows for greater freedom without the chorded support from piano (or guitar). Within mainstream jazz, the work of Sonny Rollins (notably during his ...
