Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee: Borrowed Time
by Paul Olson
Bay Area bassist Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee writes in the liner notes to Borrowed Time, his second CD, that its music “grew out of a creative need to manifest the feelings [he] experienced becoming a father ; to convey “the joy, confusion, intimacy and sleeplessness of this defining period of life. I can't hear any of that on ...
John O'Gallagher's Axiom: Line Of Sight
by AAJ Staff
John O'Gallagher's latest album sounds focused on a narrow band of sound, in that the compositions are all built around an interval of a fourth, with a series of syncopations appearing in each line. These similar-sounding building blocks are then taken apart, reassembled, and subjected to an astonishing variety of treatments, so that through differences in ...
Gian Tornatore: Sink Or Swim
by Stephen Latessa
Sink Or Swim is the debut album by saxophonist Gian Tornatore.

Ben Waltzer Trio: One Hundred Dreams Ago
by Stephen Latessa

Impressively, with all of these ...
Alexander Schimmeroth Trio: Arrival
by John Kelman
We live in a time where immediate results are paramount. If a movie doesn't go blockbuster in its first weekend, it's considered a failure. There was actually a time when a film could gain its audience gradually--sometimes over a period of months--and become a sleeper hit. Similarly with television: if a show doesn't garner strong ratings ...

John O'Gallagher's Axiom: Line of Sight
by John Kelman
Like his previous release, Abacus, alto saxophonist John O'Gallagher pursues a cerebral blend of free exploration over a foundation of structured composition on Line of Sight, his second recording with his group Axiom. O'Gallagher and his quartet -- tenor saxophonist Tony Malaby, bassist John Hebert and drummer Jeff Williams -- navigate their way through charts that ...
David Weiss: The Mirror
by Michael Holman
Stills from the film Stalker, by Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky, decorate the cover of the second album from trumpeter David Weiss; and the film also lends its title to the first and most compelling track on the disc. Perhaps wisely, Weiss refrains from the otherwise obvious choice of using it for the album title as well--probably ...
Rathburn-Howard Quintet: Days Before and After
by Florence Wetzel
Days Before and After is a successful collaboration between reed player Andrew Rathbun and drummer Owen Howard. What makes the quintet unique is that in addition to Rathbun and Howard, also appearing are John Hebert on bass, Ben Monder on guitar, and Geoff Young on acoustic, electric, and fretless guitar. So many strings give the songs ...
