However, away from such matters, The Clarinet Trio is the name of a three-clarinet group which first recorded together ...
Satoko Fujii & Joe Fonda: Thread Of Light
by Mark Corroto
Damn the liner notes! If you didn't read the explanation of how this duo recording was produced, you would never guess it was not a studio session between pianist Satoko Fujii and bassist Joe Fonda. Thread Of Light was actually a product of the pandemic isolation, with Fujii in Kobe, Japan, and Fonda in New York. ...

Conference Call: Prism
by Mark Corroto
Conference Call is a quartet, but could also be described as a trio+ because the core members—saxophonist and bass clarinetist Gebhard Ullmann, pianist Michael Jefry Stevens, and bassist Joe Fonda—have been touring and recording together for more than two decades.

Conference Call: Prism

Most jazz groups that stay together for a long time, such as The Modern Jazz Quartet or The Art Ensemble of Chicago, achieve a certain prominence. It is a surprise then to realize that the lesser-known band, Conference Call, has been around since 1999 and is here releasing its eighth album. The group's core ...
Conference Call: Prism
by Dan McClenaghan
Prism, by the band Conference Call, sounds, on the set's opening tune, “F.J.D.," like a bunch of guys who might mug you: a brash, turbulent, confrontational crowd with a “we-don't-take-no-mess-from-nobody" approach to making music. Credit reedman Gebhard Ullmann with his grouchy, working-man-roused-from-his-afternoon-nap tenor sax sound, and the powerful bass (which you can feel in your bones) ...
