Daniel Blacksberg: Bit Heads
by Clifford Allen
It's somewhat surprising that there aren't too many active trombone/bass/drums power trios around, with the model being strongly set in the late 1970s New York scene by such bands as BassDrumBone (trombonist Ray Anderson, drummer Gerry Hemingway, bassist Mark Helias) and the comparable, albeit freer group Brahma, with drummer Barry Altschul. The lack of current 'bone-heavy ...
Jorrit Dijkstra: Pillow Circles
by Troy Collins
An international summit meeting, Pillow Circles joins four American jazz musicians with four Dutch improvisers.

Anthony Braxton: Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978
by Troy Collins
The 1970s were an exceedingly fertile time period for composer Anthony Braxton, whose considerable output was primarily documented by Arista Records, including his Creative Orchestra Music, which encapsulated the entire history of jazz--from Scott Joplin to Albert Ayler. One of these albums, the seminal Creative Orchestra Music 1976, was recently reissued as part of Mosaic Records' ...

Uwe Oberg / Christof Thewes / Michael Griener: Lacy Pool
by Mark Corroto
Lacy Pool, by pianist Uwe Oberg, drummer Michael Griener, and trombonist Christof Thewes, demonstrates the “circles within a circle" puzzle that mathematicians have riddled over for centuries. The piano covers of soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy's compositions were accomplished without the use of a saxophone, much like Lacy's interpretations of Thelonious Monk were made without a piano. ...
Joelle Leandre / Maguelone Vidal / Raymond Boni: trace
by Jerry D'Souza
Improvised music is created on the spur of the moment, the players looking for the common thread from which they can go in different directions as they spin their story. The logic of continuity is integral, even if they build it in pieces that may at first seem incongruent. Bassist/vocalist Joëlle Léandre, saxophonist/vocalist Maguelone Vidal and ...
Joëlle Léandre - George Lewis: Transatlantic Visions
by AAJ Italy Staff
Si sono spesso incrociate le strade di Joëlle Léandre e George Lewis nel corso degli ultimi venticinque anni di storia dell'improvvisazione. Leggenda vuole che sia stato Lewis a suggerire alla Léandre di duettare con Derek Bailey [all'interno dei vari Company a partire dal 1982 e poi nel meraviglioso No Waiting, pubblicato dalla Potlach]. In seguito i ...
Joelle Leandre: Duos with William Parker and George Lewis
