Michael Musillami Trio + 3: From Seeds
by Robert Iannapollo
Connecticut-based Michael Musillami is a guitarist firmly rooted in the modern post-Coltrane jazz tradition but not above applying a rock-ish tone and aggression at times to good effect, as heard on the title track to From Seeds. His early work with the late saxophonist Thomas Chapin is worth seeking out but he really came into his ...
Barney McAll: Dynamic Pianist And Composer
by AAJ Staff
Composer and pianist Barney McAll is a leading light of the new Brooklyn--the New York borough that is the fount of much that is new in jazz. The spectrum of McAll's music is wide, ranging from mood-setting jazz ensemble recordings to electronica. But it all comes down to the notes, and their relation to each other. ...
Boston Modern Orchestra Project: Gunther Schuller: Journey Into Jazz
by Ted Gordon
What might seem the most innocuous music is often the most avant-garde, the most challenging, and the spark that forces the question as to what are the boundaries of jazz. Gunther Schuller's “Journey Into Jazz," composed in 1962, is just that. A children's narrative, it tells the story of one Eddie Jackson, “a boy who learned ...

Drummer George Schuller Interviewed at AAJ
Throughout musical history, the influences of substantial artists, recorded works, or certain epochal periods, have their effect on contemporaries and ensuing generations. For those that make music, it shows up in their playing or composing. Tracking those influences, whether well-known sources or those under the radar, is not as important as the end result of an ...

George Schuller's Circle Wide: Like Before, Somewhat After
by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio
This writer's familiarity with the physical concept known as dewpoint is as extensive as can be expected from someone who spent much of her science classes with a literary magazine hidden underneath her notebook. “Dewpoint," the appropriately titled opening track of the sophomore release of George Schuller's Circle Wide, is perhaps as elucidating as any semester-long ...
George Schuller's Circle Wide: Like Before, Somewhat After
by Nic Jones
"Dewpoint," the appropriately titled opening track of Like Before, Somewhat After, the sophomore release of George Schuller's work with Circle Wide, is perhaps as elucidating as any semester-long course in conveying what it means to reaching a threshold of precise saturation, neither failing to live up to the bar set high nor causing discomfort by reaching ...
George Schuller's Circle Wide: Like Before, Somewhat After
by John Sharpe
It's now some thirty-one years since the demise of Keith Jarrett's “American Quartet," uniting Ornette Coleman alumni Dewey Redman and Charlie Haden with former Bill Evans drummer Paul Motian. That group's masterpiece and effective swansong was Survivors' Suite (ECM, 1976), and so it is fitting that two sections are reprised on drummer/composer George Schuller's affectionate tribute ...
