Rodrigo Amado: Wire Quartet
by Mark Corroto
It is possible that Portuguese saxophonist Rodrigo Amado's earlier releases caught your attention because of the names of his playing partners. Chicago trombonist Jeb Bishop recorded two discs with Amado's Motion Trio, The Flame Alphabet (Not Two, 2012) and Burning Live At Jazz AO Centro (JACC Records, 2012). There was also Searching For Adam (Not Two, ...
Save the Date - Maggio 2014
by Luca Canini
Maggio, tempo di festival. L'estate si avvicina e nel Bel Paese è tutto uno sbocciare di rassegne. I mega eventi da piazza piena e sudata, i soliti programmi fotocopiati, le inutili poltiglie che tanto piacciono agli assessori e le proposte che invece piacciono a noi di All About Jazz. Non tantissime, a dire il vero. Siamo ...
Rejoice - Three New Ivo Perelman Discs
by Mark Corroto
Just think what could have been if artists like Jimmy Lyons or Albert Ayler were recording today. We might have had the ability to witness their development and observe how creative music gets nudged in new and different directions. That's exactly the gift we're given with the proliferation of recent Ivo Perelman recordings. The São Paulo-born, ...
Mark Weinstein: Latin Jazz Underground
by Dan Bilawsky
Has flautist Mark Weinstein run out of ideas on how to merge various dialects of Latin jazz with other musical tongues? The answer is a resounding “no." Latin Jazz Underground finds Weinstein saluting the loft jazz scene of the '70s by tackling the work of jazz iconoclasts-turned-icons--pianist Andrew Hill and saxophonists Ornette Coleman and Sam Rivers--and ...
Plymouth: Plymouth
by Dan Bilawsky
Jamie Saft, Joe Morris, Chris Lightcap, Gerald Cleaver, and Mary Halvorson. The simple mention of these five names is probably enough to frighten some people away from this album and make others rush toward it with open ears. Each one of the aforementioned musicians has a reputation for being a musical provocateur, pushing buttons, pushing the ...

Elias Stemeseder / Devin Gray / Anna Webber: Jagged Spheres
by Mark Corroto
The collective trio of Elias Stemeseder, Devin Gray, and Anna Webber ask you to separate the composed elements from the improvised on their debut release Jagged Spheres. The three soon-to-breakout players opt for a musical salmagundi here, filling their plates with minimalist improvisation, noisy thrashings, and organically grown interactions in this chamber jazz presentation.
James Brandon Lewis: Divine Travels
by Mark Corroto
An auspicious major label debut for a young saxophonist, Divine Travels eschews flamboyance for a deferential, mostly unpretentious bluesy free jazz recording. Lewis, a thirty-something tenor saxophone phenom chose to record here in trio without the safety net of a pianist or accompanying horn. He chose wisely though, enlisting two superstars musicians, bassist William ...
