Eric Revis: Laughter's Necklace of Tears
by David Adler
Best known for his decade-plus with the Branford Marsalis Quartet, bassist Eric Revis has also thrived in trio settings with Avram Fefer, Peter Brötzmann and most recently Kurt Rosenwinkel, playing everything from pure straight-ahead to absolutely free. He debuted as a leader in 2004 with Tales of the Stuttering Mime (11:11), and he imbues his sophomore ...
Gerald Cleaver - William Parker - Craig Taborn: Farmers by Nature
by AAJ Italy Staff
Musica libera, ricca di fremiti e colta dal vivo all'interno del piccolissimo Stone, il locale di New York dove si è tenuto questo concerto, il 19 giugno 2008. Il tratto saliente del disco è un senso del tempo e del ritmo che pervade ogni secondo di musica, che segna ovviamente anche la percussività tellurica e sottotraccia ...
Miroslav Vitous Group /w Michel Portal: Remembering Weather Report
by John Kelman
On the surface, Remembering Weather Report possesses little in common with the fusion supergroup that Czech bassist Miroslav Vitous co-founded in the early '70s with keyboardist Joe Zawinul and saxophonist Wayne Shorter, before being summarily removed on the cusp of greater commercial success. Weather Report was a decidedly electric group; Vitous' is unapologetically acoustic, and doesn't ...
Gerald Cleaver / William Parker / Craig Taborn: Farmers by Nature

On Farmers by Nature pianist Craig Taborn, drummer Gerald Cleaver and bassist William Parker are like cartographers of the unknown, diving deep into the world of improvised music. Guided by each ...
Craig Taborn: Rooted
by Ian Patterson
There is no place for fear or doubt in pianist Craig Taborn's playing--such states are banished from a mind that seeks to explore the musical possibilities of each moment with maximum freedom. Taborn's improvisational playing is a continual creation where the journey is the thing, and words like beautiful, ugly and mistake have virtually no meaning. ...
Jason Rigby: The Sage
by Eyal Hareuveni
The sophomore release of New York-based saxophonist/composer Jason Rigby features him as a unique new voice that deserves wider attention. His deep, full-bodied tenor sound and his inside-outside jazz vocabulary reference sax greats such as John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter, while his elastic sense of time sounds closer to the fluid playfulness of Ornette Coleman. His ...

Jason Rigby: The Sage
by J Hunter
When purists maintain their Cheney-like insistence that nobody could have foreseen Miles Davis recording something as incendiary as Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1969), they reveal a blind spot the size of the Chrysler Building. The pre-Brew signs were as plain as the glasses on Stanley Crouch's face: First there was Filles de Kilimanjaro (Columbia, 1968), which codified ...
