Nature Work Live at BIMHUIS Amsterdam
by BIMHUIS
This spring sees the release of the debut album by this new supergroup and the first clips on YouTube are convincing in every way: imaginative, fluid themes by the founders of the group, alto saxophonist Greg Ward and bass clarinetist Jason Stein, and boneshaking grooves by a first-class rhythm section, double bassist Eric Revis and drummer ...
Greg Ward & 10 Tongues
Featuring the music of Greg Ward
Duration: 6:14
Mark Dresser Seven, Georg Ruby Trio & Matthias Spillmann
by Maurice Hogue
A desire to play together more often led Chicago horn men Jason Stein and Greg Ward to ask bassist Eric Revis and drummer Jim Black to join them in making some music. Great idea, and great results. Nature Work, their new album on Sunnyside, is a winner. So is Ain't Nothing But A Cyber Coup & ...
Linda May Han Oh: Aventurine
by Angelo Leonardi
Che il talento di Linda May Han Oh includesse doti compositive era evidente nei suoi album da leader, in particolare nel recente Walk Against Wind. Piena conferma è quest'album appena uscito, dove la scrittura è predominante e i risultati sorprendenti per ricchezza e originalità delle soluzioni. Alla guida di un organico del tutto ...
Charles Rumback: Cadillac Turns
by Troy Dostert
Drummer Charles Rumback has cultivated his melodically-informed sensibility on a number of fine records. His 2017 release, Threes (ears&eyes) is a case in point, with plenty of vigor but softened with just the right amount of sentiment. The album at hand, Cadillac Turns, is much the same, although now in a quartet format with James Singleton ...
Greg Ward presents Rogue Parade: Stomping Off From Greenwood
by Jerome Wilson
On this CD saxophonist Greg Ward presents a new group, Rogue Parade, which features a front line with two guitarists, Matt Gold and Dave Miller, alongside Ward's alto. Such a configuration, combined with the graffiti-covered walls on the CD cover, suggests this band might work the slippery, interlocking street-funk path explored by Steve Coleman's groups with ...
Paul Dietrich Jazz Ensemble (featuring Clarence Penn): Forward
by Troy Dostert
There's something to be said for acknowledging one's artistic debts. It's a trait especially prominent in jazz, where musicians paying tribute to their forebears is commonplace, a way to sustain the tradition and recognize its continual evolution. Trumpeter and composer Paul Dietrich has certainly done that with the debut recording from his large ensemble, Forward. Although ...

Greg Ward: Stomping Off From Greenwood
by Mike Jurkovic
"Metropolis," the genre-shifting, stomping, opening track on alto saxophonist Greg Ward's acrobatic sophomore disc, introduces his electric jazz vision with a bristling and nervy rock 'n' roll verve. It's anchored by the sprawling kinetic energy of Chicago's tireless rhythm duo of drummer Quin Kirchner and bassist Matt Ulery, and the cutting clarity and dissonance of guitarists ...
