Steve Lacy Five: The Way
by Clifford Allen
Steve Lacy once said that his gradual engagement with free improvisation, “dropping the tunes" as he put it, was a mode in which he (or any musician) could get to that indescribable “thing" on the other side. It is also likely that his intense study of the songbooks of Monk, Nichols and Ellington in the '50s ...
Russ Lossing: As It Grows
by Ty Cumbie
Spacious, articulate, and artfully composed, the material heard on Russ Lossing's As It Grows --apparently some of it improvised and some composed--is consistently musical and satisfyingly rangy. Although there's a persistent strain of finespun moodiness that isn't for seekers of the heavy groove, there's enough heart-stopping beauty on this disc to make you forget, momentarily, that ...
Max Roach and Anthony Braxton: One in Two/Two in One
by Clifford Allen
On paper, the pairing of one of the architects of bebop percussion with one of the most iconoclastic (at least in '79) reedmen of the post-Coltrane age might seem a bit strange. And both artists are certainly known for a few failed collaborations: Roach's playing with Cecil Taylor in more recent years has been as conversational ...
Ellery Eskelin: Forms
by Jerry D'Souza
Though Ellery Eskelin introduced Drew Gress to Phil Haynes in 1986, they recorded their first album only two years later. Before then they joined forces with trumpeter Paul Smoker in a quartet called Joint Venture and recorded three albums as such. The understanding between the musicians grew stronger over that span of time and when Eskelin ...
Br: Tales Out Of Time
by Mark Corroto
I always liked but never quite understood Neil Young's lyric that went something like this: “...are you ready for the country, 'cause it is time to go..." To call someone “country" is to say they are simple or at the very least not urbane. But I think Neil Young was speaking more of organics and getting ...
Ellery Eskelin: Forms
by Kurt Gottschalk
In sixteen years of recording, Ellery Eskelin has focused much of his work on the trio. From Joey Baron’s unusual sax-bone-drum combo Baron Down (with Steve Swell on trombone) to his own bands (notably his trio with Andrea Parkins and Jim Black, which is marking its tenth anniversary this year), the three-piece has served Eskelin well. ...
trio x 3: New Jazz Meeting Baden-Baden 2002
by John Kelman
The integration of electronics with improvised music is nothing new; from outward reaching projects including Evan Parker’s Electro-Acoustic Ensemble to more accessible works including Dave Douglas’ Freak In , artists are exploring the sonic landscapes made possible by such marriages. Integration of electronics with new music is also not unheard of. But by wedding a trio ...
Emphasis & Flight 1961: Jimmy Giuffre
by Jeff Stockton
Up until around the time this recording was made, jazz had been beat crazy. Fast or slow, the implicit goal was swing, above all. By removing drums from the equation, Jimmy Giuffre, Paul Bley, and Steve Swallow generated their own rhythms, tested the musical expressiveness of their instruments, and explored variations in tempo and tone by ...
