Joe Morris Bass Quartet: High Definition
by Troy Collins
One of today's most iconoclastic jazz guitarists, Joe Morris is a staunch tonal purist whose crisp, spidery cadences and blistering angular runs are legendary in the jazz underground. Seeking new avenues for expression, Morris added upright bass to his instrumental arsenal in 2000. Since then, he has split his time between leading his own ensembles as ...
Joe Morris Bass Quartet: High Definition
by Glenn Astarita
Joe Morris has often switched between guitars and bass throughout his rather fruitful recorded legacy. He's spiraled toward the zenith of modern day progressive/avant-garde jazz artists via his numerous solo ventures and collaborations. High Definition might well stand as one of his crowning achievements, where he performs exclusively on bass while serving as the director of ...
Taylor Ho Bynum: Asphalt Flowers Forking Paths
by Robert Iannapollo
Since he started teaching at Wesleyan University in the '90s, Anthony Braxton has found a large number of players who have embraced his compositional and improvisational ideas. Cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum has been among the most active in Braxton's galaxy. Bynum has also been directing a large array of his own ensembles; of those, his sextet ...
John Zorn/George Lewis/Bill Frisell: News For Lulu
by Martin Longley
This is another reissue of the 1987 album that found this avant super-trio in what was (and still is) unlikely territory, not only playing bebop, but also pouncing on a less than obvious repertoire. Four composers were selected, their hardboppin’ tunes more or less equally divided, with around four numbers each from trumpeter Kenny ...
Russ Lossing / John Hebert: Line Up
by Wilbur MacKenzie
The profound depth of the interactions between pianist Russ Lossing and bassist John Hebert on their new duo recording bears the mark of a shared history and mutual respect and enthusiasm. Hebert and Lossing have both worked with many great artists who have shaped the history of jazz, including Paul Motian, Andrew Hill, Dave Liebman and ...
Pandelis Karayorgis: Betwixt
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il trio formato dal pianista Pandelis Karayorgis, dal bassista Nat McBride e dal batterista Curt Newton aveva già lasciato intravedere nell’album We Will Make a Home For You, registrato dal vivo nel 2005, le grandi potenzialità di questa formula sposata con la scelta di Karayorgis di lasciare da parte il pianoforte acustico (col quale ha costruito ...
Russ Lossing / John Hebert: Line Up
by Budd Kopman
Pianist Russ Lossing and bassist John Hebert have known each other a long time and have played together on a number of projects, including Lossing's own Phrase 6 (Fresh Sound New Talent, 2005), and, most recently, on the phenomenal “quasi-debut" of Michael Adkins, Rotator (HatOLOGY, 2008). After talking for a long time about ...
Pandelis Karayorgis / Nate McBride / Curt Newton: Betwixt
by Troy Collins
Pianist Pandelis Karayorgis, bassist Nate McBride and drummer Curt Newton debuted as the Mi3 trio in 2005 with We Will Make A Home For You (Clean Feed), a riotous live recording that featured Karayorgis leading the trio on a vintage Fender Rhodes. Their studio follow up, Free Advice (Clean Feed, 2007) found Karayorgis back on home ...
David Liebman & Ellery Eskelin: Renewal
by Troy Collins
Renewal is the brilliant follow-up to Different But The Same (Hatology, 2003), the debut of saxophonists Dave Liebman and Ellery Eskelin's co-led quartet. Initially perceived as a curious pairing, with Liebman the conservative elder to Eskelin's liberal youth, the two tenors actually share numerous aesthetic similarities, including an affinity for both inside and outside playing. Although ...
John Zorn / George Lewis / Bill Frisell: News for Lulu
by Chris May
Fun, fun, brilliant, spirit-raising fun. News For Lulu, recorded in 1987 and here reissued in a new master with a bonus track, features three idiosyncratic post-modern improvisers in a homage to the late 1950s hard bop songbook--not playing the material for laughs, not subjecting it to "reconstruction," but approaching it with joy, respect, truck ...
