Jackson Harrison Trio: Land Tides
by J Hunter
Australia is better-known for rock than it is for jazz, but Jackson Harrison might change that. The spirit of Bill Evans and Paul Bley runs through the young Aussie's compositions like two streams coming together to form a raging river. The Jackson Harrison Trio paints pictures of astonishing abstract art on its debut disc Land Tides, ...
David Liebman / Richie Beirach / Ron McClure / Billy Hart: Redemption - Quest Live in Europe
by John Kelman
The passage of time has no meaning when it comes to the kind of intimate musical understanding that saxophonist David Liebman and pianist Richie Beirach have shared since first working together in the early '70s. They have collaborated on numerous group projects as well as a series of duet recordings that are in dire need of ...
Christian Weber: 3 Suits & a Violin
by Derek Taylor
One of the unwritten idiomatic tenets of a lot of electro-acoustic improv is the sublimation of the individual for the collective cause. In the process, the sounds of itemized and identifiable instruments are often replaced with more implicit textures and shapes. Bassist Christian Weber is adept at this strategy having worked with some of the leading ...
Daniel Levin: Some Trees
by Donald Elfman
Cellist Daniel Levin expands the compositional and improvisational palettes of modern jazz on Some Trees with a provocatively assembled group of adventurous musicians and pieces. Without a drummer, this group is able to rethink the dynamics and dialectic of a “jazz" group and find new phrasing, spacing and modes of interaction. All of the players contribute ...
Steve Lacy: New Jazz Meeting Baden-Baden 2002
by Karl A.D. Evangelista
Steve Lacy wore as many hats as any musician of his generation: instrumentalist par excellence, free music innovator, master composer, solo saxophone trailblazer, poetry buff, Monkian doyen, salvager of the soprano, world traveler, inspirational offbeatnik. The evolution of Lacy's aesthetic catholicism is a wonder to trace, dissect, and absorb, and it's fascinating to hear, even now, ...
Joe McPhee & Survival Unit II with Clifford Thornton: N.Y.N.Y. 1971
by AAJ Italy Staff
Furono proprio l'incontro con McPhee e l'ascolto dei nastri di questo concerto che nel 1974 convinsero Werner X. Uehlinger ad intraprendere l'attività di produttore discografico. Ed infatti la maggior parte degli LP pubblicati dalla Hat Hut negli anni Settanta erano tesi alla documentazione sistematica, quasi maniacale, della musica del polistrumentista americano. Quando nell'ottobre 1971 al WBAI's ...
Colin Vallon Trio: Ailleurs
by Glenn Astarita
The alternative jazz piano trio vibe hits rather poignantly during the start of the opening piece on Ailleurs, “Le Paradis Perdu. With dense bells, cymbals, prepared piano treatments and an ethereal world music sound, you might guess that the Colin Vallon Trio is up to something rather special. The musicians instill budding movements and regal choruses ...
John Carter / Bobby Bradford Quartet: Seeking
by Jerry D'Souza
The New Art Jazz Ensemble was formed in 1964 by John Carter (alto and tenor saxophones, clarinet, flute) and Bobby Bradford (trumpet). They brought in Tom Williamson (bass) and Bruz Freeman (drums) to give structure to their vision: each player listening to and cooperating with the others, contributing to the group's collective expression within the mood ...
Christian Weber: 3 Suits & A Violin
by Nic Jones
In his accompanying notes for 3 Suits & A Violin, Dean M. Roberts quite rightly refers to the fact that this music eschews formulaic approaches. It's equally true to say that another of its key elements is the sublimation of individual instrumental identity. For example Hans Koch's saxophones are at one and the same time not ...
Efzeg: Krom
by Glenn Astarita
I initially became acquainted with this Vienna-based electro-acoustic outfit through Grain (Duran, 2000). With saxophones, turntables, and the addition of high-tech instrumentation, Krom further develops Efzeg's microtonal and minimalistic methodology. The group often explores a gnomic musical panorama, intimating a rather solitary existence of barely detectable turntable scratches, subliminal effects and trance-like passages. Dynamics ...
