Noah Kaplan Quartet: Descendants
by Mark Corroto
Schooled at the knee of microtonal innovator Joe Maneri and supported by Maneri collaborator Joe Morris on his first release as a leader, saxophonist Noah Kaplan's Descendants is quite the auspicious debut.Kaplan's music is an archeological dig that unearths the remains of mummified blues and early jazz--at least a well-preserved jazz sound once rediscovered ...
Ray Anderson / Han Bennink / Christy Doran: ABD
by Troy Collins
The international collaborative trio of American trombonist Ray Anderson, Dutch drummer Han Bennink and Irish guitarist Christy Doran recorded two adventurous albums for hatART in the mid-1990s; Azurety was released in 1994 and Cheer Up arrived the following year.

Albert Ayler: Stockholm, Berlin 1966
by Glenn Astarita
Indeed, a desert island quality album reissued with a digital uplift of celebrated tenor saxophonist Albert Ayler's 1966 Stockholm and Berlin concerts, where the artist resides in a very special musical space unlike any other. With his infamous slants on America's historical affinity for march music, Ayler's colossal presence and coiling use of vibrato ...
Steve Lacy Five: Blinks...Zurich Live 1983
by Glenn Astarita
Blinks...Zurich Live 1983 is one of those ageless albums that accentuates the unparalleled synchronicity of iconic soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy's Five, captured live at a 1983 concert in Zurich, Switzerland. Packed with the leader's linear and concise theme constructions, the band reconfigures and rewinds many of the primary melodies amid moments of energized minimalism and lyrical ...
Ray Anderson / Han Bennink / Christy Doran: A B D
by Glenn Astarita
In the '90s, this trio ascended to the upper echelon of all things considered cutting-edge in the wide open world of jazz and improvisation. This reissue is a compilation featuring all of Azurety (hatART, 1994) and three tracks culled from Cheer Up (hatART, 1995). Other than his superior improvisational faculties, Irish guitarist Christy Doran ...
Pandelis Karayorgis Quintet: System Of 5
by Troy Collins
A longstanding adherent of intimate duo and trio settings, Boston-based pianist Pandelis Karayorgis' discography has been dominated by small combo recordings since the early 1990s, with many founded on the venerable configuration of piano, bass and drums. A radical traditionalist with a penchant for the acute angles and strident tonalities of advanced post-bop, Karayorgis' recent exploits ...
Steve Lacy Five: Blinks...Zurich Live 1983
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Few musicians bestrode the world of the avant-garde like the proverbial Colossus, but Steve Lacy did. He played with the heart of a giant and a soul in which a flame was lit in the '50s, when he began his career playing Dixieland music. By the time he made his presence felt in the avant-garde playing ...
Pandelis Karayorgis: System of 5
by Raul d'Gama Rose
One of the most enduring qualities possessed by pianist Pandelis Karayorgis is his startling intellect, as well as the grace with which he announces his arrival. A truly gifted musician with a penchant for angularity, his playing is, nevertheless, beautifully logical, even when he is playing those darting arpeggios that a linear melody demands. However, every ...
Pandelis Karayorgis Quintet: System of 5
by Glenn Astarita
One of the major attributes of System of 5 pertains to the modality of New England area pianist Pandelis Karayorgis, which lies between modern jazz, with heavy rhythmic nods to Thelonious Monk, and a newer slant that parallels the current state of jazz imperialism. Backed by a new band, the musicians overlap mainstream persuasions with tricky ...
Ran Blake: That Certain Feeling (George Gershwin Songbook)
by AAJ Italy Staff
Non verrebbe spontaneo associare il nome di George Gershwin a quello di Ran Blake o di Steve Lacy, così come a quello del tenorsassofonista Ricky Ford, protagonisti di questo disco. Per fortuna! Nessun rischio di maniera né di consunte scorribande soliste sopra i giri armonici più abusati del jazz: in queste registrazioni del 1990, ora nuovamente ...
