The Bad Plus: Prog
by Troy Collins
Free from the confines of major label machinery, The Bad Plus returns to its independent roots fully rejuvenated with Prog, its fifth studio album and first on its own Do The Math imprint (distributed by Heads Up). Although a three-album tenure on Columbia Records brought The Bad Plus far greater recognition than its self-titled 2001 debut ...
Andy Narell: Tatoom: Music for Steel Orchestra
by Jeff Winbush
There are times when you have to admire an artistic effort for its sheer audacity if nothing else. Andy Narell's Tatoom is one such statement. Commercial considerations aside, Narell is doing nothing less than to continue growing and developing as a musician. In the process of pushing himself he's pushing the listener as well, which may ...
Andy Narell: Tatoom: Music for Steel Orchestra
by Woodrow Wilkins
The steel pan, sometimes referred to as the steel drum or oil drum, is almost synonymous with Latin music. However, one artist has taken the instrument into another realm. For almost thirty years, Andy Narell has been a world force, not only playing jazz with the pans but also writing jazz for this instrument.

by Woodrow Wilkins
If you're looking to relax and maybe have a little background music to help you snooze, don't go near Brown Street, the new release by Austrian-born Joe Zawinul. If, on the other hand, you need a pick-me-up, this is it. Revisiting some of his past hits and backed by the WDR Big Band, Zawinul reiterates that ...
Joe Zawinul: Brown Street
by John Kelman
The fusion supergroup Weather Report's hit “Birdland" may have been covered by big bands before, but the majority of the extensive repertoire created during its 1971-86 run has remained largely untouched. Given founding member Joe Zawinul's innovative orchestrations on primitive analogue synthesizers, it's surprising more large ensembles haven't taken advantage of his ready-made arrangements.
Yellowjackets: Twenty Five
by AAJ Italy Staff
Non sono molti i gruppi musicali che riescono a festeggiare i 25 anni di attività ininterrotta, soprattutto in un campo come quello della fusion, spesso legato a mode estemporanee. Che gli Yellowjackets ci siano arrivati, è un fatto che depone a loro favore, dimostrando la validità e serietà del loro progetto musicale. Della formazione originaria rimangono ...
Chuck Loeb: Presence
by Jeff Winbush
Presence, a gorgeous, lyrical album, provides a suitable showcase for Chuck Loeb's technical proficiency and impressive range. You don't just hear Loeb. You can almost see him creating the music. Maybe that's a shout-out to the recording process, but Loeb's guitar playing is crystal-clear and right up front. He's not a splashy musician, but you can ...
