Charles Lloyd: Quartets
by John Kelman
ECM's Old & New Masters Edition series was not just created to bring material back into print. Some has been available on CD before, but an even bigger carrot for fans of the label is material that has never been on compact disc, like bassist Arild Andersen's three 1970s recordings, collected on Green in Blue (2010), ...
Half Note Records: Live from the Blue Note
by Bob Kenselaar
Jeff Levenson has been at the helm of Half Note Records since 2002, just a few years after it got off the ground. Through a combination of his leadership and vision and the great artistry of the musicians represented in its catalog--including McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, Lee Konitz and many others--the label has clearly made its ...
David Weiss & Point Of Departure: Venture Inward
by Dan Bilawsky
Fans of trumpeter David Weiss may be a bit confused when they take a look at this album. At quick glance, it reads like a re-tread of Weiss' Snuck In (Sunnyside, 2010), which has a near-identical line-up playing a near-identical program, but there's a good reason for that: both albums were actually recorded a day apart ...
David Soler: Botánicas
by Enrique Turpin
Hay discos que nacen con la condición de outsiders. No sólo es que vayan a contracorriente, es que encuentran sentido en los márgenes. La periferia es su dominio y cobran sentido pleno cuando dejan descubrir su lateralidad. David Soler es el baricentro que equilibra las fuerzas, densidades y distancias del conjunto heterogéneo que es Botánicas. Un ...
"Lone Wolf" Finds Plenty to Chew On
by Jack Bowers
With Betty sidelined by a bad cough, it was up to me to seek out local jazz events in February, and I managed to find a couple of pretty good ones, starting February 7 at the University of New Mexico's Keller Hall where SuperSax New Mexico performed for the third time in Albuquerque. As you may ...
March 2013
by Mr. P.C.
Dear Mr. P.C.: Sometimes when I quote tunes, I get stuck on them, and forget what I was playing to start with. Jeff Dear Jeff:Getting stuck" on a quote means you believe, at some important unconscious level, that the song you're quoting" is better than the one you've been playing. ...
Fontanelle: Vitamin F
by Dave Wayne
The sheer improbability of Vitamin F alone is almost reason enough to savor it. But this is one heck of a great jazz recording, so Fontanelle's back story is worth pondering. Formed out of the ruins of Jessamine, one of the few Seattle bands from the mid-1990s to buck the grunge craze, Fontanelle recorded three albums ...
Michael Wolff & Mike Clark: Wolff & Clark Expedition
by Glenn Astarita
This jazz piano trio date by world-class musicians is all about the groove. Drummer Mike Clark, revered for his slippery jazz-funk beats, hearkening back to this tenure with Herbie Hancock's Headhunters, is touted as one of the most sampled drummers of the digital age. However, he is first and foremost a jazz drummer, as his resume ...
Johannesson, Schultz and Berglund, featuring Jacob Karlzon: Cause And Effect
by Chris Mosey
Events from a momentous three-year musical period greatly influenced this album: in 1967 the death of John Coltrane; the release, two years later, of In A Silent Way (Columbia, 1969) by his former boss, trumpeter Miles Davis; and the demise of rock icon Jimi Hendrix in 1970. The line-up is Max Schultz, one ...
