ROPE: Fabrizio Puglisi / Stefano Senni / Zeno De Rossi: Saints And Sinners
by Mark Corroto
All jazz trios are charged with the command to “make it new," and very few accomplish that directive. Some impersonate the giants of jazz, while others play a parody--massacring styles in the name of modernizing the sound. Neither is the case for the trio known as ROPE. Pianist Fabrizio Puglisi, bassist Stefano Senni, and drummer Zeno ...
Dave Douglas Tiny Bell Trio: Constellations
by Mark Corroto
With trumpeter Dave Douglas' 21st century star continuing to rise, the hatOLOGY reissue of his Tiny Bell Trio recording Constellations serves as a reminder of the not too distant past.

Dave Douglas' Tiny Bell Trio: Constellations
by Chris May
When hatOLOGY put it out back in summer 2009, pianist Horace Tapscott's mother lode of groove, The Dark Tree, originally released in 1991, looked like a serious contender for best reissue of the year. It's still a player--but so too is trumpeter Dave Douglas' Tiny Bell Trio's Constellations, which slips under the wire at the eleventh ...

Jacques Pellarin Trio: Sound of Philadelphia
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Sound of Philadelphia is not a novelty record--one that some critics might dismiss as world music. Jacques Pellarin's music is inflected with myriad cultural influences, so this rather empty epithet is likely to be used on the composer. This labeling is especially tough on an artist who is as seriously talented as the French/Basque musician. Pellarin ...
Jean-Nicholas Trottier: Quartet
by Raul d'Gama Rose
If anyone has learned Roswell Rudd's remarkable lesson in the infinitely mammalian voice simulations possible on the trombone, it's Jean-Nicholas Trottier. Quartet, Trottier's small ensemble record--earlier in 2009 he released his first, big band record--features the trombonist in almost splendid isolation, with only saxophonist Alexandre Côtè in play. Along with bassist Sébastien Pellerin and drummer Michel ...
