Shot x Shot: Let Nature Square
by Budd Kopman
The cooperative quartet ShotXShot has most assuredly earned all of the acclaim for its first release, Shot x Shot (High Two Recordings, 2006), which seemingly came out nowhere, as well as this second remarkable recording, Let Nature Square. The former album was recorded live in a church and the music was designed to ...
ShotXShot: Let Nature Square
by Kurt Gottschalk
The ShotXShot formula is a simple one. It follows the Ornette Coleman model of group improvisation on set themes, although its music doesn't sound like Coleman's harmolodics. It has a rolling, mellifluous sound, without Coleman's sharp angles. And rather than the sax/trumpet front line of Coleman's classic quartet, it has the twin saxophones of Bryan Rogers ...
Shot x Shot: Let Nature Square
by Mark Corroto
The band Shot x Shot excels in the art of group improvisation. A term tossed about too often without consideration for the words, 'group' and 'improvisation.'

Inherent in that process is joint collaboration and framing of an idea, in a perhaps unspoken agreement that permits a reasonable flow. Voices ...
His Name Is Alive: Sweet Earth Flower: A Tribute To Marion Brown
by Chris May
Starting with a bold and beautiful idea--to perform a concert tribute to an iconic musician from an earlier age while that musician is still with us--His Name Is Alive have gone on to record an album of such oh-my-god beauty and vitality that the listener may at first be reduced to silent, slack-jawed wonder. And while ...
His Name Is Alive: Sweet Earth Flower
by AAJ Italy Staff
La storia del jazz è costellata di artisti dimenticati, talentose meteore che dopo aver toccato invidiabili vette scompaiono dalla luce dei riflettori, spesso in modo tragico. Marion Brown è uno di questi, anche se fortunatamente è ancora vivo e non ha subìto le vicissitudini toccate a Henry Grimes ed altri protagonisti del free. Dopo aver partecipato ...
