Sonic Liberation Front: Change Over Time
by Nic Jones
There are a lot of elements to this music--too many, in fact--and they gel only intermittently. Percussion workouts, vocals, the overt use of Pan-African music, and horn solos all vie for attention, but after a few listens, many of them just seem to fade into the background. The programme starts well enough with “The Next Thing ...
Dave Burrell: Momentum
by Ian Patterson
A traditionalist with respect for the avant-garde, or an avant-garde acolyte with respect for tradition? Dave Burrell would appear to have a foot in both camps. On Momentum the pianist is supported and augmented by the outstanding new rhythm section of bassist Michael Formanek and drummer Guillermo E. Brown. The music manages to be quirky yet ...
Dave Burrell: Momentum
by Troy Collins
For the first time in almost thirty years, pianist Dave Burrell returned to the studio to record as a leader with William Parker and Andrew Cyrille on 2004's Expansion (High Two). Momentum features Burrell recording for the first time with bassist Michael Formanek and drummer Guillermo E. Brown, continuing to explore the classic piano trio format. ...
Shot x Shot: Shot x Shot
by Tom Greenland
Shot x Shot is a group of four young musicians from Philadelphia--Bryan Roger (tenor sax), Dan Capecchi (drums), Dan Scofield (alto sax) and Matt Engle (bass)--who play with a free-roaming, exploratory spirit coupled to a precociously mature sense of pacing and restraint. Recorded in St. Mary's Church, this self-titled disc emits an ethereal ambiance, from the ...
Shot x Shot: Shot x Shot
by Budd Kopman
From the very first notes of this debut album, it is abundantly clear that it's an important record, and these young men (the oldest is 26!) have that special something. Jazz, or to use a term preferred by Bob Rusch of Cadence, “creative improvised music," is the epitome of existential artistic creation. The process yields coherent ...

Sonic Liberation Front: Ash
by Brian P. Lonergan
At Satalla in late January, Sonic Liberation Front delivered a rousing set that was representative (almost song-for-song) of the group's new album, Ashé A Go-Go. Their second release since forming in 2000, Ashé continues the Front's compelling combination of Afro-Cuban batá drumming from the Nigerian Yoruba tradition with angular horn melodies in the style of Ornette ...
