Anishana: Corners of the Sky

by Jack Bowers
May 27, 2020

What a pleasant surprise. When a group named Anishana records an album built around Native American themes and concepts, the inclination is to withhold judgment while preparing for the worst. Yes, Anishana is an Algonquin-derived term meaning “where do you come from?" And yes, Anishana loosely bases the music in Corners of the Sky on Native ...

Downtown Boston's Jazz Swarms for Jazz Week from JazzBoston

May 1, 2011

Ken Field graciously shared his sense of the role of swarming.

Hilary Noble, of Boston origin, has studied with George Garzone and logged some good experience with New York City Latin bandleader Bobby Sanabria. This is his second ...

Hilary Noble: Noble Savage

by Jack Bowers
March 1, 2003

One has to admire the energy that is poured so lavishly into many albums of Afro-Cuban Jazz. Noble Savage bristles with vitality as it explores the many facets of Caribbean-influenced music, with side trips to Australia, home of saxophonist / conguero Hilary Noble’s forebears, and New Orleans. Much of that firepower springs from drummer / percussionist ...
