Jon Lundbom's Big Five Chord: No New Tunes
by Dave Wayne
Certainly not straight-ahead jazz, decidedly not fusion, and not really free-jazz either, guitarist/composer Jon Lundbom and his Big Five Chord have taken a decidedly idiosyncratic path that simultaneously eschews and embraces all of these sub-genres, while largely rejecting their collective stylistic baggage. This judiciously iconoclastic individualism is what one can expect from Lundbom, a musician whose ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Slippery Rock
by Glenn Astarita
Strangely enough, bandleader and bassist Moppa Elliot derived inspiration for his compositions on Slippery Rock from smooth jazz albums of the late 1970s and '80s. However, it's more like smooth jazz under siege; with resonating rhythms, scorching and wily horns choruses, the program offers subliminal detections of commercial jazz fare as the band often breaks into ...
Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: No New Tunes
by AAJ Italy Staff
Quinto episodio della saga Big Five Chord, No New Tunes conferma quanto di buono questo manipolo di guastatori musicali ha (dis)fatto finora nelle varie formazioni nelle quali si sono ritrovati e tutt'ora continuano a ritrovarsi. Mentre il titolo è un chiaro paradosso in perfetto band-style - le sei composizioni sono naturalmente nuove di zecca - lo ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Slippery Rock
by AAJ Italy Staff
Mettere in fila un paio di idee e fissarle su nastro, magari riuscendo a dire qualcosa di significativo, è alla portata di molti. Restare in carreggiata per dieci anni e cinque dischi - sei compreso il doppio Live in Coimbra -, viaggiando a mille all'ora e con il motore sempre al massimo dei giri, è cosa ...

Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Slippery Rock
by Eyal Hareuveni
Mostly Other Peopele Do the Killing is back! And with it the rightly slandered genre of smooth jazz. This quintet's fifth studio album was penned by MOPDtK bassist Moppa Elliot after a lengthy immersion in the smooth jazz recordings of the late 1970s and '80s. Elliott extracted certain idiomatic phrases, harmonies and embellishments from this superficial ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Slippery Rock
by John Sharpe
Like the previous four studio albums by self-styled bebop terrorist band Mostly Other People Do the Killing, Slippery Rock begins with a drum solo over a vamp before kicking into the first tune. That's not the only thing that remains constant. Leader/bassist Moppa Elliott's songwriting talents haven't deserted him either; his charts, named after small Pennsylvania ...

Bryan and the Haggards: Still Alive and Kickin' Down the Walls
by AAJ Italy Staff
Torna la country-free-jazz band più divertente e fracassona di Hollywood. Brian and the Haggards, vale a dire il sassofonista Bryan Murray alla testa del suo improbabile quintetto di cowboy metropolitani: Jon Irabagon alle ance, Moppa Elliott al contrabbasso (metà dei Mostly Other People Do the Killing), il batterista Danny Fischer e il chitarrista Jon Lundbom (quello ...
Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Quavers! Quavers! Quavers! Quavers!
by Glenn Astarita
Since 2003, guitarist Jon Lundbom and his Big Five Chord unit have been crashing and slashing through the jazz-rock idiom, often lying on the perimeter of the avant-garde spectrum. With a support band comprised of solo artists and first-call session aces, the music is often hard-edged and chockfull of off-kilter innuendoes and ballsy soloing excursions.
