Lafayette Gilchrist: Three
by Franz A. Matzner
Grounded in Baltimore's blue collar defiance and port city ruggedness, pianist Lafayette Gilchrist's style is fully his own, deliberately iconoclastic and aggressively blunt. And his third outing--aptly titled Three--remains firm in its dedication to this rough hewn tone, even as it translates the big, horn driven sound of his first two recordings to the trio format. ...
Lafayette Gilchrist: Three
by Troy Collins
Three is Baltimore-based pianist Lafayette Gilchrist's first trio recording. Typically playing in larger configurations, Gilchrist is the leader of a seven-piece funk band, the New Volcanoes, and primary pianist for tenor saxophonist David Murray's numerous ensembles for the past few years. This stripped-down session is his most revealing record. The Music According to Lafayette ...
Mushroom with Eddie Gale: Joint Happening
by Troy Collins
The Oakland, California based instrumental band Mushroom has been blending psychedelia, fusion, post-rock, free jazz, Krautrock and grooving funk into a heady stew for ten years. Tying together their disparate influences through example, Mushroom has played with members of Krautrock pioneers Faust, Daevid Allen of Gong, Bundy K. Brown of Tortoise, and Kevin Ayers of Soft ...
James Blood Ulmer: Bad Blood in the City: the Piety Street Sessions
by AAJ Italy Staff
Se qualcuno aveva ancora qualche dubbio sul fatto che James “Blood” Ulmer fosse innanzitutto e prima di ogni altra cosa un chitarrista blues, Bad Blood in The City dovrebbe contribuire a sgombrare definitivamente il campo da qualsiasi fraintendimento. Ulmer era già blues quando accompagnava Ornette Coleman e tutti lo definivano pomposamente “harmolodic guitarist”; era blues quando ...
Mushroom with Eddie Gale: Joint Happening
by Mark Corroto
The convergence of San Francisco psychedelic post-jazz collective Mushroom and trumpeter Eddie Gale seems preordained. For the past ten years the collective has been performing music in the spirit of Can, Gong, Soft Machine, and the Allman Brothers. Finding that Eddie Gale lives on the west coast certainly caused the convergence of his horn with this ...
Mushroom with Eddie Gale: Joint Happening
by Chris May
Here's a pocketful of magic to feed your head, lest you forgot what the doormouse said. The none-too-subtly titled Joint Happening is a psilocybin-drenched shot of late 1960s astral jazz with the funk filtered out and replaced by post-rave “tribal" beats and an art-rock keyboards and guitar sensibility referencing bands like Gong and Can. It's the ...
James "Blood" Ulmer: Bad Blood in the City: The Piety Street Sessions
by Troy Collins
Almost two years after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Bad Blood In The City arrives. During its chaotic aftermath, Harmolodic guitarist and futuristic bluesman James “Blood" Ulmer penned a number of tunes inspired by the events surrounding the disaster. Bolstered by a half dozen classic blues tunes, this concept record serves as a harrowing reminder of ...
James Blood Ulmer: Bad Blood in the City: The Piety Street Sessions

The Piety recording studio, where James Blood Ulmer recorded Bad Blood in the City: The Piety Street Sessions, stands on the corner of Piety and Dauphine Streets, the original route of the famous Desire streetcar line in New Orleans' ninth ward. In an early scene from Tennessee Williams' play, A Streetcar Named Desire, Stanley enters the ...

Mike Dillon's Go-Go Jungle: Battery Milk
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Vibraphonist Mike Dillon has a very good idea (which is much more than is needed to make a record these days). Dillon's idea is to make a kind of distorted around the edges, loud, vibes-based funk-rock. Perhaps the finest example on this, his début recording, is “Broc's Last Stand." It's the presence of the vibes that ...
