Bethany and Rufus: 900 Miles

Read "900 Miles" reviewed by Donald Elfman


At the celebrated and celebratory New Orleans Jazz Festival, a walk through the fairgrounds is an astonishing experience as the strains of myriad musics come together in the air and everything feels connected. The same feeling is to be had from the debut album by Bethany Yarrow and Rufus Cappadocia. With a minimum number of voices--guitar, ...

Mike Dillon's Go-Go Jungle: Battery Milk

Read "Battery Milk" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki


Vibes player and bandleader Dillon explains the concept behind his genre-mashing Go-Go Jungle ensemble this way: “I wanted to write some blues heads like Milt Jackson might have written had he grown up listening to Led Zeppelin, and play them over a go-go groove. Right from the opening “Go-Go's Theme you can tell ...

Rahsaan Roland Kirk: Brotherman to the Fatherland

Read "Brotherman to the Fatherland" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk


Of all the people trying to put jazz on the pop charts in the anything-goes period of the late '60s and early '70s--all the way up to Albert Ayler, for the love of Pete--probably the most successful at bridging the gap without watering it down was Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Long before the Steven Bernsteins and JA ...

Rahsaan Roland Kirk: Brotherman in the Fatherland

Read "Brotherman in the Fatherland" reviewed by Rex  Butters


The Masked Announcer, Joel Dorn, once again conjures up a brilliant, unheard tape by the late, lamented, legendary Rahsaan Roland Kirk. This time he brings us 34-year-old performances recorded for German radio and television (a later DVD edition, perhaps?), and officially released here for the first time.

Skerik: Husky

Read "Husky" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki


Skerik's Syncopated Taint Septet is unusual in several ways. First, there's the leader, a tenor saxophonist who goes only by his surname and who also performs in such genteel ensembles as The Dead Kenny Gs and Crack Sabbath. There's that band name, which Skerik copped from the “syncopated taint phrase first used by the US's first ...

Skerik's Syncopated Taint Septet: Husky

Read "Husky" reviewed by AAJ Staff


The select few who actually recognize Skerik's singular name will probably remember the saxophonist's recent wild and wacky adventures with Charlie Hunter, Wayne Horvitz and Bobby Previte with some nostalgia. The combination of skronk, groove and interjection he has laid down with these alternative proto-jazz icons seems to have crystallized over time, almost as much as ...
