Jason Rebello: Held
by Roger Farbey
As a teenage prodigy in 1988, Jason Rebello received the Most Promising Newcomer of the Year award in The Wire magazine. By the time he reached the tender age of 21, his debut album A Clearer View was produced by none other than Wayne Shorter; not a bad start to a burgeoning career. A graduate of ...
Chris Spedding: Songs Without Words
by Duncan Heining
Recorded for Harvest in 1970, Songs Without Words was only originally released in Japan. At the time, Chris Spedding was a much sought after guitarist in jazz and rock with one of the most impressive of CVs--Mike Westbrook, Michael Gibbs, Jack Bruce, Ian Carr's Nucleus, Pete Brown and Frank Ricotti amongst others. The reason for its ...
The Weave: Knowledge Porridge
by Phil Barnes
Once there was a time when to be an individual meant pursuing self-realisation, working out who you were, how you felt about the world and what you believed for yourself. If that meant that say Thelonious Monk, Sun Ra or Charles Mingus were viewed as eccentrics then too bad, it was just how they were or ...

Better Than TV: Late
by Roger Farbey
Five students from Cambridge (UK) recorded this debut album over two sessions, six months apart. The first session from 10 June 2013 opens with “1000 And One" on an ostinato bass figure and relaxed McCoy Tyner-esque piano. This is a relatively straightforward modal piece but with some engaging solos from the brass section and some. By ...
Franco Baggiani: Memories of Always
by Claudio Bonomi
"Suoni ribollenti, magmatici, vorticosi: un ensemble di sette elementi per sette lunghi pezzi nati in studio tra gesti, occhiate, intuizioni, fughe collettive e meditazioni solistiche. Un sound che rievoca reminiscenze funk alla Miles Davis di metà anni Settanta." Questa la nota di presentazione ufficiale del nuovo album di Franco Baggiani, virtuoso e sperimentatore della tromba e ...
Switzerland 1974
by John Kelman
Thank goodness for Cuneiform Records. Beyond releasing cutting edge new music from now-longstanding groups like The Claudia Quintet and relative newcomers like Norway's Pixel, the intrepid American label continues to unearth, restore and release wonderful archival finds like S.O.S.' Looking for the Next One (2013), and the equally impressive Flashpoint: NDR Jazz Workshop-April '69 (2011), from ...
Joe Harriott-Amancio D’Silva Quartet: Hum Dono
by Duncan Heining
All credit to Dutton Vocalion for making Hum Dono available again. It's open to question, of course, whether the record should be seen as a Harriott date at all. The Goan guitarist, Amancio D'Silva, is certainly more than a junior partner here and provides five of the record's six tunes, as well as shaping its whole ...
Gilgamesh: Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into
by John Kelman
Gilgamesh Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into Charly 1978 Today's Rediscovery pays tribute to a musician who has been dead for over 30 years but whose brief body of work remains a seminal part of the British Canterbury scene that included groups like Soft Machine, Caravan and Hatfield and The ...
Ian Carr: Belladonna
by John Kelman
Ian Carr Belladonna Vertigo 1972 Today's Rediscovery? British trumpeter Ian Carr's Belladonna, a gem of an album that's also the coming out party for soon-to-be-legendary guitarist Allan Holdsworth. A album I'd not heard in the decade since I wrote the retrospective Ian Carr And Nucleus: '70s British Jazz Rock ...
