Various Artists: Impulsive! Revolutionary Jazz Reworked

Read "Impulsive! Revolutionary Jazz Reworked" reviewed by John Kelman


While traditionalists will probably balk at the idea of applying modern remix techniques to classic 1960s material from the Impulse! catalogue, Impulsive! does a good job of extending musical creativity beyond the traditional purview of the original composer/performers. After all, British saxophonist Evan Parker's Electro-Acoustic Ensemble gives equal billing to conventional instrumentalists and the artists who ...

Yusef Lateef: Psychicemotus

Read "Psychicemotus" reviewed by Norman Weinstein


This is a welcome reissue of one of a series of fine Impulse! albums by multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef that have never taken their deserved place among the major recordings of the '60s. I suspect part of the reason for their neglect has to do with the image, helped by both the Impulse!, and later Atlantic labels, ...

The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings

Read "The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


The top two live Jazz recordings in this ongoing series were recorded at the Village Vanguard within six months of each another in 1961. They represent the polar opposites of jazz. One is melodically searching, the other harmonically searching. One is quiet and exact, the other is loud and torrential. They were equally influential and visionary ...

Lorez Alexandria: Alexandria the Great

Read "Alexandria the Great" reviewed by George Harris


Everyone knows by now that jazz vocals are a major commodity. Besides the new crop of doe-eyed swans, there are the standard “legends" which the more discerning fan may indulge in. Pity the person who doesn't rediscover this too-long overlooked artist, particularly well represented on this gem of a CD. Recorded back in '64 with an ...
