All About Jazz is celebrating Ingrid Laubrock's birthday today!

Ingrid Laubrock Octet: Zurich Concert
by John Sharpe
Even though numbering just eight strong, Ingrid Laubrock makes such skillful use of the talented cast at her disposal on Zurich Concert that the band delivers an almost orchestral experience. She achieves that through the deployment of three chordal instruments in Mary Halvorson's guitar, Liam Noble's piano and Ted Reichman's accordion. Not that you would characterize ...
Max Johnson: Big Eyed Rabbit
by Karl Ackermann
Bassist Max Johnson is one of the most prolific and versatile musician/composers in music today and likely on the verge of a major breakthrough. Barely past the year's mid-point Johnson has offered three fine releases with different groups and distinctly different styles. Recording with Kirk Knuffke on cornet on Johnson's namesake trio release The Invisible Trio ...

Max Johnson: The Prisoner
by John Sharpe
NYC-based bassist Max Johnson already boasts an impressively strong discography, after just two entries: Quartet (Not Two, 2013) and Elevated Vegetation (FMR, 2012).

Michael Fischer / Marcos Baggiani: bAgg*fisH
by Eyal Hareuveni
The duo bAgg*fisH--Austrian saxophonist and violinist Michael Fischer, and Amsterdam-based Argentinian drummer Marcos Baggiani began working together in 2003. The two were determined to redefine the sonic options of such a duo, blurring the conventional distinctions between muscular free jazz, post-rock, psychedelic dramas and noisy outbursts. The duo's music is wrapped in an experimental, risk-taking envelope, ...
Tom Rainey: Obbligato
by Libero Farnè
Ecco un disco bello, intelligente, del tutto convincente in quanto rimane aderente ad una precisa tradizione jazzistica, riuscendo nello stesso tempo a trascenderla e rivitalizzarla. L'idea è semplice: reinterpretare composizioni storiche del repertorio jazzistico, fra le quali alcuni standard ben noti ed altri meno frequentati, conferendo loro un'insolita veste armonica, strutturale e ...
Mary Halvorson Septet: Illusionary Sea
by Phil Barnes
In 2009 Mary Halvorson was asked how relevant she felt that the word 'jazz' was to musicians of her generation. Her response was telling “Oh, I think about jazz all the time and although I don't play the traditional forms, I call myself a 'jazz musician.'.. trying to integrate everything into my own language." The corollary ...
Frank Lacy: That Which Is Planted
by Mark Corroto
The real reason the revolution will not be televised (with apologies to Gil Scott Heron) is that the sound of the revolution is free jazz. While those street fighting men are satisfied to throw rock music up against the wall, the real uprising is music of bands like 1032K. With roots in the streets and lofts ...
