Jenny ScheinmanLe Poisson RougeNew York City August 4, 2009The chameleon-like but ever electric Nels Cline seemed at first to be an unusual partner for violinist Jenny Scheinman, but if anything the guitarist knows how to make things work and he pushed the quartet (with bassist Matt Penman and drummer Jim ...
Jonathan Bratoeff & Chris Vatalaro: Chapters
by Chris May
Unexpectedly, a trend has been developing among musicians associated with London's F-IRE collective to revisit the standards repertoire. It's not an area this experimentally inclined body of players usually inhabits, but the results so far--all recorded by duos--make it an engaging diversion. Saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and pianist Liam Noble were first off the block ...
Chico Freeman, Air, Walt Dickerson, George Cables: Buried Treasures Now On CD
by Chris May
Not to be confused with the Swedish trance and electronica label of the same name, the original Why Not label was an adventurous affair run by the Japanese businessman and jazz fan Masahiko Yuh for a brief but productive spell in the 1970s. With few contacts, but armed with an outstanding pair of ears, a cheque ...
Ingrid Laubrock: Sleepthief
by AAJ Italy Staff
Con il consueto acume che ne contraddistingue arte e favella, nelle note di copertina di Sleepthief Steve Beresford offre un'intrigante chiave di lettura per la musica proposta dalla neonata formazione della sassofonista tedesca, anche se londinese d'azione e spesso residente a New York, Ingrid Laubrock: immaginate una via di mezzo fra il trio Schlippenbach/Parker/Lovens e il ...
Julian Siegel Trio: Live At The Vortex
by Chris May
He may or may not be “mad, bad and dangerous to know," as a female contemporary famously described the 19th century poet Lord Byron, but there is something distinctly Byronic about British reeds player Julian Siegel. His cascading curls (an early nickname was Wig), penchant for black clothing, and the intense lyricism of his playing combine ...
Carlos Lopez-Real's Mandorla: Mandorla
by Chris May
Among the otherwise quite disparate assembly of musicians which makes up London's F-IRE collective and label, a shared sense of playfulness runs deep. Leading lights such as saxophonists Ingrid Laubrock and Finn Peters, guitarist Jonny Phillips, trumpeter and flugelhornist Tom Arthurs, cellist Ben Davis and drummer Seb Rochford--all seriously adventurous musicians--bring refreshing degrees of fun to ...

Paul Clarvis / Liam Noble: Starry Starry Night
by Chris May
A charming little beauty, Starry Starry Night is a collection of cover versions of mainly familiar material by drummer Paul Clarvis and pianist Liam Noble, two characterful lights of the British jazz scene. The tunes range from classic standards like Duke Ellington's “Mood Indigo," the Gershwins' “Embraceable You" and Scott Joplin's “Maple Leaf Rag," through to ...
Ingrid Laubrock: Sleepthief
by Clifford Allen
Sleepthief is an album in heavy company--as with any lineup featuring saxophones, piano and percussion, it will inevitably be compared with almost four decades of work by the Alexander von Schlippenbach Trio, as well as Cecil Taylor's 1962 trio with Jimmy Lyons and Sunny Murray and perhaps even the Lester Young-Nat King Cole-Buddy Rich trio of ...
