Ivo Perelman: What A Year In Music
by Mark Corroto
There is an adage in the music world that one is damned to be a completist. Ever since performances have been captured on cylinders, records, and now digitally, music devotees have endeavored to collect entire catalogs of their favorite musicians or ensembles. Think about the obsessive hunters of 78 rpm blues records from backwoods artists of ...
Joëlle Léandre: Lifetime Rebel
by Mark Corroto
Joëlle Léandre is the definition of a force of nature. She is unstoppable, unforgettable, and full of boundless energy. It is the nature of her force that recordings like Lifetime Rebel attempt to capture. These four CDs--plus an interview and solo performance DVD--capture a moment, but just a moment of her inexhaustible spirit, before she moves ...
Tony Haynes 1941 - 2024
by Chris May
It is with great sadness that All About Jazz reports the passing of Tony Haynes, the founder and for over 40 years the creative director of London's Grand Union Orchestra (GUO). Haynes left us on 17 September 2024. Under his visionary leadership, GUO did much to take forward the idea of jazz as a multi-cultural artform, ...

Nicole Mitchell, Lina Allemano, Laubrock / Rainey & Parker / Barket / Irabagon
by Maurice Hogue
After a few shows shortened in length, I had to go back to the old three-hour joint to get all of this terrific music happening.

An eclectic mix of new music on this edition of the show with guitars and pianos featuring.

They are called Tekrar Eden and are ...
Ingrid Laubrock / Tom Rainey: Brink
by Mark Corroto
Could there be a more intimate sound than that of Brink? The saxophone/drums recording by reedist Ingrid Laubrock and percussionist Tom Rainey is as personal as it gets between two working jazz improvisers. The reason may be that Laubrock and Rainey are not just partners in music, but also life partners. Rainey is one of the ...
Anthony Braxton Saxophone Quartet: Sax QT (Lorraine) 2022
by Mark Corroto
Anthony Braxton's music can often be compared to that reoccurring dream many people have where they have an upcoming university exam. Still, they neither attended the classes nor studied for the test. The reason may be that his graphic notations along with his scores can be formidable and downright indecipherable. Listeners recognize the great man is ...
Huw Warren: Choro Choro Choro
by Chris May
The Welsh pianist Huw Warren is not a household name--though he ought to be--so a little background to Choro Choro Choro is appropriate, just in case the album is taken to have effervesced out of nowhere. In the 1990s, Warren was co-leader of the singular London quartet Perfect Houseplants. The group's half-dozen albums ...
