Joel Harrison: The Wheel
by John Kelman
Following three albums focusing more heavily on his skills as an interpreter and performer, guitarist Joel Harrison reminded those aware of him prior to Free Country (ACT, 2003) that his compositional acumen remained sharp with Harbor (HighNote, 2007). The Wheel heads for more ambitious territory--a 38-minute, five-movement suite for jazz quintet and string quartet that doesn't ...
Jon Irabagon: Outright!
by Eyal Hareuveni
Jon Irabagon is one of the most promising and versatile sax players in New York. Last year he was described, in the humoristic liner notes of Moppa Elliot's terrorist bebop quartet Mostly Other People Do the Killing's Shamokin (Hot Cup, 2007), as “somehow seemingly melding Najee and Zorn," his sax playing recalling “Johnny Hodges, Booker Ervin ...

Jason Kao Hwang / Edge: Stories Before Within
by Troy Collins
Stories Before Within is the second album from violinist Jason Kao Hwang's three-year-old ensemble, Edge. Their self-titled debut for Asian Improv Records was one of 2006's sleeper hits, a record brimming with stirring melodies, unorthodox arrangements and stunning group interplay. No less imaginative, their follow-up blends Eastern and Western traditions with even greater conviction. Joined again ...
Jason Kao Hwang / Edge: Stories Before Within
by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio
It is difficult to escape the storytelling element of the new release Stories Before Within. There's that title for one; the cover art prominently displays an open book and the first sentence in the liner notes emphatically declares, “as he prepared his new release by Edge, violinist-composer Jason Kao Hwang was thinking about storytelling."
Jason Kao Hwang / Edge: Stories Before Within
by Jerry D'Souza
Composer and violinist Jason Kao Hwang and his group Edge return with a story to tell on each of the five tracks on Stories Before Within. Hwang has long been a potent force in assimilating various styles of music, particularly Chinese, Korean and Japanese, with jazz. The result has been a startling cornucopia of thematic dynamics.

Amanda Monaco: Intention
by AAJ Italy Staff
C’è qualcosa di sfuggente e di indefinito nella musica di Amanda Monaco, chitarrista e compositrice allieva di Ted Dunbar, Kenny Barron e Harold Mabern, oltre che membro fondatore delle Lascivious Biddies, pluripremiato quartetto pop tutto al femminile. Quando pensi di essere pienamente entrato nei codici interpretativi dei suoi brani, di averne compreso l’intima essenza, ecco che ...
Amanda Monaco 4: Intention
by Clifford Allen
The midrange frequently offers more interesting textures, colors and possibilities in improvised music, precisely because it is sometimes a music that's, even to the initiated, thought of as an art form that embraces the extremes. But for every John McLaughlin or Wes Montgomery, there is a Joe Morris, an Attila Zoller, or an Amanda Monaco.
