Sean Noonan/Aram Bajakian: CHiPS
by Nic Jones
So is this the kind of thing produced by skinny kids who spend far too much time in their bedrooms? The insert photo of guitarist Aram Bajakian presents us with whatever the opposite of a jock might be, and the music reveals him to be an accomplished guitarist who has happily heeded the advice of Bill ...

Revolutionary Snake Ensemble: Year of the Snake
by AAJ Staff
Two things matter most when it comes to funk: the music has to be fun, and it can't be boring. Apply this filter and a whole lot of mass market dreck drops right out the bottom.

Cartwright suggests the strange presence of warmth through his full and robust tonality; he lassoes a surging bull and purposefully proceeds to lay ...
Anthony Braxton/ Taylor Ho Bynum: Duets (Wesleyan) 2002
by Jerry D'Souza
Anthony Braxton’s duo work has so far been a mixed success. Not all of these recordings have worked, given the attitude and disposition of the players. While improvisation has been the core of these meetings, the specific approach chosen has dictated the outcome. Taylor Ho Bynum is clearly a soul mate, and the one unwritten tune, ...
Kwaku Kwaakye Obeng: Afrijazz
by AAJ Staff
It's a sure sign when you can identify a musician's country of origin a mere twenty seconds into a recording. Especially when the opening consists of only bells and wood blocks! Well, maybe that's not such a big deal here, since interlocking drums (or what Westerners might call percussion) are the signature feature of traditional music ...
