Naftule's Dream: Live In Florence
by AAJ Staff
Okay, you have your clarinet and your accordion. A relative predominance of minor Jewish folk melodies. More than ample foot-stomping beats. But does that make it klezmer? Yes and no. Naftule's Dream has crafted a postmodern deconstruction of klezmer which sneaks in such dominant instruments as the electric guitar and the tuba (!). That makes their ...
The Fully Celebrated Orchestra: Marriage Of Heaven And Earth
by Mark Corroto
...and the disc ends with the energy punk/jazz track “Reconciliation Of Heaven And Earth” and the crowd bursts into frenzied applause. But wait there’s more. The Fully Celebrated Orchestra not only has the energy jazz vibe down; they dig their roots from former ‘punk’ new thing jazzmen, Ornette Coleman and Duke Ellington. ...

Bill Banfield and the B-Magic Orchestra: Jazz Chamber Works
by Jack Bowers
Bill Banfield marshals his compositional ideas from a number of sources including Jazz, hip–hop, blues, soul and other contemporary modes of expression. He wrote the first three selections on Jazz Chamber Works, two of which (“Her Embrace,” “Bill’s Blue”) work fairly well, in spite of a recording venue that sharpens and amplifies orchestral and individual timbres ...
Rodney Oakes: Music for MIDI Trombone
by AAJ Staff
Experimental in the broadest sense of the word, the music on Rodney Oakes' Music for MIDI Trombone ventures into new realms, both technological and artistic. Electronic treatment of the trombone is thus far something of an oddity in music. Oakes takes a broad approach to this challenge, using a pitch-dependent MIDI controller and introducing sparse independently-composed ...
PRISM Quartet: Real Standard Time
by AAJ Staff
The PRISM quartet offers a fresh update to the now long-standing tradition of saxophone quartet playing. The all-saxophone core rarely stands alone on Real Standard Time: instead, they draw upon an indie all-star cast of supporting players to round out their sound. When the group operates at its leanest, much of the material obeys formal arrangement ...

Art Music Ensemble: Look Both Ways
by C. Michael Bailey
Postmodern Musings. A couple of months ago, I reviewed Luciano Berio's complete Sequenzas on Deutsche Gramophone (part of DG's 21st Century Series). I noted there to be a valid comparison between certain Jazz genres (Free Jazz and Avant-garde) and Postmodern Classical Music. David Sherr and his Art Music Ensemble blur the line further with Look Both ...
