Andy Middleton: Reinventing the World

by Michael P. Gladstone
Based upon the packaging, I suspected that this disc would contain avant-garde or at the very least cutting-edge, Knitting Factory-type jazz. There are no liner notes, just photos of the personnel and trumpeter Kenny Wheeler's name staring me in the face. Well, my guess couldn't be further from the truth. Reinventing the World is a well-thought-out, ...
Andy Middleton: Reinventing the World

by Dan McClenaghan
Reedman Andy Middleton's Reinventing the World could be a companion piece to another theme" CD released earlier this year, pianist Mike Holober's Canyon (Sons of Sound, 2002), which celebrated the composer's love of canyoneering, hiking, and the outdoor experience with a set of finely crafted and highly melodic originals. Reinventing the World, with a broader palette ...

Recorded nearly three years ago in Cologne, Germany, this session features a group of modern mainstream jazz artists who’ve got their eyes set on the future.

Vital Information: Show 'Em Where You Live

by Glenn Astarita

The keyword here is groove, as these stylists (and frequent poll winners) align their wares for a group sound that has become easily identifiable! A ...
