Kneebody: Low Electrical Worker
by Ivana Ng
Kneebody's second full-length album starts off with an aggressive dose of jazz and industrial rock on “Poton." Drummer Nate Wood's slow, deliberate rhythm is irresistible, bordering on obnoxious, and tenor saxophonist Ben Wendel's improvising skills are well-suited to the quintet's combination of pop sensibility, jazz meditation and rock ferocity. A wave of sounds--trumpet, effects, Fender Rhodes, ...

by Ivana Ng
As composer/multi-instrumentalist Kali Z. Fasteau wrote in last months's issue of All About Jazz / New York, jazz can “embrace aspects of music from anywhere and everywhere, as can no other music on the planet, in a profound and high-quality synthesis." These three albums combine jazz with the musical traditions, musicians and instruments of ...

by Ivana Ng

The fact that Marcus does not play on the first track sets a certain tone; one keeps expecting ...

In 2003, Lake completed a brief tour of Denmark with tenor saxophonist John Tchicai, drummer Kresten Osgood and bassist Jonas Westergaard. They immediately went into the studio afterwards, the product ...
Theo Croker: The Fundamentals
by Ivana Ng
Theo Croker's The Fundamentals is a meticulous record. In the liner notes, the 21-year-old grandson of Doc Cheatham, who composed and arranged every song, describes many of the tunes in technical terms. This attention to detail--and perhaps also a need for the listener to understand the songs on levels both technical and non-technical--allows the record to ...

Scott Dubois Quintet: Tempest
by Ivana Ng
The Scott Dubois Quintet can be considered an avant-garde band, but its latest record, Tempest, is a testament to just how accessible and captivating “experimental music can be. There are tunes on the album for the more meditative thinker as well as for someone who just wants to enjoy the various moods and tones that the ...
