Russ Gershon: Time Traveler, Four Million Years Later

Read "Russ Gershon: Time Traveler, Four Million Years Later" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Twenty-five years is a long time in jazz. When saxophonist/composer/bandleader Russ Gershon founded the Either/Orchestra back in 1985, trumpeter Miles Davis was on the crest of his jazz/funk comeback wave, and the so-called Young Lions movement fronted by trumpeter Wynton Marsalis was coming into prominence, just as Weather Report--the last of the great '70s fusion bands--was ...

James Blood Ulmer - In and out (in and Out)

James Blood Ulmer - In and out (in and Out)

A rare case of record title matching record label, James Blood Ulmer's latest carries that parity over to the music by not tinkering much with the successful strategy of past outings. Fronting a trio session, Ulmer's guitar positions up front with athletic support from bassist Mark Peterson and drummer Aubrey Dayle in close proximity. Peterson plucks ...

James Blood Ulmer: In And Out

Read "In And Out" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


The title of this record is simultaneously a tip of the hat toward the record label which released it and an appropriate explanation of the music contained within. James Blood Ulmer's sound resides at the crossroads where Jimi Hendrix's blues-rock collides with Ornette Coleman's music; where gutsy blues songs meet the avant-garde. His voice bears some ...

Nelson Veras: Solo Session Vol. 1

Read "Solo Session Vol. 1" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson


Guitarist Nelson Veras's considerable sideman experience has favored the acoustic instrument--a highlight is his mild-mannered straight man to Manu Codjia's volatile electric guitar on Christophe Wallemme's fine large-ensemble Namaste (Bee Jazz, 2006).The relationship between Veras's playing and classic Brazilian guitar--Hélio Delmiro, João Gilberto, Bola Sete--is like that between James Blood Ulmer's playing and the ...

Read "Into the Fire: Winter Jazzfest 2010" reviewed by Gordon Marshall


Winter Jazzfest New York, New York January 8-9, 2010 Fast-forward 30 years from the days in the late 1970s and early '80s when the world-weary wisdom that jazz wasn't a living force anymore was whispered to us--maybe you are getting out of jail, maybe waking from a cryogenic sleep. Before this happened, ...

James Blood Ulmer: In and Out

Read "In and Out" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Per questo ottimo album registrato in Germania nell'agosto del 2008 il chitarrista americano James Blood Ulmer sceglie la formula del power trio cara a Jimi Hendrix: chitarra, basso e batteria. Semplice, diretta, lineare. Difficile sbagliare, facile cadere nella routine. Ma questo pericolo viene scansato abilmente dalla vena creativa del sessantasettenne musicista che ha percorso un tracciato ...
