Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 Undead Jazz FestivalNew York, New YorkJune 23-26, 2011 Sometimes a great idea just begs to be used again. The first performance of Search and Restore's “round-robin style" improvisation cycle last December proved its worth went beyond novelty. ...
Jeff Lederer: Sunwatcher
by Mark Corroto
Sunwatchers is a most auspicious debut by saxophonist Jeff Lederer.

Mike Pride’s From Bacteria to Boys: Betweenwhile
by Mark Corroto
Certainly, any attempt to pigeonhole this drummer is a lesson in failure; priding himself in his diverse interests, whether recording a duet album of free improvisation with Jon Irabagon, on I Don”t Hear Nothin' But The Blues (Loyal Label, 2009), or playing with punk band Millions Of Dead Cops, Mike Pride he has also distinguished himself ...
John Zorn: O'o
by Stuart Broomer
When John Zorn released The Dreamers (Tzadik) in 2008, it might have seemed like a temporary aberration: Zorn the master of the arbitrary (Cobra), the cutting edge (Torture Garden) and the anarchic (too many projects to mention) had embraced the genres of lounge and 1950s exotica to produce music that, perhaps ironically, approached easy listening, building ...

Jon Irabagon with Mike Pride: I Don't Hear Nothin' But The Blues
by Mark Corroto
Without playing “name that tune," it is easy to mistake Jon Irabagon and Mike Pride's one song, 48-minute recording for one by Bill Laswell's Massacre. Same energy, same intensity, and volume, lots of volume. Funny, because this is an acoustic duo between saxophone and drums, while Massacre is a trio of drummer Charles Hayward, ...
