Take Five With Christian Grimshei
by AAJ Staff
Meet Christian Grimshei: I started out as a techno DJ in the '90s. I worked on several projects with Erik Hillestad from Kirkelig Kulturverksted (KKV) in Norway, including Acid Queen: Tranzania (1997). Then I got very sick and didn't make music for 10 years. I studied the history of music during this time. I ...

SuperJazzers: SuperJazzers: Vol. 1
by Doron Orenstein
A scenic and vibrant city nestled in a landscape of lush scenery, Portland, Oregon is not exactly known for its jazz scene. However, Superjazzers' Vol. 1 represents the city with a depth and refinement normally associated with the jazz greats in New York, as well as other major jazz towns. Although group name ...
Amina Alaoui: Arco Iris
by John Kelman
Following her outstanding performance with the cross-cultural, century-spanning ensemble of Norwegian keyboardist/composer Jon Balke's Siwan (ECM, 2009), it's no surprise that the German label has tapped into the Moroccan singer for an album of her own. But as sprawling and ambitious as Siwan was, Arco Iris is, while being no less dramatic, on a much smaller ...

by John Kelman
2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 It may be true, at least most of the time, that familiarity breeds, if not exactly contempt, then certainly complacency; but that simply doesn't apply if subject is Norway--and, in particular, its disproportionately large and vibrant music scene. Suffering from an epidemic that most folks would ...

Jazzahead 2011: April 28 - May 1, 2011
by John Kelman
Jazzahead Bremen, Germany April 28-May 1, 2010 Jazz may be a marginalized genre with shrinking CD sales and, at least in North America, a painfully low profile in popular media, but just a few days at Jazzahead in Bremen, Germany, leave a much different impression. A trade show for all ...
Trilok Gurtu: Stirring the Big Old Pot
by Ian Patterson
There is a popular theory of mathematical probability, that if you put a typewriter in front of a monkey, it will, through a process of trial and error, eventually produce a play of William Shakespeare. Swayed by the same sweeping logic, others believe that if you put a trap kit and assorted percussive instruments in front ...
Bill Frisell: The ECM Years
by John Kelman
Nothing trumps right place, right time. Sure, most artists pay plenty of dues-- sometimes in the public eye, oftentimes not--but for some, there's that serendipitous event that leads to greater visibility.
