Bill Dixon: The Morality of Improvisation
by Clifford Allen
Followers of improvised music are very good at expanding on the personalities of artists, and that oral tradition has certainly been aided by the musicians through a sort of 'educational mythology.' To be sure, the personalities of Miles, Trane, Cecil, Mingus and Ornette are fascinating and notable, but this interest in the men and their whims ...
Rez Abbasi: Snake Charmer
by Woodrow Wilkins
A native of India who migrated to Los Angeles and later New York, Rez Abbasi marries elements from both sides of the world on Snake Charmer, the guitarist's fourth album as a bandleader. He's accompanied by a small ensemble: Gary Versace on organ, Danny Weiss on drums and tabla, Dave Liebman on soprano saxophone, and Kiran ...
Drew Gress: Where My Ear Leads Me
by Paul Olson
WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=270>Bassist Drew Gress isn't the busiest bassist ever ("I don't think so, man. What about Ron Carter?, he asked me), but he's probably playing somewhere tonight. He's played as a sideman with Don Byron, Tim Berne, Marc Copland, John Hollenbeck and Uri Caine. But his three albums under his own name--Heyday (Soul Note, 1998), ...
Drew Gress: 7 Black Butterflies
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Bassist Drew Gress consistently delivers, whether he's playing straight-ahead or outwardly adventurous music. He maintains a vigorous touring and recording schedule with a swath of the jazz community. Though creatively challenging, this approach has limited the time he has to develop his own music. With 7 Black Butterflies, his third CD as a leader, Gress makes ...
Roy Campbell 101: From Where He Came
by Jason Byrne - Red Cat Publicity
We're just about midway through 2005 and NYC-based trumpeter Roy Campbell has already toured Europe with The Nu Band; performed at the Tel Aviv Jazz Festival with his Pyramid Trio, featuring his musical brother, bassist William Parker; and toured Europe yet again with guitarist Marc Ribot's Spiritual Unity Band. Plus, he's played a host of gigs ...
Carnival & Strange Fruit
by Ken Franckling
The New Orleans trumpet lineage keeps getting longer and in some ways, stronger. What started with Buddy Bolden and Louis Armstrong has in more recent decades brought us the likes of Wendell Brunious, Wynton Marsalis, Nicholas Payton, Leon “Kid Chocolate Brown and Irvin Mayfield. Los Hombres Calientes Carnival Basin Street Records
Avishai Cohen Trio & Ensemble: At Home
by Terrell Kent Holmes
The title of bassist Avishai Cohen's latest CD, At Home, is a double entendre. Given the diverse geographical titles and styles of the songs, it's clear that Cohen wants to convey the notion that he's at home everywhere, musically and geographically. The core of the work centers on his trio, but it also includes a fine ...
April 2005
by AAJ Staff
Over the course of six nights, the “JazzItaliano in New York" festival brought seldom-seen faces to a number of New York bandstands. At Smoke (Mar. 4th), alto and soprano saxophonist Rosario Giuliani teamed with pianist Pietro Lussu, bassist Gianluca Renzi and drummer Marcello Di Leonardo and made a huge sound, playing music from 2002's Mr. Dodo ...
Avishai Cohen: At Home
by Paul Olson
Israeli bassist/composer Avishai Cohen is perhaps best known for playing with Chick Corea, but he was never destined to be a sideman; his songwriting and arranging skills are too developed. On At Home--his first release since 2003's Lyla--Cohen demonstrates that his writing and arranging are as imaginative and wide-ranging as his bass playing is virtuosic.
Rez Abbasi: Snake Charmer
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
With Snake Charmer, his fourth CD as a leader, guitarist Rez Abbasi overtly draws on his Indian subcontinent heritage. Beneath this conspicuous exterior is a rhythmically charged guitar-organ-drum trio. This was palpable within minutes at the group's CD release party at Joe's Pub, when Abbasi, along with organist Gary Versace, and drummer Danny Weiss, locked into ...
