On June 7, Downbeat Magazine's electronic keyboards Rising Star" Craig Taborn will celebrate the American release of his first solo piano recording, Avenging Angel, on ECM. Totally acoustic and totally improvised, Avenging Angel may surprise those Taborn followers who are most familiar with his electronic wizardry and dual-keyboard gymnastics with such leaders as Tim Berne, Chris ...
A Dogged Performance by a True Pro
It would have been disappointing if Eric Alexander had canceled his performance at the Artists Quarter last night. Disappointing, but perfectly understandable. In town for his almost annual Memorial Day Weekend 3-night stand, Eric was jogging in Lilydale Park when a lunging rotweiler (on a leash, no less) grabbed his left hand and wouldn't let go. ...

Twin Cities Jazz Week in Review - May 20-26
For lovers of modern jazz, there was no better weekend than May 20-21. Unless of course you wanted to get to it all, in which case it might have been a very frustrating weekend. In retrospect, I could have done it all... if only I knew in advance how brief one round of graduation would be. ...
Rite of Spring, Left of Center: The Bad Plus at the Loring
One of the hallmarks of the Bad Plus is the equity of their long-standing collaboration. But the fact that there isn't one star among the trio hardly means these musicians lack star power. Rather, it's the merging of the three audacious talents that yields a supernova. And that galactic phenomenon never shined more brightly than in ...
Twin Cities Jazz - Week in Review, May 13-19
Seldom is a weekend as jazz-packed as last weekend. But next weekend looks just as jazzy! My personal highlights for the past week: Guy Klucevsek and Zeitgeist at Studio Z (5/13). Klucevsek starred as both composer and accordionist, from tango to fugue to blues, from tributes to Satie and Ligeti to remembrance of 911. (See blog) ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, May 20-26
This weekend alone offers dizzying choices in live jazz, and some tough choices must be made! But surely everyone can find music! (See Twin Cities Jazz Week in Review for my highlights of the past week, on this blog.)

Orchestra in a Box + 4
Zeitgeist dubbed its collaboration with accordionist Guy Klucevsek as Hammers, Horns Skins and Squeezeboxes," but they might have added mallets, toys and cafeteria boxes" to acknowledge the full arsenal. Playing to full houses for three consecutive nights at Studio Z, the four Zs (percussionists Heather Barringer and Patti Cudd; multi-reedist Pat O'Keefe; pianist Shannon Wettstein) perfectly ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, May 13-19
The next two weekends are just impossibleif you want to get to every big jazz gig. I hope this just brings everyone out rather than spread the audience too thinly! But no doubt, the Twin Cities has one of the most vibrant jazz scenes in the country! Highlights, Last Week Rhonda Laurie, Happy Days Are Here ...
Bryan Nichols Inhabits "Bright Places"
Bryan Nichols brings a lot to the Twin Cities jazz scene, as a pianist, a composer and an educator. What the world may have lost in a potential genetics researcher (his undergraduate major at Iowa State) has been easily compensated in our gain of artistic vision. A Twin Cities native, Bryan spent a few years honing ...
