Conrad Herwig: The Latin Side of Wayne Shorter
by Jeff Stockton
Luis Perdomo is the regular pianist in Conrad Herwig's septet. He delivers a sterling, elegant solo on “Ping Pong," the opening cut on The Latin Side of Wayne Shorter, recorded live at the Blue Note in New York. He anchors the first five songs with such skill that at the end of “This Is for Albert," ...
Various Artists: Miles From India
by Jeff Stockton
Miles Davis' electric period is his most controversial among critics and most divisive among listeners. Since Sony started reissuing complete session box sets (2001's In a Silent Way, 1998's Bitches Brew, 2003's Jack Johnson), however, reassessment and reconsideration have helped to broaden the respect and enjoyment of the originals. By the time of 2007's Complete On ...

Oliver Lake: Zaki
by Jeff Stockton
Jazz music continually tries to outpace the long shadow cast by its past. On the one hand, it's the music of the vanguard, an art form built on a spirit of risk-taking and experimentation. On the other, the progressive spirit started with Charlie Parker and extended by Ornette Coleman (and several others) seemed to have stopped ...
Lou Donaldson: Lush Life
by Jeff Stockton
Lou Donaldson's Lush Life is the sort of mysterious lost session that inexplicably fell through the cracks from time to time at Blue Note Records during their wildly productive 1960s and the sort of collectable that used to make vinyl hawks salivate. This January 1967 session, unreleased until 1980 when it debuted in Japan under a ...
Adam Rudolph's Moving Pictures: Dream Garden
by Jeff Stockton
They used to say that everyone who bought the first Velvet Underground record must have started a band. In time, we may come to realize that every jazz musician who moved into the area of World Music first caught the bug from Don Cherry's Mu, Brown Rice, or any of the other number of globally-minded records ...
McCoy Tyner: Quartet
by Jeff Stockton
It seems grossly unfair that the debonair, elegant elder statesman on the cover of Quartet, a document of the concerts McCoy Tyner and his band gave on Dec. 30th-31st, 2006 at Yoshi's in Oakland, would still be trying to live up to the reputation for excellence he established with the John Coltrane Quartet some forty-plus years ...
Rempis Percussion Quartet: Hunter-Gatherers
by Jeff Stockton
The Chicago Reader has called the Rempis Percussion Quartet “the best live band in town, which could very well be true, as long as the Vandermark 5 is away. Of course, the two bands share a drummer (Tim Daisy) and saxophonist Dave Rempis (here on alto, tenor and baritone) who, in the last few years, has ...
