Anthony Braxton: Four Compositions (GTM) 2000
by Jerry D'Souza
Anthony Braxton is an enigma. His music has always been challenging and he has never compromised. Consequently, some of his compositions have been too far serrated or too densely layered. Nevertheless, in the overall scheme of his musicianship he has elevated his concepts to a dazzling level. He nails the latter sensibility here, and it is ...
Thelonious Monk: It's Monk's Time
by Jerry D'Souza
The restoration campaign of the Monk catalog is as welcome as any such endeavor could be. Here is the opening of the doors to the music, the way it was and the way it transpired before it took the shape that first came out on record. Amendments have been made by restoring the edited portions, the ...
Positive Knowledge: Live In New York
by Jerry D'Souza
The performance documented here was recorded at the 2001 Vision Festival, a stage that serves as a window for artists whose persuasion is the expression of free jazz. Sometimes when things are free, there is a price to pay. Does the musician communicate with the listener? Are the impulses strictly personal or do they also have ...
Thelonious Monk: Underground
by Jerry D'Souza
The cover of this album is an interesting one. Was Monk’s sense of humor at work? Whatever the answer, the music that it contains is elevating. This expanded edition expiates the shortcomings of the original release where tunes had to be edited so that they could be contained on an LP. The record features four new ...
Victor Chorobik: Desert of Clouds
by Jerry D'Souza
In its original incarnation the music on this album was the soundtrack to the movie Boundless Light—The People of Tibet. Soundtracks have their appeal, but in most cases it is limited, serving to frame the pictures and the emotion of film. They must have a whole new pulse to succeed outside that ambit. Chorobik’s beautifully crafted ...
Various: Vision Fest
by Jerry D'Souza
The Vision Festival, held annually in New York, brings together some of the most forward thinking performers in jazz. Last year the festival was held mainly at The Center at Old St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral. The performances at this venue make up the music on this CD and the accompanying DVD. There is a lot of ...
The December Thirty Jazz Trio: Free For 3
by Jerry D'Souza
It is said that time and tide wait for no man. Time, however, has waited for this trio. Their first recording, The Street One Year After, was released in 1991. Since then they have released two more, both in the last decade. And now, here they are again with one more. As for the tide, it ...
Leonard/Skrowaczewski/Zappa: Visions
by Jerry D'Souza
Hark gentle reader, and gather around for a lesson in history. The team of Mark Leonard, Nick Skrowaczewski and Stanley Jason Zappa studied under Bill Dixon, played in his band, and recorded on his label after Dixon heard the first five tracks from what would become Visions. Knowing that these five songs were not enough for ...
Bruno R: Ascensio
by Jerry D'Souza
Bruno Råberg’s third album as leader is firmly concerned with form. The bassist has played in bands of different stylistic pursuits, like Orange Then Blue, which threw everything from free form to mainstream jazz into the stewing pot; and with Eje Thelin, whose band swiped the caboodle from dixieland to free jazz. Here Råberg is contained. ...
Bobby Timmons: The Prestige Trio Sessions
by Jerry D'Souza
Some music never dies. It just sleeps for a while and then comes back in reissues. While some of it could well have stayed buried, this merging of two Timmons recordings is well deserving of attention. Timmons made some fine music, soul jazz if you will, the blues deeply shaded for sure. And even if he ...
