Ellery Eskelin: Ten

Read "Ten" reviewed by Shawn McGrew


This article was originally published under our Call and Response column. It's curious that both Andrea Parkins and Jim Black's names are absent from the front cover of Ten. This marks the tenth year the band has been together and both long-time associates do participate on this project. Despite functioning as the leader, Eskelin's ...

Jim Black/Alasnoaxis: Habyor

Read "Habyor" reviewed by John Kelman


Drummer Jim Black reconvenes his Alasnoaxis band for its third outing on the Winter & Winter label, this time delving even further into song form than on the first two releases.

And while Black and associates render comparable regions of sound, they have seemingly cultured their overall approach with this new release. To that end, the musicians convey more of a “group” based vibe – partly due to less experimentation ...

Jim Black: Alasnoaxis

Read "Alasnoaxis" reviewed by Derek Taylor


Jim Black is best known as one of the three points of the Ellery Eskelin 3, a go-for-broke free jazz triangle that routinely incorporates any and all ideas improvisational ideas into an unpredictable and highly versatile amalgam. Three consistently excellent releases on Hatology have more than measured the group’s mettle, but as anyone who has appreciated ...
