Ellery Eskelin: Ten

by Shawn McGrew
December 22, 2004

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

by John Kelman
August 3, 2004

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.

by AAJ Staff
August 3, 2004

Listeners familiar with drummer Jim Black's work alongside Ellery Eskelin, Tim Berne, and Dave Douglas were surprised by his solo debut, AlasNoAxis , back in 2000.

by Glenn Astarita
July 3, 2002

This outing marks the follow up to drummer Jim Black’s well-received debut solo effort, Alas, No Axis.

To that end, the musicians convey more of a “group” based vibe – partly due to less experimentation ...

Jim Black: Alasnoaxis

by Derek Taylor
January 1, 2001

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 ...
