Jane Ira Bloom: Wild Lines: Improvising Emily Dickinson
by Troy Dostert
When you think about it, it's not that hard to see the affinity between soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom and Emily Dickinson. Despite their fame coming from two different artistic worlds (although not completely different, as it turns out, as Dickinson was apparently a talented pianist), they do have a good deal in common. Bloom is ...
Jazz Weekly And Scott Yanow Review Tony Adamo's Rain Man "Make It Rain Love My Way"
I usually don’t review singles, but Tony Adamo is just so good to the bones that nothing he does can be ignored. Here, he teams up with Tower of Power keyboardist Roger Smith and with a team that is so loose that you have to get regular treatments from a chiropractor to dance to it. Adamo ...
Dial & Oatts, Rich DeRosa, and the WDR Big Band: Rediscovered Ellington
by Troy Dostert
Pianist Garry Dial and saxophonist Dick Oatts have teamed up frequently in recent years as “Dial and Oatts," on some occasions to record their own material (Dial and Oatts, 1990) and on others to breathe new life into classic jazz repertoire (Dial and Oatts Play Cole Porter, 1993). Their latest, Rediscovered Ellington, is of course an ...
Denny Zeitlin & George Marsh: Expedition
by Dan Bilawsky
While fear often paints the idea of spontaneous creation as a sea of uncertainty, openness tend to shape it as an ocean of possibility. The difference all comes down to how you look at it and the way you choose to operate. To exist in the latter mindset, and boldly travel to new and unknown realms ...
Jason Kao Hwang: Sing House
by Karl Ackermann
From the earliest part of his solo career, violinist and composer Jason Kao Hwang has employed an eclectic blend of Western and Eastern influences. His recording roots were no less wide-ranging, beginning with Anthony Braxton's Sextet (Istanbul) (Braxton House, 1995), even if the influences were harder to pin down. Hwang later recorded with William Parker and ...
Dave Stryker: Strykin’ Ahead
by Mark Sullivan
After a series of albums organized around a theme--Messin' With Mr. T (Strikezone Records, 2015) was dedicated to his former employer, saxophonist Stanley Turrentine; Eight Track II (Strikezone Records, 2016) revisited classic '70s pop tunes--guitarist Dave Stryker returns to his long-standing practice of presenting a program of originals and jazz standards. The band is the same ...
Oliver Lake: Right Up On
by Troy Dostert
Although he will always be known first and foremost as an uncompromising saxophonist who helped catalyze the jazz avant- garde from the 1970s onward, it's also worth recognizing Oliver Lake's ambition as a composer. He has a particular fondness for strings in this regard, actually, as he has composed extensively for string quartets for over twenty ...
Jason Kao Hwang: Sing House
by Troy Dostert
Violinist/violist and composer Jason Kao Hwang has explored the intersections of avant-garde jazz and classical music for some time, and his commitment to drawing inspiration from the well of Asian musical idioms gives his pieces much of their distinctive character. Here he's working once again with bassist Ken Filiano and drummer Andrew Drury, longstanding partners from ...
Gregory Lewis: Organ Monk, The Breathe Suite
by Jerome Wilson
Gregory Lewis aka Organ Monk, is an organ player with a uniquely grandiose and dramatic style that owes as much to a prog rock icon like Keith Emerson as to a Jimmy Smith. That was clear enough on his previous recording, American Standard where he played a selection of familiar pop standards. It's even more evident ...
