Moutin Reunion Quartet: Something Like Now
by Ken Franckling
France's twin brother jazz combination, bassist François and drummer Louis Moutin, have just released their third Moutin Reunion Quartet recording in six years since the unit was formed as a showcase for their swinging, original compositions. It's another bop-rooted contemporary odyssey that is delightful in its scope and focus. The band is rounded out by pianist ...
Dave Liebman & Phil Markowitz: Manhattan Dialogues
by Andrew Velez
The opener on Manhattan Dialogues, most of which is composed by David Liebman, is his own Teacher of Our Child. It's a comfortably melancholy rumination, yet more suggestive of the early hours of a morning after than of a kindergarten. By contrast, 7 only fleetingly lands on traditional melodic structure. Here Liebman (soprano and tenor saxophone) ...
Pharoah Sanders: Pharoah's First
by Clifford Allen
Pharoah Sanders Pharoah's First ESP-Disk 2005 (1964) Hindsight can work wonders on the perception of a jazz musician's career, which makes it an exceptionally valuable tool to look at that artist's early recordings. Through the historian's lens, we can find snippets of what is to come in that first solo, ...
Dizzy Gillespie: Town Hall, New York City; Dizzy
by Ernest Barteldes
Dizzy Gillespie/Charlie Parker Town Hall, New York... Uptown Jazz 2005 On a new release on Uptown Records, we hear a long-lost recording made at the Manhattan music hall 60 years ago. The digital transfer is mostly untouched, so as a result some of the crack and hiss ...
Eric Dolphy: Iron Man / Live at the Five Spot, Vol.1; Nathan Davis: The Other Side of Morning
by Clifford Allen
In many ways, the fence-line between avant-garde and mainstream jazz was towed by Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy, two reedmen whose influence crossed as many boundaries as Coltrane and who might be said to be among the true leaders of the front-line soldiers, paving the way for aspects of a sonic revolution that, ubiquitous as it ...
Richie Hart: Greasy Street
by David Miller
Richie Hart isn't breaking down any barriers with his music. If you're looking for intellectual listening, Greasy Street isn't the record for you. That said, I loved it. Hart and his compatriots (Rick Petrone, Joe Corsello, Clifton Anderson, Pete Levin, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Jerry Weldon) have created a blues-inflected whale of a good time.
Sarah DeLeo: The Nearness of You
by Michael P. Gladstone
Jazz vocalist Sarah DeLeo's debut album is bookended by two bossa nova treatments from the Great American Songbook: the Shapiro/Campbell piece If I Had You" and Cole Porter's So In Love." The most notable aspect of DeLeo's style is the Peggy Lee vibe that she often summons up in her delivery of these songs. Over the ...
Richie Hart: Greasy Street
by Michael P. Gladstone
Guitarist Richie Hart wisely works the intersection of two thoroughfares. I'm referring to the aptly titled Greasy Street as well as the more mainstream, and less funkified, Easy Street for the purposes of this album. Like last season's Blues in the Alley, Hart and his trio with bassist Rick Petrone and drummer Joe Corsello ...
Hilary Noble & Rebecca Cline: Enclave
by Norman Weinstein
Hilary Noble is a horn-playing percussionist who has been mining a synthesis of free jazz and Latin music that is profoundly fresh and emotionally overwhelming. This, his second release, finds him exquisitely matched with pianist Rebecca Cline, who likewise shares his noble pursuit of a unique amalgam of experimental jazz and Latin music. Backed by the ...
Bob Rodriguez: Corridor
by Jim Santella
On this dreamy trio session, pianist Bob Rodriguez interprets a set of originals and several standards. His cascading keyboard melodies and gently flowing snippets of poetic charm give the listener a quiet storm of relaxed pleasure. The acoustic setting provides a natural texture, while each improvised phrase overlaps like the wind and the rain outside.
