Differential Equations: Jeff Platz / Kit Demos / Fabio Delvo / John McLellan
by Dave Wayne
Those drawn to free improvised music can attest to the appeal of the style: the constant flow of ideas and the crackling energy of instantaneous musical interactions. When an improvising band is “on," you know it. What you're hearing is the sound of others listening intently and responding in the moment. Heavily dependent on group chemistry, ...
Taylor Ho Bynum: Navigation (Possible Abstracts XII & XIII)
by Mark Corroto
If Duke Ellington and Anthony Braxton were able to mix their DNA and reproduce themselves, the cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum would certainly be their scion. The best example of this Ellington/Braxton spawn is the latest recordings by Bynum's Sextet: the simultaneous release of an LP with digital download of the live date Navigation (Possible Abstracts X ...

Klare / Platz / Kneer / Elgart: Modern Primitive
by Dave Wayne
Steeped in various aspects of jazz tradition as much as it is on the cutting edge, the sonic territory covered by Modern Primitive is vast, to say the least. The music here, all freely improvised, has a warmth and immediacy that comes from intense, shared listening. Though there are no tunes or changes per se, that ...
Aych (Jim Hobbs - Mary Halvorson - Taylor Ho Bynum): As the Crow Flies
by AAJ Italy Staff
I “braxtoniani" Ho Bynum e Halvorson con il bostoniano Hobbs mostrano davvero una bella prospettiva sulla musica improvvisata e forse anche sul jazz, a dispetto di una registrazione casereccia e ruspante che sembra però in perfetta linea con lo spirito di questa musica, lontano da ogni tentazione celebrativa e autocelebrativa. I brani si potrebbero dividere in ...
Matthew Shipp: Shipp Shape
by Chris Rich
Pianist Matthew Shipp is very keenly attuned to the details and nuances of what has to be the most forlorn and anemic environment imaginable for anything a sensible person would call business. Think of it as the sort of business ecosystem that resembles the least habitable places on earth, say a fumarole at the bottom of ...

AYCH / Jim Hobbs / Mary Halvorson / Taylor Ho Bynum: As The Crow Flies
by Glenn Astarita
Three prominent modern-era improvisers offer a lesson in stark contrasts on this session, containing semi-structured and composed works. The artists construct off-center balladry, angst, and playful, cartoon-like soundscapes, amid a few doomsday scenarios dispersed throughout the jaggedly moving parts. Alto saxophonist Jim Hobbs' “Over Yonder" stands out, because it would have seemed highly unlikely ...
AYCH / Jim Hobbs / Mary Halvorson / Taylor Ho Bynum: As The Crow Flies
by Mark Corroto
Improvising confederates agree to collaborate to create music out of thin air, right? Well, yes. Except when they don't. AYCH features three of the finest improvisers working today: saxophonist Jim Hobbs; guitarist Mary Halvorson; and cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum. All three come with stellar pedigrees and experience in guitarist/bassist Joe Morris' ensembles, plus Halvorson ...
Outpost 186 March Highlights: Jacob William
Jacob William returns his Para Quintet to Outpost 186 on Saturday March 24th after an interlude of gigs in other dubious roosts. Now that he is once more in the cozier confines of the Outpost, free of the concerns attending tavern work, he'll shine at his usual level of dazzle with his astute and earnest compadres. ...
