Joe McPhee / Jamie Saft / Joe Morris / Charles Downs: Ticonderoga

by Glenn Astarita
Experimental jazz, largely framed on wide-ranging improvisational tactics, inhabits a tightknit if not cloistered community, partially by default due to its avant-garde underpinnings.

Moreover, the band moniker Ticonderoga is a Mohawk ...

Today's jazz snob may quote the motto of the rock band Jane's Addiction and tell you “nothing's shocking." And that may be true. That is, if one's ears are not open ...
Rodrigo Amado: This Is Our Language
by John Sharpe
The title of Portuguese saxophonist Rodrigo Amado's latest offering pays unmistakable homage to the late Ornette Coleman. This Is Our Music (Atlantic, 1961) constituted one of Ornette's uncompromising early manifestos, while In All Languages (Caravan of Dreams, 1987) served to reveal both the differences and the similarities between his classic quartet and the electric Prime Time ...
