Joe McPhee / Michael Zerang: Creole Gardens (A New Orleans Suite)
by John Sharpe
In these recessionary times, the duet offers the optimum solution: the opportunity for dialogue and interaction, but with logistics and expense kept to a minimum. Of course, such strictures are nothing new for the avant-garde, those flowers which bloom between the cracks in the marginal wastelands. Multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee's résumé includes more than its fair share ...

Akira Sakata and the Ghost of Albert Ayler
by Mark Corroto
For so very long, since Albert Ayler's death in 1970, the faithful have been, to paraphrase Bruce Springsteen, “hiding 'neath their covers, studying their pain...wasting their summers, praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets."And for the last 40 years, Japanese saxophonist Akira Sakata has been a hero, and that's understood. ...
Steve Dalachinsky: Weaving Poetry with Jazz
by Florence Wetzel
Poet Steve Dalachinsky occupies a unique place in the jazz firmament. Actually, he occupies several places: he writes poetry inspired by jazz, he performs and records with jazz musicians and he has supplied liner notes for numerous artists including multi-intrumentalist Anthony Braxton, drummer Rashied Ali and pianist Matthew Shipp. Dalachinsky is an avid supporter of the ...
Joe McPhee: A Band Apart
by Clifford Allen
You might expect a musician who has been a steady figure on the creative improvising scene for nearly 45 years to have some variance in their discography and a diverse range of projects and band concepts. Reedman (and sometime pocket trumpeter) Joe McPhee's vast number of recordings and ensembles speak to that impulse, but the curious ...

For his second solo release, Some Other Zongs, he sticks solely to the finicky and often blunt baritone saxophone--an instrument which, in the hands ...
