Joe McPhee: Soprano

Read "Soprano" reviewed by Lyn Horton


Sometimes, the best way to grasp of the power of an instrument is to hear it in a solo context without other instruments impacting its singularity. It matters if the musician playing the instrument is so engaged in knowing and feeling the instrument's range that the resulting sound emanates seemingly without effort. The music has originated ...

Joe McPhee / Peter Br: Guts

Read "Guts" reviewed by Lyn Horton


When people die for what they believe in, their actions speak louder than words. At least for a moment. Repeat performances of their deaths are impossible. So it is up to those who survive them to revitalize the symbolism of their deaths. Creative people do this well in the form of a tribute, for they are ...

Joe McPhee: Collaborator

Read "Joe McPhee: Collaborator" reviewed by Robert Iannapollo


From the beginning, multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee has had a tendency to go against the grain and more often than not, has recorded in non-standard jazz group formations. It's clear that he must view this as one essential way of continually reinvigorating his art. Additionally, he has always seemed game for new and unexpected musical partnerships. These ...

Joe McPhee & Survival Unit II with Clifford Thornton: N.Y.N.Y. 1971

Furono proprio l'incontro con McPhee e l'ascolto dei nastri di questo concerto che nel 1974 convinsero Werner X. Uehlinger ad intraprendere l'attività di produttore discografico. Ed infatti la maggior parte degli LP pubblicati dalla Hat Hut negli anni Settanta erano tesi alla documentazione sistematica, quasi maniacale, della musica del polistrumentista americano.
