Anthony Braxton / Jerry Hemmingway: Old Dogs
by Mark Corroto
It is very difficult to separate the music of saxophonist Anthony Braxton and percussionist Gerry Hemingway from the actual experience of listening to four-disc, four-plus hour Old Dogs (2007). Each disc represents a morning or afternoon's work, recorded at Wesleyan University in early August, 2007, requiring almost complete immersion--letting go each moment, as it passes. There ...
Marshall Allen / Matthew Shipp / Joe Morris: Night Logic
by John Sharpe
Unlikely combinations sometimes deliver the most enjoyable results.

Oles Brothers with Rob Brown: Live At SJC
by Mark Corroto
It's funny how certain jazz players find other kindred spirits to play with. Where would Ornette Coleman have been if he hadn't found Charlie Haden? Or McCoy Tyner without John Coltrane? Like minds always seem to find and sometimes track down each other. Such is the case with the Polish brothers Marcin Oles (bass) and Bartlomiej ...
