AllAboutJazz-New York December 2009 Issue Now Available!
Of the many laudable qualities of jazz, possibly its most notable is a courage to explore boundaries. Born out of its original free spirit and now supported by a knowledgeable (if lamentably small) fan base, modern jazz musicians can inhabit multiple sub-genres and flavor their work with a number of outside influences, all without being explicitly ...
The State of ECM Records 2009: Steve Kuhn, Jan Garbarek and Thomas Zehetmair
by C. Michael Bailey
Its 40th anniversary year, 2009, has been a good one for Manfred Eicher's Edition of Contemporary Music Company. ECM was selected the Best Classical Label by Gramophone magazine. If that wasn't enough, ECM was selected Jazz Label of the Year and Manfred Eicher, Producer of the Year by Downbeat magazine. No record label since the Blue ...

Let's Party: Anthony Wilson Trio, Joel Frahm & Bruce Katz, James Carter et al.
by J Hunter
Just because summer is long gone doesn't mean the other three seasons have to be a marathon of dreariness. The calendar's got plenty of reasons to party--Christmas, New Year's Eve, or (for college students) the odd Tuesday that needs freshening up. It's only logical that parties need party music, so here are three “musical guests," all ...
ECM at 40: Enjoy Jazz Festival: Days 3-6, October 22-25, 2009
by John Kelman
Days 1-2 | Day 3-6 | Days 7-10 | Days 11-12 ECM at 40. It's hard to believe that a record label responsible for stretching the boundaries of modern music has survived the various crises that have threatened and, in some cases, decimated so many others. With Enjoy Jazz's “The Blue Sound: 40 Years ...
John Abercrombie: Wait Till You See Her
by Francis Lo Kee
John Abercrombie = 3242, whose history with ECM stretches back to the early '70s, now releases his fourth CD with the same quartet of violinist Mark Feldman and drummer Joey Baron, newcomer Thomas Morgan replacing previous bassist Marc Johnson. Though there are rambunctious moments, Abercrombie chooses to open with “Sad Song," a somewhat misleading title. The ...

by Mark Corroto
John Zorn is not one to rest on his laurels. It is probably not possible for Zorn to rest, period. With The Crucible, the fourth installment of his Moonchild band, the saxophonist/composer delivers a recording that will be attractive to both hardcore metal and jazz fans. Twenty years ago Zorn unleashed his band Naked ...

Bill Frisell: Solos and Films of Buster Keaton
by John Kelman
In a career which is in 2009 entering its fourth decade in the public eye, guitarist Bill Frisell has fashioned a trajectory like no other. As comfortable playing Hank Williams country tunes as he is a Ron Carter blues, the guitarist has created such a distinctive sound that, even when he's playing a plain old G ...
John Abercrombie Quartet: Wait Till You See Her
by John Kelman
The beauty of working with the same people long-term is it's possible to evolve a cohesive ensemble sound, while still retaining its singular group voice. Guitarist John Abercrombie has been working with violinist Mark Feldman since Open Land (ECM, 1999), but it was when he recruited bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Joey Baron for Cat 'n' ...
