Jeff Sipe Trio: Jeff Sipe Trio featuring Mike Seal and Taylor Lee
by Mark Sullivan
Drummer Jeff Sipe was a member of Colonel Bruce Hampton's Aquarium Rescue Unit and has played with many other musicians. But probably his most visible association was the power trio with Jonas Hellborg and Shawn Lane, followed by a more recent trio with guitarist Alex Machacek. So he is clearly very comfortable in an improvising rock/jazz ...

Angelo Hart: Intrepid
by Karl Ackermann
Pianist and composer Angelo Hart describes the music on his debut album Intrepid as an amalgam of avant-garde jazz, classicism, modernism and impressionism. Throw in the occasional touches of free jazz and the description is accurate--though daunting on paper--and fairly successful upon listening. The Phoenix, Arizona native cites John Coltrane as an early influence but his ...
Vijay Iyer Trio: Break Stuff
by Karl Ackermann
From the time of his debut as a leader nearly twenty years ago on Architextures (Asian Improv Records, 1996), pianist and composer Vijay Iyer has been a great experimenter. The Albany, New York native successfully utilized duplicated patterns and phrasing in a variety of settings from solo piano to ensembles. Advanced as his earlier techniques were, ...
A guitar master's take on jazz - It's about much so more than the music
Guitarist Pat Martino quickly set the tone with a blistering revisit of the boppish “Lean Years" at his concert Wednesday, February 4 with the Naples Philharmonic Jazz Orchestra. “Lean Years," which first appeared on Martino's 1967 Prestige album Strings!, remains one of his signature tunes. The program also included two other Martino originals ("Inside Out" and ...

PRISM Quartet: Heritage/Evolution, Volume 1
by Karl Ackermann
Not quite as well-known as the World Saxophone Quartet or the Rova Saxophone Quartet, the PRISM Quartet practices a unique approach to this category of ensemble playing. In part, PRISM takes a more direct aim on improvisation as opposed to the more blended method of WSQ or the openly free style of Rova. More idiosyncratic is ...
