My Conversation with Anthony Braxton
by AAJ Staff
This article first appeared on All About Jazz in September 2001. In Puccini's Tosca, the lead heroine sings “Vissi d'arte" in the second act. It is with passion and anguish then that the audience understands the opera singer Floria Tosca is asking the heavens why she has suffered so much for her art when ...
Joan Hutton / Sue Orfield: Splash
by Jerome Wilson
Alto saxophonist Joan Hutton and tenor saxophonist Sue Orfield co-lead a quintet out of the US Midwest called Take That Back. The band's distinctive sound rises out of the rich dialogue between their two leaders. They flow, stomp and roll through a program of mostly original music with high spirits and style. “Splash" and ...
Una gemma Soft Machine per il quarantennale Cuneiform
by Mario Calvitti
Non sono molte le etichette indipendenti che possono permettersi di festeggiare il quarantesimo anniversario dalla loro fondazione; ancora meno quelle che possono parimenti fregiarsi di un catalogo di tutto rispetto, ricco di artisti e opere di livello assoluto. È questo il caso della Cuneiform Records, con sede a Silver Spring nel Maryland fondata nel 1984 da ...
My Conversation with Steve Coleman
by AAJ Staff
This article first appeared at All About Jazz in July 1999. The pressure to succeed in music is so heavy, the monkey on artists' backs must feel like King Kong. With so many fearing the guillotine of inconsequentiality, it is no wonder artists feel the inherent need to dress in see-through chain mail to ...
Geof Bradfield: Colossal Abundance
by Dan Bilawsky
In the summer of 2023, saxophonist Geof Bradfield and trumpeter Chad McCullough launched Calligram Records--a label focusing on the Chicago creative music scene and its branches. The first batch of albums was strong, with showcases for each of the label heads' respective combo projects, trumpeter Russ Johnson's chordless quartet, and newcomer tenorist Arman Sangalang. A wide ...
Greg Reitan: Bounding Line
by Dan McClenaghan
Los Angeles-based pianist/composer Greg Reitan jumped into the scene with an elegant splash in 2009 with his debut recording, Some Other Time (Sunnyside Records). He followed this up in 2010 with Antibes (Sunnyside Records). Both recordings were critically lauded, drawing comparisons to the work of legendary pianist Bill Evans. Reitan possesses a supple Evans-esque touch, with ...
More OJC Goodies: Red Garland and Kenny Burrell with John Coltrane
by C. Andrew Hovan
Once the vinyl renaissance proved the adage that “there is gold in them there hills," labels began scouring their vaults to put out an ongoing stream of products. Owning the rights to over 1.2 million songs, Concord Records was perfectly poised to take advantage of a huge cash cow through vinyl reissues. Their Craft Recordings subsidiary ...
About Rivkah Ross

Rivkah Ross
Rivkah Ross is a jazz drummer-composer-bandleader based in Portland, Oregon. Rivkah is poised to carve her own trail with the release of her debut album, Dare to Hope. This bold offering gives a glimpse into a world that's both deeply personal and informed by the language of giants like John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, and Steve Swallow.
Rivkah isn't merely channeling her heroes; she's using their vocabulary to craft a singular artistic statement that shows a path to new territory. Her compositions demonstrate technical prowess, and harmonic acuity. But they are also sonic narratives that grapple with themes of acceptance, resilience, and the unwavering human spirit.
Josh Lawrence: Measured Response
by David A. Orthmann
Art Hirahara's brief, cryptic solo piano intro to “Where Do We Go?," the opening track of trumpeter/flugelhornist Josh Lawrence's album, offers little indication of what immediately follows: Lawrence's warm-toned, delectable horn surrounded by relaxed, straightforward, middling-tempo swing courtesy of bassist Luques Curtis and drummer Rudy Royston. This intriguing transition sets the stage for a recording that ...
137: Strangeness Oscillation
by Chris May
More comebacks than Sinatra? Well, not really, given that this is the first one, but the return of the beyond-category British saxophonist and flautist Larry Stabbins after an eleven-year absence is headline news. In 2013, Stabbins (a.k.a. Stonephace) very publicly announced that he was beyond disgusted with the music business in general and the jazz business ...
