John Hollenbeck's Claudia Quintet and Large Ensemble at Two NYC Venues
by Martin Longley
The Claudia QuintetCornelia Street CaféNew York, NYOctober 13, 2007 The John Hollenbeck Large EnsembleJazz StandardNew York, NYNovember 5, 2007 Drummer and composer John Hollenbeck comes across as a combination of benign control freak and supremely modest humorist. He's very much the ...
The Claudia Quintet: For
by Mark Corroto
Drummer John Hollenbeck's Claudia Quintet has created a sound. Let's not call it jazz, or chamber music, or rock for that matter. It is the Claudia sound, period. The trouble, of course with being original, is that the pigeon-holers cannot pigeonhole you and the radio folks won't play you. But then, everyone with an ear for ...
The Claudia Quintet: For
by John Kelman
While it's invariably the intention of any group to make each new record an improvement or, at least, an evolution over the last one, it's rare that it actually happens with inevitable consistency. Bucking the trend since its eponymous 2001 CRI debut, percussionist/composer John Hollenbeck's Claudia Quintet has managed to make each successive release somehow different ...
Claudia Quintet: For
by Troy Collins
The brainchild of percussionist John Hollenbeck, the Claudia Quintet has navigated the boundary lines between free jazz, contemporary composition, progressive rock and electronica so successfully that its output is virtually uncategorizable. For, the aptly titled fourth album from the ceaselessly inventive group, offers a slight departure from its last record. Semi-Formal (Cuneiform, 2005), used ...
Scott Fields Ensemble: Beckett
by AAJ Italy Staff
Scott Fields è un chitarrista che definire jazz sarebbe molto riduttivo. La definizione che lui stesso dà della sua musica è “post-free jazz”, ed “exploratory music”. In realtà, il suo maggior riferimento è il sistema tonale di Stephen Dembski, compositore che il chitarrista ha conosciuto nel 1991. Beckett, album dedicato allo scrittore irlandese, è comunque il ...

The Claudia Quintet: Semi-Formal
by AAJ Italy Staff
Memori della gustosa prova precedente, è con ghiotte e baldanzose aspettative che inseriamo nel lettore l’ultimo album del Claudia Quintet. Purtroppo, varcato il primo promettente squarcio, il gusto si guasta un poco e subentra l'amarezza per l'aver osato sperare troppo. Là dove I, Claudia era una precisa sincera originale affermazione d'identità, Semi-Formal raffredda gli entusiasmi e ...
John Hollenbeck Jazz Bigband Graz featuring Theo Bleckmann: Joys & Desires
by C. Michael Bailey
This release would look like the dozens of big band recordings that surface every year, except for the small print mentioning Theo Bleckmann. Bleckmann, a fixture in New York City performance art circles, was a conspicuous presence on this year's Winter & Winter recording Las Vegas Rhapsody: The Night They Invented Champagne. Bleckmann isn't singing this ...
