Jordan Rudess: The Road Home
by John Kelman
Genesis...Yes...Gentle Giant... King Crimson... Emerson, Lake & Palmer...all significant contributors to the stylistic groundswell of progressive rock nearly forty years ago. Morphing beyond recognition, ceasing to exist or resting on their laurels, each has seen a resurgence of interest in recent years, as the internet makes it possible for fans around the world to come together ...
Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra: Dream Wheel: Live at the Sound Lounge 2006 with Florian Ross
by John Kelman
In jazz, there's rarely pressure to make the next album bigger than the last. There can often, however, be a self-imposed drive to make it different. Sydney, Australia's Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra--the flagship of its Jazzgroove Association, a musicians' collective that's been cultivating a strong jazz scene there for a decade--released one of 2006's best big band ...
Esbjorn Svensson Trio (e.s.t.): Live in Hamburg
by John Kelman
A lot has happened to e.s.t. since its last live album, Live '95 (ACT, 2001). By the time that album hit the streets the trio had already become one of Europe's most successful jazz acts and was beginning to make inroads into the North American market. But e.s.t was still young and hungry when it was ...
Trio M: Big Picture
by John Kelman
The dynamic that occurs when a specific group of players comes together just can't be predicted, even if they've worked together in other contexts. That's the story with Trio M--pianist Myra Melford, bassist Mark Dresser and drummer Matt Wilson--three musicians who have intersected on more than one occasion and talked about getting together as a trio. ...
John McLaughlin: The Essential John McLaughlin
by John Kelman
Any attempt to summarize John McLaughlin's diverse career into a mere two CDs will be open to criticism, especially by the legendary guitarist's ardent fans. The Essential John McLaughlin is not meant to be a “best of collection, or even a representation of all the various groups he's led since his professional career began in the ...
Theo Travis: Double Talk
by John Kelman
The British jazz scene is filled with treasures often hidden from North American audiences. Woodwind multi- instrumentalist Theo Travis--who replaced Elton Dean in Soft Machine Legacy following the legendary saxophonist's unexpected passing in 2006--has his fingers in so many pies, however, that it's surprising he's not better known on the west side of the Atlantic. Along ...
Supersilent: 8
by John Kelman
While many musicians eschew liner notes, preferring to let the music speak for itself, Norwegian noise improv group Supersilent has always taken that philosophy a step further. The names of the band members aren't listed; album titles are only in increasing numerical increments; and the collective spontaneous compositions are simply titled with the album and track ...
Martin France / Spin Marvel: Spin Marvel
by John Kelman
Appearances can be deceptive. Martin France has built a career over the past two decades in largely acoustic environs. Along with being a member of the cooperative ECM group First House from the late 1980s, the British drummer has been involved in over fifty projects, including saxophonist Iain Ballamy's More Jazz (Basho, 2007) and pianist Gwilym ...
David Liebman Group: Blues All Ways
by John Kelman
While the blues is one of the clearest roots of conventional jazz tradition, few but saxophonist Dave Liebman could release an album that covers as many stylistic bases as Blues All Ways.There's good reason why Liebman can create a blues homage ranging from the 7/4 Memphis shuffle of “Elvis the Pelvis" and lithe, harmonically ...
Alan Pasqua: The Antisocial Club
by John Kelman
Alan Pasqua first emerged as keyboardist for legendary drummer Tony Williams' mid-1970s New Lifetime and has been a busy session player ever since, with a solo career focused largely on acoustic music, including the elegant My New Old Friend (Cryptogramophone, 2005). Still, the outstanding DVD, Allan Holdsworth and Alan Pasqua featuring Chad Wackerman and Jimmy Haslip ...
