Alex Machacek / Jeff Sipe / Matt Garrison: Improvision
by John Kelman
With two of 2006's best fusion records and three fine releases already out in 2007, Abstract Logix is rapidly transitioning from online storefront to bonafide record label. Austrian-born, Los Angeles-based guitarist Alex Machacek's [sic] (2006) was a stunning album that, along with the kind of virtuoso playing that would send most guitarists running for ...
Alex Sipiagin: Out of the Circle
by John Kelman
Over the course of seven years and six albums for Criss Cross, trumpeter Alex Sipiagin has been evolving as a player, writer and bandleader, with Prints (2007) his most fully realized effort to date. Still, the Dutch record label's insistence on short sessions--usually only a single day--imposes practical limitations on what its artists can accomplish on ...
Chris Potter 10: Song for Anyone
by John Kelman
While Chris Potter's other release on the same day, Follow the Red Line: Live at the Village Vanguard (Sunnyside, 2007), is a feature for his high energy, rock- and funk-inflected Underground group, Song for Anyone presents a side to the saxophonist that's not been heard before. Written for an unorthodox combination of instruments, it focuses more ...
Chris Potter Underground: Follow the Red Line: Live at the Village Vanguard
by John Kelman
In a rare move, saxophonist Chris Potter has released two CDs on the same day, and on the same label--Song For Anyone, his first album for a large ensemble; and Follow the Red Line: Live at the Village Vanguard, featuring the Underground band that's been touring for the past couple of years. Risky, perhaps, but Potter's ...
John McLaughlin: On The Road, Part 1: The Interview
by John Kelman
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 It's been nearly a decade since legendary guitarist John McLaughlin toured North America with an electric fusion band. With a new group, The 4th Dimension, and a new label, Abstract Logix, McLaughlin will be ...
Punkt 07 - Kristiansand, Norway - Day Four, September 1, 2007
by John Kelman
Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4Despite its relatively small size, Punkt is a festival that always thinks big. The best sound and lighting people in the country are enlisted--resulting in always superb sound and set/lighting designs that, rather than being created for the venue and remaining constant, change, often ...
Punkt 07 - Kristiansand, Norway - Day Three, August 31, 2007
by John Kelman
Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 While other festivals feature a diversity of artists across a longer period of time, there's simply no festival other than Punkt that manages to pack so much into three days of programming—and create the kind of environment where unexpected collaborations catalyze real magic, ...
Punkt 07 - Kristiansand, Norway - Day Two, August 30, 2007
by John Kelman
Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 As 5:00 PM approached, anticipation of the first official day for Punkt 07 continued to grow. The Agder Theater is a beautiful venue, with a large bar area for meeting up with artists and other media folks from as far away as ...
Punkt 07 - Kristiansand, Norway - Day One, August 29, 2007
by John Kelman
Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 Returning to the town of Kristiansand, Norway is more like a homecoming than a holiday (or work). That's because, unlike so many other festivals, Punkt is as much about community and relationship as it is music. It's hard to imagine a festival ...
Richard Galliano featuring Gary Burton: If You Love Me (L'Hymne a L'Amour)
by John Kelman
Fifteen years after his death, tango legend Astor Piazolla's influence continues to be felt. Both accordionist Richard Galliano and vibraphonist Gary Burton have released tributes to the late composer/performer, and so it's no surprise that the two have joined up to mine Piazolla's music and more on If You Love Me (L'Hymne à L'Amour). They explore ...
