Carla Bley: The Lost Chords
by John Kelman
While she is perhaps better known for her large group work, including Fleur Carnivore , Goes to Church and last year's marvellous Looking for America , Carla Bley has experimented with smaller ensembles over the years, right down to duos and trios. But never, arguably, as successfully as with The Lost Chords , a pared down ...
John McLaughlin: Belo Horizonte
by John Kelman
The '80s were not especially great years for guitarist John McLaughlin. Following his groundbreaking late '60s and '70s work with Miles Davis, various incarnations of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and his genre-bending group Shakti, it's almost as if he disappeared from the public eye for a decade, before reappearing in strong form in '90 with Live at ...
G.Org: A New Kind of Blue
by John Kelman
Paying homage can be risky business, especially when the source is as seminal as Miles Davis' classic Kind of Blue. Comparisons are not just begged, they're expected. And how can anyone hope to capture the same magic? Or the confluence of events that put Davis, Julian “Cannonball" Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers ...
John Zorn: Masada 10 Years Volume Four: Masada Recital
by John Kelman
It's hard to imagine that ten years have passed since John Zorn introduced his Masada project. A decade later, with a collective songbook of over two hundred pieces and a range of contexts that include the original Ornette Coleman-inflected Masada Quartet, the chamber-approach of Bar Kokhba and Masada String Trio, and the wilder, more aggressive stance ...
Buddy Rich Live at the 1982 Montreal Jazz Festival
by John Kelman
When one thinks of drummer Buddy Rich what comes to mind, first and foremost, are impressions of a brash personality and an even more outgoing drumming style. And while it is true that the majority of Rich's output with his various big bands falls in the camp of extroversion with bold, bright virtuoso playing, equally impressive ...
Bass Day '98
by John Kelman
Hosted by John Patitucci, Bass Day ‘98 documents an annual event put on by The Bass Collective and Bass Player Magazine, dedicated to the bass – acoustic, electric, fretted, fretless, four-string, five-string, six-string...whatever the flavour. While this DVD release, which excerpts four outstanding performances and a number of interviews from that day in 1998, will clearly ...
The Abercrombie/Erskine/Mintzer/Patitucci Band: Live in New York City
by John Kelman
While Hudson Music is primarily known for their instructional videos and, more recently, DVDs, the fact is that many of their titles, while academically interesting for the student, are worthwhile to the non-musician for their exceptional concert footage. They have been reissuing some of their more popular video titles on DVD, and it's as good a ...
Stockhausen/Snetberger/Andersen/Heral: Joyosa
by John Kelman
The sign of true artistry in music is the ability to transcend boundaries and be as broad as possible. While there are those who work endlessly to hone the finer points of a particular style, arguably the ones who make the most impact are those who can rise above disposition and blend into any context. Even ...
Mike Marshall & Choro Famoso: Mike Marshall & Choro Famoso
by John Kelman
Sometimes a single form or idea can yield a broad range of interpretations and a surprising number of results. Pianist Tord Gustavsen, on Changing Places , examined a particular tempo and mood, investigating the subdivisions within, while trumpeter Tomasz Stanko, on Soul of Things professed each movement to be a different view of the same song. ...
