Norwegian Jazz 101c: JazzNorway In A Nutshell 2011
by John Kelman
2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 It may be true, at least most of the time, that familiarity breeds, if not exactly contempt, then certainly complacency; but that simply doesn't apply if subject is Norway--and, in particular, its disproportionately large and vibrant music scene. Suffering from an epidemic that most folks would ...
Bronk: Bronk 2

All three made an impression locally in the 1970s and '80, but now with this, their second album, ...

Jon Lundbom and Big Five Chord: Quavers! Quavers! Quavers! Quavers!
by John Sharpe
For their sophomore outing on Hot Cup Records and fourth overall, Brooklyn guitarist Jon Lundbom and Big Five Chord take a skewed look at jazz with rock sensibilities--or should that be the other way round? Lundbom can be hard to pin down: he has been compared to the likes of Derek Bailey and a young John ...
Young / Powell / Vespestad: Anthem
by John Kelman
Public perception can often be misleading. Those only familiar with Jacob Young's ECM recordings, including the sublime Evening Falls (2004), inevitably think of him as a painstakingly lyrical guitarist, informed by Jim Hall's economical forward- thinking and penchant for the sound of a warm, organic hollowbody or steely acoustic instrument. But that's only part of the ...

Nat Janoff: Come Together Move Apart
by Bruce Lindsay
Guitarist Nat Janoff's Come Together Move Apart appears over a decade after his critically-applauded debut, Looking Through (Independent Records,1999). He's not been idle during the intervening years, but his recorded output has been sporadic. That's to be regretted, for Janoff's playing is a delight, and his fellow musicians on this album are some of the brightest ...
