Jon Lundbom and Big Five Chord: Quavers! Quavers! Quavers! Quavers!

Read "Quavers! Quavers! Quavers! Quavers!" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe
May 26, 2011

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
May 26, 2011

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

Read "Come Together Move Apart" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

by Bruce Lindsay
May 18, 2011

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 ...

Don Sebesky: Giant Box

Read "Giant Box" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky
May 10, 2011

It's a bit bizarre to find an album called Giant Box in a small cardboard case, or as a download lacking physical form, but times change. When Don Sebesky's grand musical statement on CTI hit the marketplace in 1973, it came in a classical-type record box, befitting the stature of the music. Opinions ...

Human Element: Human Element

Read "Human Element" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson
May 8, 2011

The supergroup sobriquet that label Abstract Logix has placed on Human Element is quite a billing to live up to, but keyboardist Scott Kinsey, bassist Matt Garrison, percussionist/vocalist Arto Tunçboyaciyan and drummer Gary Novak pool their individual talents and rise spectacularly to the challenge. Years of collective experience in the bands of keyboardists Joe Zawinul, Herbie ...

Trilok Gurtu: Stirring the Big Old Pot

by Ian Patterson
April 27, 2011

There is a popular theory of mathematical probability, that if you put a typewriter in front of a monkey, it will, through a process of trial and error, eventually produce a play of William Shakespeare. Swayed by the same sweeping logic, others believe that if you put a trap kit and assorted percussive instruments in front ...
