John McLaughlin & the 4th Dimension: To The One
by Ian Patterson
John McLaughlin and The 4th Dimension To The One Abstract Logix 2010 It's seems like a while since John McLaughlin recorded in such a stripped down context with a working band. Recordings such as Industrial Zen(Verve, 2006) and Floating Point (Abstract Logix, 2008) found the ...
John McLaughlin and The 4th Dimension: John McLaughlin and The 4th Dimension: To The One
by John Kelman
After two studio albums that fell into the category of special projects--the large-casted but surprisingly cohesive Industrial Zen (Verve, 2005) and synth-laden Floating Point (Abstract Logix, 2008), where the iconic guitarist flipped his past concerns of playing eastern music with a western sensibility by recruiting a largely Indian group to play some very western fusion--John McLaughlin ...
Cindy Blackman: Another Lifetime
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Drummer Cindy Blackman has played with acts from Lenny Kravitz to Joe Henderson but it was Tony Williams, one of the greatest drummers of all time, who was her main influence. Blackman's dynamic Another Lifetime pays tribute to her mentor and friend and is centered primarily on Williams' role as a founding father of jazz-rock fusion. ...
Anthony Jackson / Yiorgos Fanakas: Interspirit
by John Kelman
He's performed with a seemingly countless array of artists--from Roberta Flack and Steely Dan to Chick Corea, John Scofield, and Steve Khan--but electric contrabassist Anthony Jackson, now approaching 60, is that rare consummate sideman who has never released an album as a leader/co-leader. Until now. Interspirit teams the inveterate bassist with Greek bassist Yiorgos Fakanas for ...
John McLaughlin & the 4th Dimension "To the One"
With his new album To The One (Abstract Logix/Mediastarz), iconic guitarist and composer and 2010 Grammy Winner John McLaughlin looks backwards and forwards simultaneously. The six original songs are hauntingly evocative - with roiling rhythmic swells, modal expanses, and telepathic group interaction echoing the profound influence of John Cotrane's 1965 spiritual jazz masterpiece A Love Supreme. ...
Cindy Blackman: Another Lifetime
by Jeff Winbush
When Cindy Blackman took an insult from another musician directed toward her and the late, great drum virtuoso Tony Williams, she got even.

Anders Nilsson´s AORTA Ensemble: Anders Nilsson's AORTA Ensemble
by Eyal Hareuveni

Nicolas Meier: Journey
by Bruce Lindsay
Swiss-born, UK-based guitarist Nicolas Meier dedicates Journey to his wife Songul, for sharing “this beautiful life journey" with him. Thematically, the eight tunes can readily be viewed as representing such a journey--but it is equally successful in evoking a single day's walk through a beautiful and mysterious landscape, with Meier's band members as fellow travelers.
Nicolas Meier: Journey
by Chris May
Turkish music and jazz make compatible bedfellows, so it's curious that congress takes place so infrequently outside Turkey. In the late 1950s, pianist Dave Brubeck combined Turkish 9/8 rhythm patterns with classical rondo form and the blues to create “Blue Rondo A La Turk" on Time Out (Columbia, 1959). In the 1980s, Austrian guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel ...
