by John Kelman
TD Ottawa Jazz FestivalOttawa, CanadaJune 20-July 1, 2013Having made the decision, in 2012, to broaden its stylistic purview to include not only music on the periphery of jazz, but artists with no real connection to the founding raison d'être of the festival, the 2013 TD Ottawa Jazz Festival continued to bring extracurricular music ...
Überjam Deux
by John Kelman
It's been a decade since Up All Night (Verve, 2003), John Scofield's second and, at the time it seemed, final album with his Überjam band, a group of younger players who, following his earlier forays into the territory—1998's first meeting with Medeski, Martin & Wood, A Go Go (Verve), and the larger-casted Bump (2000)—placed the guitarist ...
Joe Locke: Lay Down My Heart - Blues & Ballads Vol 1
by John Kelman
In a rarefied space, Joe Locke continues to evolve, engage and impress. There simply isn't another vibraphonist of his generation with Locke's stellar chops, thorough understanding of history/tradition--not just of jazz, but of music, period--and ability to build programs based on thematic concepts that not only stand out in his gradually growing discography, but fit contextually ...

John Medeski: A Different Time
by Doug Collette
John Medeski's A Different Time certainly lives up to its title. It is both everything and nothing like what might be expected from a musician whose stock in trade is a concerted effort to avoid the predictable, as a charter member of Medeski Martin & Wood, in the course of his many live solo efforts and ...
John Medeski: A Different Time
by Dan Bilawsky
Organ ace John Medeski dons the mask of a left-leaning jazzer teetering on the brink of the jam band precipice when he appears with his co-lead super trio, Medeski, Martin & Wood (MMW), or in any number of other contexts, but that's his public face; his private pianistic side is on display on the aptly title ...
John Medeski, insospettabile solitario
by AAJ Italy Staff
John Medeski, virtuoso di Hammond e tastiere varie, è noto in Italia soprattutto per essere una colonna del trio di jazz elettrico o, a seconda dei punti di vista, di post fusion, Medeski, Martin & Wood. In realtà, di John Medeski ne esistono più di uno: infatti, il bravo e simpatico musicista americano, nato nel Kentucky ...
John Medeski: A Different Time
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dimenticatevi il frullatore stilistico, la miscela di ritmi e di generi che conciliò, in barba ai puristi, improvvisazione, jazz, avanguardia, downtown music, funky groove, drum'n'bass, underground e quant'altro, di nome Medeski, Martin & Wood. Non pensate ad una esibizione dimostrativa, sfavillante di note, ricca di scale e sontuosa nella ricerca armonica, e nemmeno ad una rivendicazione ...
David Fiuczynski: In the In Between
by Daniel Lehner
The most recent compositional premiere by guitarist David Fiucyznski has a title that almost manages to sum up his entire sphere of influence. “Flam! Pan-Asian Microjam for J Dilla and Olivier Messiaen" premiered at Berklee College of Music in 2012 and was inspired by a geographically and temporally enormous range of styles. Fiuczynski describes the piece ...
