John Yao and His 17-Piece Instrument: Flip-Flop
by Jack Bowers

John O'Gallagher: The Honeycomb
by Mark Corroto
What if jazz was rock-and-roll? Not the corporate-halftime show-American Idol rock, but the dangerous music your parents (maybe grandparents) were afraid of. Remember, there was a time when jazz was threatening. Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie startled listeners with their revolutionary 'bebop,' before Ornette Coleman and Albert Ayler caused fist fights and mini-riots. Jazz has since ...
John O'Gallagher: The Honeycomb
by Dan McClenaghan
Bring up the trio format, one with an alto saxophone, bass and drums, and Ornette Coleman, alto man extraordinaire, might come to mind, especially those fantastic Blue Note Records sets, The Ornette Coleman Trio at the Golden Circle Stockholm, Volume One and Two (1965). In fact, alto saxophonist John O'Gallagher, on The Honeycomb, has a lyricism ...
Samo Salamon: 2Alto
by Hrayr Attarian

Šalamon combines his polyphonic guitar-work with the contrasting and complementary sounds of saxophonists Loren Stillman and John O'Gallagher and the propulsive beats of frequent ...
Samo Salamon: 2Alto
by Vincenzo Roggero
Settantacinque minuti di musica e non sentirli. Merito del chitarrista di origine slovena Samo Salamon e del suo bassless quartet, formazione atipica, una sorta di espansione dei differenti trii che Salamon ha allestito con musicisti del calibro di Tim Berne, Tom Rainey, Paul McCandless, Achille Succi. L'assenza del contrabbasso, se da un lato è uno spot ...

Pete Mills: The Anatomy Of A Jazz Release
by Mark Corroto
I'm here to tell you that everything you thought about the making of a modern jazz records is wrong. The notion that there are talent agents selling concepts to record companies—wrong. That bands work on tunes, perfecting them for months before entering the studio—wrong. That jazz musicians make money from records—again, wrong. I had ...
