Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Make Magic Happen

Read "Make Magic Happen" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Guitarist Jon Lundbom, with his Big Five Chord quintet, has developed the unusual marketing strategy of individually presenting each of a series of four EPs (at lower price points) over the course of 2016 with an option to purchase all as a box set. At approximately one half-hour each, it's a generous proposition; more so, given ...

Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Make Magic Happen

Read "Make Magic Happen" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


The computer/internet age ushers in new ways of selling music. Record stores, flipping through bins of long playing albums--long gone. Compact discs--not selling like they used to. Digital downloads--the thing of the future? Guitarist Jon Lundbom has come up with the idea--influenced by trumpeter Dave Douglas' foray into this territory, perhaps, with his Three Views (Greenleaf, ...

Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Jeremiah

Read "Jeremiah" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


La saga del chitarrista Jon Lundbom e dei suoi Big Five Chords giunge con Jeremiah al settimo capitolo ma non per questo viene meno l'energia, la miscela esplosiva di bop, free, rock e avant che aveva caratterizzato il sorprendente album d'esordio nell'ormai lontano 2003. Certo, manca l'effetto sorpresa, gli album successivi hanno proseguito sui sentieri tracciati ...

Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Jeremiah

Read "Jeremiah" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The seventh album by guitarist Jon Lundbom and his septet Big Five Chord leaves little room for fence sitters. His music, like fellow band members Jon Irabagon and Moppa Elliott of Mostly Other People Do The Killing, walks the razor's edge between clamorous and cultured. It's comfort is often the discombobulation. That said, isn't that what ...

Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: No New Tunes

Read "No New Tunes" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Quinto episodio della saga Big Five Chord, No New Tunes conferma quanto di buono questo manipolo di guastatori musicali ha (dis)fatto finora nelle varie formazioni nelle quali si sono ritrovati e tutt'ora continuano a ritrovarsi. Mentre il titolo è un chiaro paradosso in perfetto band-style - le sei composizioni sono naturalmente nuove di zecca - lo ...

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

Read "Quavers! Quavers! Quavers! Quavers!" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Since 2003, guitarist Jon Lundbom and his Big Five Chord unit have been crashing and slashing through the jazz-rock idiom, often lying on the perimeter of the avant-garde spectrum. With a support band comprised of solo artists and first-call session aces, the music is often hard-edged and chockfull of off-kilter innuendoes and ballsy soloing excursions.

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

Read "Quavers!Quavers!Quavers!Quavers!" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Giunti al quarto album, Jon Lundbom e i suoi Big Five Chord si confermano una delle realtà più dirompenti emerse nella Grande Mela negli ultimi anni. Un gruppo di ragazzacci che hanno incrociato e incrociano tuttora le loro storie con denominazioni diverse (Bryan and the Haggards, Mostly Other People Do the Killing tra gli altri) e ...

Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Accomplish Jazz

Read "Accomplish Jazz" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Originario di Chicago, newyorchese d'adozione, il chitarrista Jon Lundbom è l'ennesimo fiore sbocciato nel giardino della nuova Brooklyn. Accomplish Jazz è la terza fatica per i suoi Big Five Chord, band completata dal sax tenore di Bryan Murray, dalla batteria di Danny Fischer e da due quarti del terror-bop combo Mostly Other People Do the Killing: ...

Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Accomplish Jazz

Read "Accomplish Jazz" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


There is a refreshing, albeit immediate, sense of naïveté about the music of guitarist Jon Lundbom. As the music progresses, however, it becomes evident that Lundbom wears this almost childlike wonder as a rather thin mask, belying a graceful sophistication that marks an apparent determination to go beyond the mere skin of sound. This is eminently ...
