Mike Reed's People, Places & Things: Stories and Negotiations

Read "Stories and Negotiations" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


L'idea è di quelle intriganti. Allestire una band -People, Places & Things, gran bel nome- con la quale recuperare e far riemergere dall'oblio la scena jazz della Chicago anni 1954-1960. Scena in lento ma inesorabile movimento, dominata ancora dall'infuocato hard bop ma con all'orizzonte i primi segnali delle trasformazioni che porteranno all'avvento dell'AACM. Per far ciò ...

Mike Reed's People, Places & Things: Stories And Negotiations

Read "Stories And Negotiations" reviewed by Martin Longley


This third album by Mike Reed's People, Places & Things (PP&T) takes its position as the most direct manifestation of the combo's agreed purpose. The Chicago drummer has begun a journey of rediscovery, or even introduction, to the old jazz sounds of that city's late '50s period. Reed's concept is not to reproduce, but to respond ...

Mike Reed's People, Places & Things: Stories and Negotiations

Read "Stories and Negotiations" reviewed by Troy Collins


Stories and Negotiations is the final chapter in Chicago-based drummer Mike Reed's People, Places & Things trilogy. Debuting with 2008's Proliferation (482 Music), Reed founded this piano-less quartet to investigate an often overlooked period of Chicago's jazz history--the mid-1950s to early 1960s--when the city's after-hours jam session culture flirted with avant-garde collectivism, eventually giving birth to ...

Wayne Wallace Latin Jazz Quintet: Bien Bien!

Read "Bien Bien!" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson


With ¡Bien Bien!, as with previous releases, trombonist Wayne Wallace and his group display a very subtle kind of mastery. The elements of the combo's excellence are impressive enough. First, Wallace plays his instrument as beautifully as the trombone all-stars in Manny Oquendo's classic Conjunto Libre--or indeed the great Julian Priester, who sits in on a ...

Wayne Wallace Latin Jazz Quintet: Bien Bien!

Read "Bien Bien!" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


The music with clave that began with Machito's “Tanga," and George Russell's “Cubana-Be Cubana-Bop" has come a long way. With clave in his soul, trombonist Wayne Wallace proves, yet again, on Bien Bien! that the cheer of the music is truly infectious. Wallace is rare among musicians who can swing as well as he can clave. ...
