John Stetch: Ukrainianism
by AAJ Staff
From the title and the extensive liner notes, there's no doubt that pianist John Stetch has devoted this solo record to his roots in Ukrainian folk music. (And it's not the first time he's done this.) It's tempting to go into detail about the specific origins and hidden meanings of the various tracks, but that approach ...
Bluiett: Blueblack
by AAJ Staff
Sometimes schooling is overrated. Sure, one has to be familiar with the jazz tradition in order to play the music, it's true. But formal education is a poor way to learn how to exploit imperfections and empower playing with raw energy. Those are things you have to learn from experience. Bluiett, who's been busy with his ...
World Saxophone Quartet: Steppenwolf
by AAJ Staff
Let's be up front: the World Saxophone Quartet has never made a bad record. Sure, some listeners might not appreciate the unbridled energy that marks much of their work--but as for the rest, there are no low points. On the other hand, no single WSQ record stands out above their twenty-some others. Certainly that's a catch ...
Billy Bang: Vietnam: The Aftermath
by Matt Rand
After a particularly intense solo, Frank Lowe slung his tenor saxophone over his right shoulder and looked toward the floor. Covered by a large knit cap, Billy Bang's tenor player held the pose throughout the trumpet solo, seemingly unaware of the machine gun his instinctive stance suggested he was carrying. It was a private ...
World Saxophone Quartet: Steppenwolf
by Jim Santella
Extended pieces make up most of the program presented here by the World Saxophone Quartet in a live Chicago appearance from 1999. In front of an audience, the foursome is loose and natural; what you see is what you get. Since 1976, this ensemble has taken its alluring persona on the road in chamber ...
Jane Bunnett/Stanley Cowell/Dewey Redman: Spirituals & Dedications
by Mark Corroto
The spirituals from Spirituals & Dedications are traditional songs from the Christian church. The dedications here are to the immensely spiritual men of our modern musical times. Flutist and soprano saxophonist Jane Bunnett and her husband/producer/trumpeter Larry Cramer assembled two often overlooked and under appreciated musicians, Stanley Cowell and Dewey Redman, to breathe sanctified life into ...
David Murray and the Gwo-Ka Masters: Yonn-D
by AAJ Staff
The music of the African diaspora has recently experienced a resurgence within jazz circles. It's true that the '60s were a time of African renaissance within out jazz nuclei in Chicago and New York, but the recent explosion of recordings featuring American jazz musicians with masters from Cuba, Brazil, and West Africa stands as tribute and ...
Billy Bang: Vietnam: The Aftermath
by Jim Santella
The CD itself is painted olive drab. The cover features other shades of green in faded photographs. The music moves evenly with a peaceful country air. Dirges, dances, ceremonial rites, a little dramatic counterpoint, and swinging anthems take on surreal qualities through Billy Bang's compositions. It's been a long time, but those memories linger. ...
