Cape Town Jazz Festival 2012
by John Kelman
Cape Town Jazz FestivalCape Town, South AfricaMarch 30-31, 2012An invite to cover the 13th annual Cape Town Jazz Festival would have been reason enough to travel over 8,000 miles to South Africa. But when the invite, from South Africa Tourism, stretched to an expansive ten-day trip--beginning in Johannesburg, continuing on to Cape Town ...
Masabumi Kikuchi Trio: Sunrise
by John Kelman
With a surprising number of recordings coming out that represent some of drummer Paul Motian's final work before passing unexpectedly in the fall of 2011, few have created as deeply personal a tribute as the liner notes to Japanese pianist Masabumi Kikuchi's Sunrise. “Suddenly Paul was gone. He left without warning," Kikuchi writes, as he recounts ...
Third Story: Third Story
by Robert Bush
Third StoryThird StoryThird Story Music2012Third Story is a remarkable document from a young band (average age 26) of top flight musicians. Although the group was put together, and the album produced, by bassist Danny Weller, there is a collaborative spirit that infuses the disc, drawing material from three ...
Guillaume de Chassy: Silences
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Pianist Guillaume de Chassy insists that Silences is inspired by the example of clarinetist Jimmy Giuffre's late-1950s trio recordings. To be sure, like those records, this album is marked by intimacy and introspection, a strong clarinet sound and no drummer. But Silences, recorded at a French abbey, doesn't sound much like Giuffre's records--nor indeed, like much ...
Billy Test: Solo Piano at The Kitano
by Daniel Lehner
Billy Test SoloThe KitanoNew York, NYMarch 13, 2012Solo piano is a format that acts as a statement of achievement as much as it is a stylistic choice. It's not a venture for the half-hearted; solo piano concerts are typically conducted by longstanding luminaries like Keith Jarrett and Brad Mehldau. However, for ...
Bugge Wesseltoft: Songs
by John Kelman
After John Scofield released his balladic A Moment's Peace (EmArcy, 2011), the guitarist revealed, in an 2011 All About Jazz interview, that the original plan was to record with Norwegian pianist Bugge Wesseltoft. It may not have come to pass, but based on Songs, it sure sounds as though these two artists--geographically distanced by thousands of ...
Aleks Girshevich Trio: Tomorrow

Michael Bates: Acrobat: Music For, And By, Dimitri Shostakovich
by Raul d'Gama Rose
To set the record straight: America has not taken a step closer to being more tolerant of any kind of musical rebel. It does not tolerate the one that conforms (for he or she too is a rebel), nor does it tolerate the one who is the objector. Like in every other aspect of life--other than ...
