Stefano Battaglia: Pelagos

Read "Pelagos" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

by Karl Ackermann

Stefano Battaglia has a ten-plus year history on the ECM label where he has covered much ground in terms of formations, style and genre. The effort has not always paid off. His label debut Raccolto (2005) was a meandering affair that squandered the opportunities that come with two-discs of music. All of Battaglia's considerable talents were ...

Tubis Trio: The Truth

Read "The Truth" reviewed by Geno Thackara

by Geno Thackara

A title such as The Truth may seem like some kind of commentary or bold statement in what's strangely referred to as the post-truth era, though Maciej Tubis and his cohorts thankfully don't bring any such weighty baggage to their first studio date (following two live releases with slightly different lineups). “In the end, you need ...

Gary Peacock Trio: Tangents

Read "Tangents" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

by Karl Ackermann

Considering his nearly sixty-five years of recording, Gary Peacock has been relatively selective in his choice of leader projects. His association with luminaries Albert Ayler, Paul Bley, Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett have put him in the company of jazz history makers. When Jarrett's Standards Trio, with Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette, disbanded in 2014 after ...
