Adam Lane: Live In Ljubljana
by Mark Corroto
In light of today's economic hardships, jazz orchestras or more precisely innovative jazz orchestras are really only little big bands. When you cannot travel with two dozen musicians, a leader must recruit players who can project a synergetic sound that appears greater than the sum of their parts. Masters of the little big bands include Taylor ...
Eric Revis: Trajectory From The Tradition

Eric Revis: Eric Revis: In Memory Of Things Yet Seen
by John Sharpe
Although the title to bassist Eric Revis' quartet offering appears to pay homage to some of the early AACM documents (think pianist Muhal Richard Abrams' unaccompanied manifesto Things To Come From Those Now Gone (Delmark, 1975)), the actuality is a different animal entirely.
