Stirrup: Sewn
by Mark Corroto
It's apparent why Ken Vandermark invited cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm to join the now defunct Vandermark 5 a decade ago. His versatility allows him to play a full spectrum of music from chamber jazz to stadium rock. One minute he's Pablo Casals, the next Jimi Hendrix. His adventures have taken him from Peter Brotzmann's Tentet ...
C.O.D.E. (Ken Vandermark, Max Nagl, Clayton Thomas, Wolfang Reisinger): Play the music of Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ornette (Coleman) ed Eric (Dolphy) si alternano regolarmente nelle otto tracce del disco fino a convivere nella sesta dove, del sassofonista di Forth Worth, viene interpretata “Something Sweet, Something Tender," e del clarinettista e altista losangelino l'altrettanto celebre “The Sphinx". Due mondi musicali così fortemente caratterizzati e difficilmente immaginabili lontani dai loro protagonisti, dalle coordinate non ...
Meet Mark Corroto

I currently live in: Delaware, Ohio. I joined All About Jazz in: 1999 What made you decide to contribute to All About Jazz? AAJ has a “No-Snobs" approach to jazz that tolerates both the Wynton neo-moldy figs, my free jazz and avant leanings, fusion, and even some rock. How do ...
Eric Revis: Eric Revis' Parallax
by Glenn Astarita
Bassist Eric Revis is notoriously comfortable within many jazz contexts and vernaculars. As a leader and session man, he's been in the thick of things, toggling between modern mainstream, trad-jazz, Acid Jazz and other crosscutting musical endeavors. Here, he revisits the freer spectrum, supported by an all-star lineup. And while there's certainly no shortage of group-centric ...

Before We Say Goodbye To 2012
by Mark Corroto
In consumer culture, where we are all guilty of looking for the next new thing, the emphasis is always on new releases, and what the next, best, super-improved product will be. It seems that even before this week's movie opens, we are being told about next week's blockbuster. Before we turn our attention fully ...

The album's four ...
Close Encounters Of The Skronky Kind
by Eyal Hareuveni
Paal Nilssen-Love is one of the hardest-working musicians in the European free jazz and free improvisation scenes. Amongst his near-countless activities, the Norwegian drummer collaborates on a regular basis with Chicago reed multi-instrumentalist Ken Vandermark, in their ongoing duo, in the Double Cement trio and Lean Left quartet, as a member of Peter Brötzmann's Hairy Bones ...
Paul Lytton & Nate Wooley + Ikue Mori & Ken Vandermark: The Nows
by Glenn Astarita
Ultra-progressive jazz and avant-garde expressionism are trumpeter Nate Wooley's toy stores, so to speak. He's well-established in the modern era's radical music scene and teams here with venerable Euro-jazz percussionist Paul Lytton, equating to a vivid snapshot of the duo's 2011 US tour. Brilliant minds think alike, and the proof resides in the multifarious modes of ...
