Scanner with the Post Modern Jazz Quartet: Blink of An Eye
by Lyn Horton
From the very first sounds heard on Blink of An Eye's “Shadow Splice," a ground is gradually established with bass piano chords, a minor-key string bass arco line, a floating vibe resonance and steady pulse rising from the cymbals. As the Ellingtonian “Blues In C" evokes, the source of improvisational music is the ...
Scanner with the Post Modern Jazz Quartet: Blink Of An Eye
by Mark Corroto
If the early works of Robin Rimbaud (aka Scanner) can be described as voyeuristic, then Blink Of An Eye might just be Frotteurism, the act of touching others, usually in crowds, without their ever knowing. On Blink of an Eye he alters, accents and manipulates a jazz quartet's sound, often without it being obvious.Scanner ...
Khan Jamal - Gives the Vibes Some (Palm, 1974)
Khan Jamal is one of the unsung heroes of the vibraphone, developing his own unique personality on the instrument apart from the blues drenched soul of Milt Jackson and the hard-bop pyrotechnics of Bubby Hutcherson. This obscure album was released on the French Palm label, and feature Jamal in some really interesting duet and solo settings. ...
Sounds of Liberation: Sounds of Liberation
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il periodo è quello tra la fine dei Sessanta e la metà dei Settanta. Sono gli anni post-new thing e post-Coltrane, della coscienza nera e della Great Black Music, per dirla alla maniera di Chicago; gli anni dello sguardo rivolto alla Madre Africa, all'Oriente e, di tanto in tanto, al Sud America; gli anni delle Pantere ...
Muhammad Ali: From a Family of Percussionists
by Clifford Allen
Though not as well known as his brother, drummer Rashied Ali (1935-2009), Muhammad Ali spent the 1970s as one of the busiest drummers in free jazz, primarily working in a cooperative Paris-based quartet with saxophonist Frank Wright, pianist Bobby Few and bassist Alan Silva, and known as the Center of the World Quartet. Born in Philadelphia ...
Odean Pope: Odean's List
by Troy Collins
Though best known for his lengthy tenure accompanying legendary drummer Max Roach, Philadelphia-based tenor saxophonist Odean Pope has long demonstrated a flair for writing and arranging that is as impressive as his sideman work. His most arresting compositions have been conceived for his decades-old Saxophone Choir, while smaller-scale projects have featured his improvisational prowess in collaboration ...

Garage A Trois: Power Patriot
by Mark Corroto
The music of Garage A Trois is located somewhere on the map between do-it-yourself punk fusion and hip-hop jamband. The current lineup replaces guitarist Charlie Hunter, heard on Outre Mer (Telarc, 2006) and Emphasizer (Tone Cool, 2003), with keyboardist Marco Benevento. The effect is to push the music more towards saxophonist Skerik's prior efforts in the ...
DJ Spooky: The Secret Song
by Mark Corroto
DJ Spooky again proves hip-hop is jazz. Like its grandfather bebop, mixologist/DJ/producer Paul Miller's (aka DJ Spooky) hip-hop is as vibrant and creative as the great revolutionaries in jazz. On The Secret Song he mixes dub, reggae, rock, classical, world, electronic and, well, jazz into a jazz thing. Spooky's reflections on the financial and world meltdown ...
