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

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 ...

Khan Jamal: Cool
by Francis Lo Kee
Always interesting and quite different from one to the next, vibraphonist Khan Jamal's recordings have charted a unique course through the world of improvisational music, from trio recordings with bass and drums or guitar and drums to sessions with great horn players (eg. Grachan Moncur III, Byard Lancaster, Charles Tyler, et. al.) to the somewhat psychedelic ...
