Konnex Records
by Celeste Sunderland
One night in the early '70s, saxophonist Trevor Watts and drummer John Stevens were playing a concert in West Berlin. After the show, a tall, elegant, German man by the name of Manfred Schiek asked if he could buy one of their records. But they didn't have one. “There was an oil crisis at the time ...
Harvey Sorgen - Steve Rust - Michael Jefry Stevens Trio: A Scent in Motion
by AAJ Italy Staff
Un grande trio per un grande disco, per capire come le leggi della visibilità siano spesso separate dal merito. Nell'insipienza generale del mercato discografico è scandaloso che una notevole seduta d'incisione del 1994 trovi solo ora la sua collocazione discografica. Un plauso grande alla Konnex, per averla riportata alla luce, dopo 15 anni di oblio. La ...
Harvey Sorgen / Steve Rust / Michael Jefry Stevens Trio: A Scent in Motion

Back in the 1990s, pianist Michael Jefry Stevens, drummer Harvey Sorgen and bassist Steven Rust set in motion a trio project which would have them reassemle in a studio every year to improvise.

Pascal Niggenkemper: Pasapas
by Terrell Kent Holmes
While essentially a jazz album, Pasàpas, by bassist/composer Pascal Niggenkemper's trio, explores various musical landscapes with vigor and solid musicianship, presenting a nicely diverse lineup of original tunes. “Reverie Espagnole" opens with the symphonic lament of Niggenkemper's sonorous arco and then moves into an up-tempo rhythm, where saxophonist Robin Verheyen unleashes a wicked ...
Dave Fox Group featuring Bruce Eisenbeil: Home Again
by Eyal Hareuveni
The third release of the Dave Fox group, augmented now by avant-guitarist Bruce Eisenbeil, presents free improvised music at its best. This is adventurous music that's raw, muscular, unstructured, intense, idiosyncratic in its risk-taking approach but still cohesive in a unique way. The group is comprised of North Carolina's Greensboro College music educator Fox (here on ...
Michael Jefry Stevens Trio: For Andrew
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'ampio scarto temporale tra la data di registrazione di questo disco (28 marzo 1996) e quello della sua pubblicazione (la fine del 2008) è indicativo di quanto il talento di Michael Jefry Stevens abbia ancora difficoltà a farsi conoscere dal vasto pubblico. Anche se la formazione opera dalla fine degli anni Ottanta, è rimasta confinata nell'area ...
