Satoko Fujii: Defying Expectations

Read "Satoko Fujii: Defying Expectations" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

Satoko Fujii is a rare breed. The pianist and composer manages to continually defy expectations while remaining solid and eminently musical in her work. She puts out new recordings at an almost ridiculous rate, rarely repeating a composition, but doesn't simply toss any live session to whatever label will take it. Each new disc (she's released ...

Harris Eisenstadt: The All Seeing Eye + Octets

Read "The All Seeing Eye + Octets" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

It's a bold few decisions Harris Eisenstadt makes The All-Seeing Eye + Octets. He starts it off by covering the whole of Wayne Shorter's The All Seeing Eye (Blue Note, 1965), but arranges it for new instrumentation and then pairs that with two suites of his own. It's the sort of thing you'd better know you ...

Queen Mab Trio: Thin Air

Read "Thin Air" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

Queen Mab “gallops night by night, through lovers' brains and then they dream of love, at least the Fairy Queen Mab of Romeo and Juliet does and if that's a bit sweet, even a bit specious an image to cast upon an all-woman trio, it does make an impression (and after all, they chose what to ...

Ellery Eskelin: Quiet Music

Read "Quiet Music" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

Saxophonist Ellery Eskelin's trio with Andrea Parkins and Jim Black is so tight, so dense, that it's hard to imagine another musician in the mix. But on this double-disc set he adds vocalist Jessica Constable and on three tracks augments the group up to a quintet with Phillippe Gelda on keyboards and vocals. The results are ...

In addition to his own composing and improvising, he's devoted entire albums to the music of such artists as Albert Ayler, J.S. Bach, Jimi Hendrix ...

Read "vis-" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

Misha Mengelberg's legacy, through his ICP Orchestra, will be as a pianist who is a unique jazz interpreter and bandleader with a devotion to Herbie Nichols, Monk and Ellington. And while he's made his own mark, it's only part of the story. At the helm of the ICP, Mengelberg leads jaunty, jazzy ditties, ...
