Various Artists: 30th Anniversary Collection
by Kurt Gottschalk
Back in the early '80s, before ECM, Gramavision and Nonesuch started to notice the sounds being made below 14th Street, and Knitting Factory Records, Antilles and Enemy began documenting the growing scene, a handful of artists were doing it themselves. Eugene Chadbourne's Parachute and Elliott Sharp's Zoar were two of the early downtown DIY efforts and ...
Jamie Saft: Trouble: The Jamie Saft Trio Plays Bob Dylan
by Kurt Gottschalk
It's a story almost as old as rock itself: Bob Dylan, the pop poet laureate, can't sing or play guitar, but he sure can write lyrics. Never mind that he was one of the most evocative vocalists of the '60s, who could turn a phrase as brilliantly well with his mouth as he could his pen. ...
Anthony Braxton & Fred Frith: Duo (Victoriaville)
by Kurt Gottschalk
Anthony Braxton and Fred Frith each have about as close a relationship to the Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville as just about any non-Canadians. The first release on Victo, the label run by the producers of the annual Canadian festival, was a guitar duo with Frith and Rene Lussier; the second was a duet ...

Anthony Coleman: Pushy Blueness
by Kurt Gottschalk
Anthony Coleman is such a dictionary of style and genre that he has been an invaluable sideman in the Downtown chronology for more than 25 years. His ability to adapt, reference and mimic gave breadth to the wide-eyed, nascent scene--and has also informed his own genre-busting projects. But anyone who has listened closely ...
George Lewis: Sequel (For Lester Bowie)
by Kurt Gottschalk
George Lewis' electronic excursions have looked good on paper for years. However, for whatever reason, they have seemed a hard nut for the trombonist to crack in performance--but 2006 has been a good year for him. In April he presented a piece for jazz sextet plus his own laptop as a part of the New York ...
Marco Cappelli: Extreme Guitar Project
by Kurt Gottschalk
The talented Italian guitarist Marco Cappelli's love affair with New York City began with a trip in 2002, which led to him commissioning a series of compositions for solo guitar. That set of pieces--the “Extreme Guitar Project --is a remarkable collection, allowing at once a variety of vantages of the composers, the interpreter and the guitar. ...
Oliver Lake: From Which Freedom Continues
by Kurt Gottschalk
It's not a term to toss around, but sometimes it fits. Oliver Lake, one could say with little worry of hyperbole, is a renaissance man. Best known as an original member of the longstanding World Saxophone Quartet, he is also an organizer with a sense for business--from founding the Black Artists Group (BAG) in St. Louis ...
