Trane in August: Lisbon's 2006 Jazz em Agosto
by Kurt Gottschalk
It's not often to be expected that John Coltrane might headline a jazz festival, at least not for some time now--or perhaps in spirit he headlines most of them. Either way, his presence was strongly felt during the Jazz em Agosto festival, held on the beautiful grounds of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Portugal. ...
John Zorn / Masada String Trio: Azazel
by Kurt Gottschalk
Of the various ensembles performing the Masada songbook under composer (and sometimes player) John Zorn's leadership, the Masada String Trio may not be the most exciting--it's hard to compete with horns and guitars--but it is the most beautiful. The sheer musicianship of the trio of violinist Mark Feldman, cellist Erik Friedlander and bassist Greg Cohen is ...

Long before the Steven Bernsteins and JA ...

Charles Mingus: Thrice Upon a Theme
by Kurt Gottschalk
In 1956, bassist, bandleader and composer Charles Mingus began an ascent that would carry him at least until the Town Hall debacle of 1962. The explosion of energy, passion and fury that he would exhibit over those six years could barely be predicted from the dozen or so records he'd already released--good records, but tame compared ...
Paul Lytton / Ken Vandermark / Philipp Wachsmann: Cinc
by Kurt Gottschalk
Chicago saxophonist Ken Vandermark is about as well known as a jazz fan as he is a jazz musician. With a breakneck release schedule (two discs is a slow year for him), he has found time to compose and lead his own bands while paying respect to his elders: tribute albums to Sonny Rollins, Rahsaan Roland ...
