Loren Connors / Jim O'Rourke: Two Nice Catholic Boys

Read "Two Nice Catholic Boys" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

Musicians who collaborate with Loren Connors have to be prepared to enter his world. Connors is fixed firmly in his own distended blues, in wandering, mournful melodies and heavy quiet noise. The meeting won't be based on rhythm or key or swapping chops but waves of emotion laid bare. Nobody (save Connors' wife, ...

Sax & Piano: David Murray and Mal Waldron; Ellery Eskelin and Sylvie Courvoisier

Read "Sax & Piano: David Murray and Mal Waldron; Ellery Eskelin and Sylvie Courvoisier" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

Part of what makes David Murray one of the greatest jazz saxophonists there is is the way he has of making everything seem so effortless. Long, rich, rolling lines seem to flow with ease from his horn. It's that quality that makes a small portion of his enormous discography all the more special. Once in a ...

Matthew Shipp Trio: Harmonic Disorder

Read "Harmonic Disorder" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

It's been ten years since Thirsty Ear tempted Matthew Shipp out of his recording exile, and in that time he has not only made some of his most adventurous recordings for the label but has proven to be a daring A&R man as well. Now, a decade in, he seems to be circling back on his ...

Noah Howard: The Black Ark

Read "The Black Ark" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

Noah Howard's 1969 album The Black Ark has, in an unintended way, lived up to its name in recent years.
