Wadada Leo Smith's Golden Quartet: Tabligh
by Kurt Gottschalk
Wadada Leo Smith's first Golden Quartet record came as a happy surprise during a burst of activity. The five albums he released on Tzadik from 1999 to 2002 focused largely on his beautifully serene, long-form compositions. But 2000's Golden Quartet seemed to mark not just a new standing band for the trumpeter but an exciting new ...

ShotXShot: Let Nature Square
by Kurt Gottschalk
The ShotXShot formula is a simple one. It follows the Ornette Coleman model of group improvisation on set themes, although its music doesn't sound like Coleman's harmolodics. It has a rolling, mellifluous sound, without Coleman's sharp angles. And rather than the sax/trumpet front line of Coleman's classic quartet, it has the twin saxophones of Bryan Rogers ...
Les Disques Victo
by Kurt Gottschalk
Victoriaville is a small prairie city 100 miles northeast of Montreal in Quebec. Its name--or the diminutive “Victo"--has become synonymous among a legion of faithful with the diverse music festival that happens there every May. It might not be the biggest festival the town of 40,000 sees every year--the summer “Retro" '50s fest probably pumps more ...
Anthony Coleman: Lapidation
by Kurt Gottschalk
After a recording career given over in large part to shtick and nostalgia, the last few years have seen a well-deserved spike for Anthony Coleman. His last two records for Tzadik showed him (on 2006's Pushy Blueness) as a strong composer and (also 2006, Shmutisige Magnaen: Coleman Plays Geburtig) a remarkable interpreter. Lapidation continues the documentation ...
Steve Harris Zaum: I hope you never love anything as much as I love you
by Kurt Gottschalk
With a background in jazz, improv, funk, rock and rhythm and blues it makes sense that Steve Harris' music didn't come off sounding like any one thing. The drummer, who died in January, 2008 at the age of 59, may have been as known for his efforts close to home as his recordings--he worked as Music ...

Joelle Leandre
by Kurt Gottschalk
Joelle Leandre has a huge voice. Not just a formidable singing voice, which can be friendly and frightening, charming and vulgar. And not only on her instrument which can be firmly grounded one moment and soar the next. Leandre's voice unabashedly carries conversation, carries it to unexpected places, making quick turns, never slowing down or backing ...
