Andre Matos: Fantasies Realized
by William Carey
There is no doubt that André Matos has chops to burn. Placed firmly in the tradition of John Abercrombie and Pat Martino, with a bit of Sonny Sharrock at moments, a lot of Berklee (College of Music) influence is readily apparent, but with a bit of headiness that also reflects the guitarist's time at the New ...

Take Five With Matt Slocum
by AAJ Staff
Meet Matt Slocum:Matt Slocum's multicolored traps--at times forceful or delicate, creatively painting varied tempos with the essence of swing--define the drummer's debut, Portraits. Hailing from St. Paul, Minnesota, Slocum's introduction carries forward the torch of patriarchs Max Roach and Elvin Jones amongst others, but he also carves out his own rhythmic patterns with young ...
Kurt Rosenwinkel: Reflections
by Stuart Broomer
Kurt Rosenwinkel has a well-earned reputation for aggressive guitar playing that's both rhythmically astute and harmonically exploratory, a talent that he's applied with Mark Turner and Brad Mehldau as well as with hiphop producer Q-Tip.

Ralph Bowen: Due Reverence
by Mark F. Turner
Thanks to an American Idol culture and any number of other circumstances, the jazz universe is filled with extremely bright, if lesser known stars, who are just as talented as their more noted constellations. Such is the case with saxophonist Ralph Bowen, a truly bad-ass player who has appeared on over 60 recordings as a sideman ...

Jeff Dayton-Johnson's Best of 2009
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Jazz Man of the Year honors go without a doubt to Rafael Gilbert of Spain, who attended a performance by Larry Ochs of the ROVA Saxophone Quartet at the Sigüenza Jazz Festival in December, and called the police to report that, whatever it was that Ochs was playing, it wasn't jazz. Ochs was asked to play ...
Kurt Rosenwinkel Standards Trio: Reflections
by AAJ Italy Staff
Reflections mette in evidenza il lato più mansueto e devozionale di Kurt Rosenwinkel, che in meno di un'ora si misura con una manciata di standard e ripropone il suo East Coast Love Affair," tratto dall'omonimo disco d'esordio del 1996. Il chitarrista americano è affiancato dai validissimi Eric Revis al contrabbasso e Eric Harland alla batteria, i ...
