by Gordon Marshall
Pete Robbins is all about balance, in temperament and as an artist. He produces a polished sound on his alto saxophone, with a light tone betraying corners of darkness and complexity. Already an accomplished leader at 31, he grafts his sound onto ensembles of varying sizes with aplomb and equanimity. His style as a leader is ...
On The Sunny Side Of Jazz

Tom Jones: Praise and Blame
by C. Michael Bailey
In his brilliant alternate reality novel, The Yiddish Policemen's Union (HarperCollins, 2007), Michael Chabon has a fellow Jewish detective tell plot-protagonist Meyer Landsman that, “it's a strange time to be a Jew."

Lenny White: Jazz/Rock Collides Again
by Carl L. Hager
When that cool, overcast dawn arrived in Bethel, New York, neither the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair's expired permit, nor the rain, mud, and technical problems could have kept Jimi Hendrix and his Band of Gypsys from playing. It was destiny. Believe it. A hundred miles south on that same morning of August ...
Dan Weiss: The Creative Absence of Egotism
by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.
The first time drummer/composer Dan Weiss is heard, there can be a perception of something inherently wrong with the music.

Because of his accent, people who come into his purlieu immediately assume an association with elite British improvisers. “Did he hang with Derek Bailey?" they wonder...I could say Vasylenko, a multi-reed and saxophonist now based in Boston, was John Butcher's and Evan Parker's kid brother. However, it ...

Mo'Fone: Sling Shot
by Ian Patterson
It must be challenging for Mo'Fone to secure gigs and, no doubt, many a venue refused them once the trio explained its lineup as two saxophones and drums. It's a setup sure to suggest an avant-garde trip or vaudeville novelty outing but the music on Sling Shot is, in fact, both tremendously listenable and serious. While ...
