Ohad Talmor Trio: Mise En Place
by Mark Corroto
The cry was heard, “nobody said there was going to be math involved!" Sorry kids, the music heard on saxophonist Ohad Talmor's Mise En Place is in fact related to the abstract science of number, quantity, and space, and this is an upper level course on the intricate. Seven of the nine compositions were penned by ...

Stephane Payen / Ingrid Laubrock / Chris Tordini / Tom Rainey: All Set

All Set rekindles an alliance dating back to 2002 in London, where French saxophonist Stéphane Payen and German saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock first collaborated.

Jazz Musician of the Day: Lee Konitz
All About Jazz is celebrating Lee Konitz's birthday today! Konitz is sometimes regarded as the preeminent cool jazz saxophonist, because he performed and recorded with Claude Thornhill, Lennie Tristano (both often cited as important cool jazz proponents of the mid 1940s), and with Miles Davis on his epochal Birth of the Cool, which gave the form ...
Unscientific Italians: Frisellian Magic
by Ludovico Granvassu
If Italian film director Nanni Moretti had been born in 1973 instead of 1953, he might well have set the iconic Vespa ride through the empty streets of a languid, mid-August Rome in Caro Diario against a Bill Frisell rather than a Keith Jarrett soundtrack. Because if every era is defined by a limited ...

Murray Brothers: A Law Unto Themselves
by Ian Patterson
They are two of the most promising jazz musicians to have emerged from Ireland in some years. Bassist Conor Murray and twin brother Micheal Murray (alto saxophone) grew up with Irish traditional music in the small, Gaeltacht—Gaelic-speaking—town of Falcarragh, in County Donegal. Both discovered jazz in their early teens and have been regulars at the annual ...
Murray Brothers: Murrays Law
by Ian Patterson
Irish twins Connor Murray (bass) and Micheal Murray (alto saxophone) live by their own law. Murrays Law. It dictates that what can happen at the last minute will happen at the last minute. Yet their trajectory, since transitioning from Irish traditional music to jazz in their early teens, seems not so much cobbled together as carefully ...
