Jason Robinson: The Two Faces of Janus
by Troy Collins
Currently serving as Assistant Professor of Music at Amherst College in Massachusetts, multi-reedist Jason Robinson originally obtained his Ph.D. in music from the University of California. A promising new arrival to the East Coast scene, Robinson's academic background imbues his episodic writing with an organically cohesive sensibility, while his years spent co-leading the longstanding bicoastal ensembles ...
Steve Lehman / Rudresh Mahanthappa: Dual Identity
by Mark F. Turner
Recorded live at Portugal's Braga Jazz Festival in 2009 Dual Identity features two leading sax innovators--Steve Lehman and Rudresh Mahanthappa--in a stunning performance. Their discographies are synonymous with the current environment of progressive jazz; music that stretches boundaries with fresh ideas in conceptualization (Lehman's spectral harmony experiments in Travail, Transformation, and Flow (Pi Recordings, 2009)) and ...
Stephan Crump: Reclamation
by Kurt Gottschalk
The 2006 debut of Stephan Crump's Rosetta (Papillon Sounds) was unusual in a number of ways, not least that it didn't seem to be trying to be unusual. The trio of upright bass, acoustic guitar and electric guitar played tightly woven, structured music, even without a drummer, and managed to find new ground in the shrinking ...
Stephan Crump: Reclamation
by Mark F. Turner
The dialog that began in 2005's Rosetta (Papillon Sounds) continues in Reclamation, as bassist Stephan Crump's Rosetta Trio--including guitarists Liberty Ellman and Jamie Fox--articulates a wealth of ideas. With music that is not easily categorized, the trio's influences are pandemic as Crump states “every bit of music and life that each member of the trio has ...

The quintet, although having undergone some significant changes since its previous disc, with bass guitarist Stomu Takeishi and multi-instrumentalist Elliot Humberto Kavee replacing cellist/trombonist Dana Leong and drummer Dafnis Prieto, ...

Liberty Ellman: Ophiuchus Butterfly
by AAJ Italy Staff
Liberty Ellman giunge al terzo disco da leader e il salto di qualità è evidente rispetto alle ottime potenzialità espresse in Tactiles. A differenza di quanto spesso accade coi lavori dei chitarristi, quest'incisione non è focalizzata sullo strumento a sei corde ma ha una prospettiva ampia e articolata, prettamente compositiva. Partner per alcuni anni di Henry ...
