Made in America
by David Adler
America has responded to September 11 in song, and it hasn’t necessarily been pretty. From the MTV generation came a contrived all-star remake of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Goin’ On," with new rap lyrics courtesy of, among others, Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst ("I can’t be watchin’ people die!"). And from the heart of Middle America came Lee ...
Matthew Shipp Trio: ICA Boston 12/15/01
by AAJ Staff
A simple gesture can convey profound symbolic meaning. Matthew Shipp, at the crest of a soaring run on the piano, reaches up into the wood beyond the keys for notes that aren't there. William Parker, deep in eyes-closed meditation, lifts his left leg and shifts his weight into the bass. Whit Dickey swivels his head round ...

by Robert Krevolin
(from JamBase.com)New York City’s 55 Bar has a legendary story. Some fact, some fiction.

Feferfonix Orchestra | Tonic, December 26, 2001 Avram Fefer-tenor and alto saxophones; Igal Foni-drums
by A. Henkin
The saxophone and drum duet has been relatively common to jazz since 1967's Interstellar Space. What initially seems like a limiting format actually has many possibilities. Within the past year, three vastly different interpretations have performed in New York: the freeform blowout of David S. Ware and Rashied Ali; the much quieter and spacey duo of ...
