Nat Janoff and Jake Schwartz: Live

Read "Live" reviewed by Walter Kolosky


A lot of professional guitar players are going to listen to this live album and determine they must abruptly change career paths. The playing is that good. There are truly only a handful of jazz players who can claim a unique voice on acoustic guitar. John Scofield once said that is why he doesn’t play it. ...

Miami Saxophone Quartet: Live

Read "Live" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone


Nowadays it seems that jazz ensemble saxophone playing is thought of as part of either the marching brass band tradition or the avant-garde.

Spring Heel Jack: Live

Read "Live" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Spring Heel Jack, which has spanned a remarkably diverse range of sounds since its coming out in 1995, recently turned toward jazz (or post-jazz) improvisation as a medium for expression.

Spring Heel Jack: Live

Read "Live" reviewed by Farrell Lowe


From the opening salvo of distorted electric guitar, there is little doubt that the latest release from Spring Heel Jack will be nothing short of a wild bundle of scabrous love. While this album consists of only two live pieces, both over thirty-five minutes long, this notorious group of individuals cover a vast emotional and musical ...
