Nate Radley: Morphoses

Read "Morphoses" reviewed by Budd Kopman

by Budd Kopman

Jazz keeps taking twists and turns, and the joy of hearing something completely new can instead turn into surprise. For Morphoses, guitarist Nate Radley has brought together his band mates from Bad Touch-- saxophonist Loren Stillman and drummer Ted Poor, along with bassist Matt Pavolka to produce an album of Americana filtered through a ...

Nate Radley: Morphoses

Read "Morphoses" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

It took Nate Radley a while to graduate from sideman/band member to leader, but The Big Eyes (Fresh Sound New Talent, 2012) was an impressive debut that called for a quick follow-up. Happily, Radley seems to be on a roll. Carillon (Steeplechase, 2013) pitted Radley alongside Ted Poor, Chris Cheek and Matt Clohesy on an eclectic ...

Matt Pavolka: The Horns Band

Read "The Horns Band" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

I played Matt Pavolka's The Horns Band for a friend who immediately noticed that the very impressive list of acknowledgements contained more nods to literary and intellectual heavyweights such as Jose Saramago, Cormac McCarthy and Soren Kierkegaard than to musicians (the band members and Guillermo Klein). Perhaps Pavolka's intent was to show that he's interested in ...

Nate Radley: Morphoses

Read "Morphoses" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

There are guitarists out there who seek to burn an impression of their work into ears and minds, and there are others who manage to make an impression simply by being themselves. Nate Radley falls into the second category. His music isn't forceful, but it still manages to make an impact. On Morphoses, ...

8th Annual Red Hook Jazz Festival Takes Place June 14 & 21 In The Urban Meadow

8th Annual Red Hook Jazz Festival Takes Place June 14 & 21 In The Urban Meadow

“The Red Hook Jazz Festival exists contentedly on the margins, like its namesake neighborhood and much of the music on its bill... The mood in the audience was neighborly, with a higher ratio of small children to youngish adults than I’ve seen at any musical event not expressly pitched as a kids’ show.” —Nate Chinen, New ...

Samo Salamon: 2Alto

Read "2Alto" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

by Hrayr Attarian

Slovenian guitarist Samo Šalamon is ever the intrepid adventurer of modern music. With each release he explores new sonic textures and harmonic ideas. The 2014 2 Alto on Steeplechase is no different. Šalamon combines his polyphonic guitar-work with the contrasting and complementary sounds of saxophonists Loren Stillman and John O'Gallagher and the propulsive beats of frequent ...

The David Ullmann 8: Corduroy

Read "Corduroy" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

I have to admit to suffering a bit of cognitive dissonance upon listening to David Ullmann's Corduroy. Ullmann's original compositions, expertly played by an ensemble comprised of Brooklyn's top-drawer modern jazz talent, are ostensibly inspired by television themes from the 70s. For me, 70s television themes evoke gritty, urban sounds full of clavinet, fuzz-wah Rhodes, funky ...

Loren Stillman + Bad Touch: Going Public

Read "Going Public" reviewed by Libero Farnè

by Libero Farnè

Evidentemente, come si può desumere da una serie di incisioni e concerti (vedi l'ultima edizione del festival di Saalfelden), ci troviamo di fronte ad una precisa tendenza estetica, in atto in America come in Europa: quella di rivisitare l'estetica e le modalità compositive e improvvisative del Cool storico (che era però più dinamico e spigoloso) e ...
