McGill / Manring / Stevens: What We Do
by John Kelman
"Leonard Feather is now officially spinning in his grave. That, at least, is what journalist Bill Milkowski claims in his liner notes to What We Do by guitarist Scott McGill, bassist Michael Manring and drummer Vic Stevens. One thing is clear: faint hearts beware and jazz police stay away. Listening to this trio, which is typically ...
Next Order: Live-Powered Nexus
by John Kelman
With this US debut, the Japanese twin-guitar progressive/fusion band Next Order shows just how small the world has become. Reflecting influences from Jeff Beck and John Scofield to Canterbury bands like Phil Miller's In Cahoots, Next Order still retains its own voice, largely due to the divergent styles of guitarists Yuji Muto and Takumo Seino. Of ...
Robert Fripp: Exposure
by John Kelman
When King Crimson co-founder/guitarist Robert Fripp disbanded the group in 1974, it seemed as though he'd grown tired of being its de facto leader. But he remained active, performing with artists as diverse as Brian Eno, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Hall & Oates and Blondie. While listeners who'd lost touch with him after King Crimson were ...
Secret Oyster: Sea Son
by John Kelman
For the second in a series of overdue CD reissues from the 1970s Danish progressive/fusion group Secret Oyster, The Laser's Edge has chosen 1975's Sea Son. In contrast to the through-composed approach of the 1976 ballet score of Vidunderlige Kælling, Sea Son accurately mirrors the unit's improvisation-centric live performances. Sea Son, Secret Oyster's second release, featured ...
World Drummers Ensemble: A Coat of Many Colors
by John Kelman
For those who think that percussion should be restricted to timekeeping, A Coat of Many Colors may come as something of a surprise. On the other hand, listeners familiar with Swiss percussionist Pierre Favre's Ensemble and his remarkable Singing Drums (ECM, 1984) will find the idea of a full programme from four percussionists much less of ...
Canvas Solaris: Penumbra Diffuse
by John Kelman
Music is all about growth, and sometimes that can come from the most unlikely places. Canvas Solaris emerged out of Georgia in 1999 as yet another death metal band on a heavily populated scene. While some might argue that the relentless aural assault of the genre makes it a challenge to differentiate many of its players, ...
Mike Melvoin Presents Dan Jaffe: Playing The Word
by Mark Corroto
A quick trip to Borders finds rows and rows of books about jazz history, biography and discography in the music section. Most of them will certainly help you fall asleep late at night. Give me the oral history of our music: the stories, the myths and the lies. Jazz is about the beat, and ...
Bill Bruford / Tim Garland: Earthworks Underground Orchestra
by John Kelman
Although jazz has left behind its America-centricity and become a more international language, a mysterious chasm still exists between the American and UK jazz scenes. For every artist like Kenny Wheeler who has achieved American recognition, a dozen others have not. But with Earthworks Underground Orchestra, drummer Bill Bruford and woodwind multi-instrumentalist Tim Garland narrow the ...
Robert Fripp: Love Cannot Bear: Soundscapes - Live in the USA
by John Kelman
If one indication of a musician's mettle is creating a distinctive voice, than King Crimson co-founder/erstwhile leader Robert Fripp has done enough to distinguish a multitude of artists. With each successive incarnation of Crimson (documented on The 21st Century Guide to King Crimson Volume One: 1969-1974 and Volume Two: 1981- 2003), he's not only created a ...
Secret Oyster: Vidunderlige Kaelling
by John Kelman
Secret Oyster--a supergroup in Denmark during its short lifespan in the mid-1970s, having emerged from the remnants of a number of other locally successful progressive rock bands--generally leaned more towards the fusion of Mahavishnu Orchestra, Nucleus, and Bitches Brew-era Miles. Still, when recruited to provide music for a Royal Danish Ballet project based on the erotic ...
