Ernest Dawkins' New Horizons Ensemble: The Prairie Prophet
by Troy Collins
Since 1978, saxophonist Ernest Dawkins has led his flagship band, The New Horizons Ensemble, through myriad jazz traditions, from blues, swing and funk to post-bop, avant-garde and beyond. The Prairie Prophet, their fifth album on Delmark, is dedicated to one of Chicago's most venerated scene leaders, the late tenor saxophonist Fred Anderson, a founding member of ...
Karl E. H. Seigfried: Portrait Of Jack Johnson
by Dan Bilawsky
Karl E.H. SeigfriedPortrait Of Jack JohnsonImaginary Chicago Records2010 Boxing and jazz don't seem like a natural fit, but the two disciplines share ideals at their cores. Both thrive on the unexpected and live as poetry in motion. Jazz musicians and boxers both work hard and long, spending ...
Introducing Anthony Braxton
by Robert Levin
[Editor's Note: This article first appeared in Jazz & Pop Magazine, 1970]To anyone still questioning the validity of the systems and methods at which Cecil Taylor and Ornette Coleman arrived, I would first of all recommend that he listen more attentively to the work of those men. But I'd also suggest that he make ...
Fred Anderson: Black Horn Long Gone
by Francis Lo Kee
Fred Anderson is one of today's most powerful and singular saxophonists. Recorded in 1993, this trio (with bassist Malachi Favors and drummer Ajaramu--aka AJ Shelton--who have both since passed away) flies blissfully to new heights for piano-less sax trios.

George Lewis: A Power Stronger Than Itself
by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.
As an improviser, educator and an explorer of musical expression, George Lewis has become one of the significant contributors towards the respect and recognition Jazz is finally receiving as one of America's most notable and distinguished cultural achievements. He recently published what I consider to be one of the most critical books on Jazz and African ...
Wadada Leo Smith / Jack DeJohnette: America
by Troy Collins
Originally proposed to ECM Records in 1979, the collaboration of trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith and drummer Jack DeJohnette has finally found new life in America. Recorded last year in Bill Laswell's New Jersey studio (but without his heavy-handed production aesthetic), this unadorned acoustic session documents two of the world's most versatile and virtuosic improvisers working through ...
Kahil El'Zabar's Ritual Trio: Ooh Live!
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sì e no, ma più no che sì. Definirlo una delusione sarebbe forse ingeneroso, ma di certo dall'incontro fra il Ritual Trio di Kahil El'Zabar e Pharoah Sanders era lecito aspettarsi di più. E invece la pubblicazione di Ooh Live!, registrato all'Hot House di Chicago nel settembre del 2000, consegna agli annali un disco piacevole, a ...
