Malachi Thompson: The Evolution of Jazz and the Survival of Our Democratic Society
by AAJ Staff
I've written about jazz as a model for American democracy before, but only in passing. However, in light of voting rights issues that arose during the 2000 presidential election, the events surrounding the 9/11 attacks and what's most important---our government's response to those events---it dawned upon me that “Now's The Time" (Charlie Parker) for deeper reflection ...
Malachi Thompson & Africa Brass: Blue Jazz
by Jeff Stockton
Malachi Thompson's Africa Brass project embodies all the variety and complexity of his Chicago home base: the urban experience of African Americans transplanted from the rural south; the blending of blues and jazz as musicians stepped out of juke joints and onto the stages of supper clubs; the respect for tradition tempered by the desire for ...

Arguably his ...

The heresy lives! The jazz establishment (Dr. They) would have one believe that jazz music--a cadaver best appreciated with scalpel in hand while donning a coroner’s smock--died with the innovations of the ‘60s. On his latest Delmark release, trumpeter Malachi Thompson has as a not-so-ulterior motive illustrating that jazz, in its free manifestation, continues as a ...
Malachi Thompson: Talking Horns
by Mark Corroto
The good news is trumpeter Malachi Thompson mixes multiple styles and approaches on his latest release. But that is also the bad news. Thompson packs a wealth of music into his discs. As with his earlier Delmark projects; New Standards (1993), Buddy Bolden’s Rag (1995), and Free-bop Now! (1999), Thompson’s eclecticism informs us of jazz history, ...
