A few months shy of 65, saxophonist Dave Liebman may be having the busiest time of his career, now in its fifth decade. In the past 12 months, nearly a dozen releases have demonstrated the tremendous stylistic breadth of a musical oeuvre that kicked into high gear in the early 1970s. On January 11, 2011, Liebman ...

Stan Sulzmann’s Neon Quartet: A New Fluorescence

Read "Stan Sulzmann’s Neon Quartet: A New Fluorescence" reviewed by Chris May


Neon QuartetCatch MeEdition Records2010 Among the albums released by British saxophonists in 2010, two at least are destined for the best-of-year lists. One is Nat Birchall's Guiding Spirit (Gondwana), the other is Catch Me by Stan Sulzmann's Neon Quartet. There are similarities. To varying degrees, each saxophonist takes John Coltrane's ...

Hubert Nuss: The Book of Colours

Read "The Book of Colours" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Music is a treat for the ears, for the sense of hearing. But are the borders separating the senses permeable? Can Red Garland's piano notes be said to “sparkle?" Can Paul Desmond's alto saxophone have the sound of a dry martini? Are these metaphors, perhaps, based to some extent on realities along a continuum of sensory ...

Dave Liebman: Live / As Always and Quest for Freedom

Read "Dave Liebman: Live / As Always and Quest for Freedom" reviewed by John Kelman


Quite possibly the hardest-working saxophonist--if not the hardest working musician, period--these days, not a month goes by when there doesn't seem to be a new release from veteran jazzer Dave Liebman.In the twelve months since autumn 2009 alone, Liebman has been spotted in freer terrain, collaborating with another active saxophonist, Evan Parker, ...

Ralph Alessi: Cognitive Dissonance

Read "Cognitive Dissonance" reviewed by John Kelman


For his Cam Jazz debut, trumpeter Ralph Alessi recruits two key players from his sadly overlooked Look (Between the Lines, 2007). But while ubiquitous bassist Drew Gress (Marc Copland, Claudia Quintet) is a mainstay of Cognitive Dissonance, pianist Andy Milne only guests on the knottily themed but swinging “Sir" and a quirkily, near-unrecognizable version of Stevie ...

Marc Copland Trio: Haunted Heart

Read "Haunted Heart" reviewed by John Kelman


Originally released in 2001, Marc Copland's Haunted Heart deserves re-examination and re-evaluation, as hatOLOGY brings one of the perennially undervalued pianist's most sublime trio recordings back into print. With the original subtitle--And Other Ballads--removed, those familiar with Copland's intimate approach will already know what to expect, especially with a trio that, in the early part of ...

Contact: Dave Liebman / John Abercrombie / Marc Copland / Drew Gress / Billy Hart: Five On One

Read "Five On One" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


If, indeed, albums are living breathing beings--and this might well be so--then the beating heart of Five on One, by the marvelous Contact ensemble, is “Lost Horizon," a mighty, burbling piece of music that appears to come from a cornucopia of modern sound. It is mysterious, magical and hypnotic, and brings waves of sound that lap ...

Mike Nock Trio: An Accumulation of Subtleties

Read "An Accumulation of Subtleties" reviewed by John Kelman


As fine as Mike Nock's recent releases have been--Meeting of the Waters (Jazzhead, 2007) and Live (ABC Jazz, 2004)--the New Zealand-born, Australian-based pianist's primary focus has been on larger ensembles. They may have provided Nock a broader textural palette with which to explore his always-compelling writing, but they've lacked the inherent intimacy and unfettered abandon possible ...
