Anthony Braxton: 9 Compositions
by Marc Medwin
It is the MO of this listener/writer, or, as Anthony Braxton puts it, this “friendly experiencer, to attempt to bring the reader into individual moments of a performance. The present set does not allow such an approach, or, rather, it renders the approach superfluous. Here, we are presented with almost ten hours of music in which, ...

Adam Lane: New Magical Kingdom
by Marc Medwin
It is standard rhetorical practice to speak of new ground being broken, of barriers being dissolved and of all melding with clarity into a singular vision, but there's increasingly little room for such claims to be made, even less for them to be taken seriously. This newest offering from the always interesting bassist and composer Adam ...

Cuneiform Records
by Marc Medwin
"I've spent 23 years trying to disappoint people--I love doing that," Cuneiform frontman Steve Feigenbaum laughs, but there's a lot of truth to the quip. Since the spring of 1984, the small but prolific label has been thwarting expectation in or near or in-between a number of genres, that misunderstood and mislabeled beast known as “prog" ...
Roscoe Mitchell: No Side Effects
by Marc Medwin
Very few musicians have made a first statement like Roscoe Mitchell's Sound, recorded for Delmark in 1966. Like the proverbial big bang's reverberations, all of his subsequent work consists of gestures from but not confined to that era and the freedom it fostered.

George Graewe / Ernst Reijseger / Gerry Hemingway: Continuum
by Marc Medwin
This trio of pianist Georg Graewe, cellist Ernst Reijseger and percussionist Gerry Hemingway was an active aggregate in the early '90s.
