Mario Pavone: Totem Blues
by Glenn Astarita
Having spent several fruitful years performing with the late, great saxophonist/composer, Thomas Chapin amid numerous session dates, bassist/composer, Mario Pavone renders his third Knitting Factory Records release titled, Totem Blues.

Mario Pavone and Michael Musillami: Op-Ed
by AAJ Staff
After doing a bit of catching up with recent releases of older material on Playscape Recordings, Michael Musillami and Mario Pavone are stepping out again.

Pavone creates a magical soundworld through what for some other artists might be called chamber jazz, but Pavone makes his own “school” here, as it is neither ethereal nor ...
Mario Pavone/Michael Musillami: Motion Poetry
by AAJ Staff
While credited to bassist Mario Pavone and guitarist Musillami, Motion Poetry is truly a group effort. Their quartet (with pianist Peter Madsen and drummer Michael Sarin) enjoys a remarkable level of cohesion and energy. The demanding compositions on Motion Poetry (by Pavone and Musillami, as well as Thomas Chapin and Marty Ehrlich) require rock-solid on-the-spot tightness. ...
