Peter Brotzmann: Lost & Found
by Mark Corroto
Lost & Found finds iconic free jazz reedman Peter Brötzmann recording both solo and live for the first time ever. Throughout the 50-plus years of music-making, his live recordings are probably the best at capturing the essence of this great man's passion; and further, hearing him without accompaniment is a direct line into his thoughts.
Peter Brötzmann: A Night In Sana'a
by Mark Corroto
Reaching across cultures is nothing new for jazz artists, and certainly jazz (by definition) is the amalgamation of ethnic European, African, Afro-Cuban and American blues music. With this recording by free jazz patriarch Peter Brötzmann in Yemen, the junction is not only of different cultures but of different centuries. Record label chief Uli Armbruster ...
ROPE: Fabrizio Puglisi / Stefano Senni / Zeno De Rossi: Saints And Sinners
by Mark Corroto
All jazz trios are charged with the command to “make it new," and very few accomplish that directive. Some impersonate the giants of jazz, while others play a parody--massacring styles in the name of modernizing the sound. Neither is the case for the trio known as ROPE. Pianist Fabrizio Puglisi, bassist Stefano Senni, and drummer Zeno ...
Dave Douglas Tiny Bell Trio: Constellations
by Mark Corroto
With trumpeter Dave Douglas' 21st century star continuing to rise, the hatOLOGY reissue of his Tiny Bell Trio recording Constellations serves as a reminder of the not too distant past. Hearing Douglas, guitarist Brad Shepik, and drummer Jim Black circa 1995 provides the context in which to consider their more recent efforts. At the time of ...
Nicolas Christian/ Matt Milton/ Eddie Prevost/ Bechir Saade/: A Church Is Only Sacred To Believers
by Mark Corroto
Extraordinary free improvisation (and let's face it, the word “extraordinary" is used far too often these days) tends to be sound that reinvents the significance or implications of music. These days, whenever percussionist Eddie Prévost is involved in the process, the extraordinary becomes the custom. The session in London grew out of Prévost's regular ...
Chad Eby: Broken Shadows
by Mark Corroto
Attention grabbing music these days is either accomplished by the loudest voice (American Idol anybody?) or the rudest performance. While not saying jazz has descended to that level, certainly the squeakiest wheel often gets the most attention. Then again, hearing a genuine voice like saxophonist Chad Eby reaffirms the instinct that an authoritative performance from a ...
Evan Parker: House Full Of Floors
by Mark Corroto
For three stalwarts of the British improvising scene, saxophonist Evan Parker, guitarist John Russell, and bassist John Edwards, getting together for an improvised recording was as natural as three old friends meeting for a round of golf, or possibly a hike in the countryside. Their approach to music making and improvisation is openly conversant ...
Samo Salamon Trio: Live!
by Mark Corroto
A continual selection for guitarist deserving wider recognition, Slovenian Samo Salamon releases a live recording with his core trio of Italian drummer Roberto Dani and tubaist/bassist Michel Godard. Salamon posted notice of his talent with Mamasaal (Dometra, 2009), with saxophonist Mark Turner, Government Cheese (FSNT, 2007), with saxophonist David Binney, Kei's Secret (Splasc(H), 2006), ...
Joe McPhee / Peter Brotzmann / Kent Kessler / Michael Zerang: The Damage Is Done
by Mark Corroto
This live date features legendary free jazz pioneers Peter Brötzmann and Joe McPhee, and Chicago's leading rhythm section, bassist Kent Kessler and drummer Michael Zerang. The four also make up 4/10 of Brötzmann's Chicago Tentet, maybe the most successful large new music jazz ensemble ever assembled. As they have in the past while touring ...
Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Accomplish Jazz
by Mark Corroto
In the jazz world, there is something in the air. Barely detectable, but definitely something in the air these days. A whiff of change (or maybe the decay of traditions decomposing). It can be heard in the music the young lions (YL) are playing. These YLs are more like the Lee Morgan/Wayne Shorter YLs of the ...
