Cold Bleak Heat: It
by Mark Corroto
One of my favorite lines from the old Monty Python television series was the response to a request for a skit to end. After the actor states “That's it, I've had enough, Graham Chapman replies in his matter-of-fact British way, “No you haven't. And the mayhem continues. Several times while spinning It's Magnificent, But ...
William Parker: Luc's Lantern
by Mark Corroto
You might not get bassist William Parker to agree, but his music has always focused on assemblage and order. You can hear it in the large congregations of his Little Huey Creative Music Ensemble or his work with Cecil Taylor and Peter Brötzmann. His internal logic always is expressed by his sheer will and determination to ...
John O'Gallagher's Axiom: Line Of Sight
by Mark Corroto
Years after the saxophone battles had ended, musicians have taken to reenacting them in safe environments, far from the bloodletting bandstands they once occupied. Cutting contests are now cooperative ventures. And, yes Virginia, we all win. This second release by John O'Gallagher's Axiom band presents his ongoing study of the dynamics of two-horn classical/jazz ...
Jon Mueller: What's Lost Is Something Important. What's Found Is Something Not Revealed
by Mark Corroto
From the “it must be music, because this ain't no painting" department comes a new solo release from percussionist Jon Mueller. The one-time member of Pele, Collections of Colonies of Bees, and Raccoons and collaborator with Bhob Rainey and Jack Wright recorded this thirty-two and a half minutes of sound. It comes with instructions ...
Ravi Coltrane: In Flux
by Mark Corroto
You have to admire saxophonist Ravi Coltrane. He has never utilized his famous name for a payday. As the son of the late John Coltrane, he could have sold out to either the giant stepping fans or taken up with the interstellar avant-garde path. He choose a quieter and more subtle route. In Flux ...
More Great Music From Clean Feed
by Mark Corroto
The Clean Feed record label is as eclectic a label as it is an authentic jazz voice. Based in Lisbon Portugal, yes you heard me Lisbon, Clean Feed presents American, European, and world jazz voices separately and, many times, in collaboration. Below is a taste of their latest offerings. Bernardo Sassetti Indigo ...
Ben Wolfe: My Kinda Beautiful
by Mark Corroto
What do you have when you make a soundtrack recording that has no film? Is it a concerto? Maybe. But in these days of digital downloads and ADD (or is it DHTV?) we sometimes forget about the concept of an entire album of music. Remember that Ellington made them, and so did Coltrane. Bassist Ben Wolfe ...
Bill Frisell: Richter 858
by Mark Corroto
Commissioned to create music for a book project on the German painter Gerhard Richter, guitarist Bill Frisell opened his book of guitar techniques to enhance the painter's art. Given instructions and eight Richter images, Frisell composed pieces for the 858 Strings Trio of Jenny Scheinman, Eyvind Kang, and Hank Roberts, a unit which can ...
Drechsler/Steger/Tanschek Trio: The Monk In All Of Us
by Mark Corroto
Remember when you first encountered Thelonious Monk's music? His compositions came at you from such a new perspective that you might have rejected them flat out. Or perhaps, interest piqued, you listened to more, succumbing to Monk's logic. Yes, now you are a member of Monk's world. One with crazy dances and headgear, a ...
Radar: Easy Listening
by Mark Corroto
The tempo you might expect from new music made in Japan is certainly not what you get from the trio known as Radar. In fact, their fresh approach to music making transcends geography and genre. The trio of horn (mostly soprano saxophone), bass, and piano plays hesitating tunes, paced by experimentation and plenty of ...
