Tim Berne: The Sevens
by Mark Corroto
After a period of silence, Tim Berne is back with a flurry of recorded activity. The composer/saxophonist released sessions in a binge manner from the mid-1980s through the mid-90s, first Columbia, then later JMT. He went on to start his own label Screwgun to document his activities and release long out-of-print music by himself and his ...
Sonny Simmons: Live - In Paris
by Mark Corroto
The story of the resurrection of saxophonist Sonny Simmons has been told and retold many times. Needless to say, his comeback recording Ancient Ritual in 1994 rekindled interest in his brand of Coltrane meets Ornette and Ayler music. Since then, he has recorded for the specialty jazz label CIMP and a nifty outward session The Cosmosamatics ...
Richard Moore: Now What Now
by Mark Corroto
“File under spoken word,” doesn’t quite describe the terrain we are traversing on Richard Moore’s Now What Now. The singer/songwriter teams up with percussionist Dave Storrs (The Tone Sharks, Boundary Issues, Rob Blakeslee, Rich Halley) and bassist Page Hundemer (The Tone Sharks, Whirled Jazz) for three days of philosophically based improvised music. Richard Moore ...
Arto Lindsay: Invoke
by Mark Corroto
Arto Lindsay’s music has always been deserving of Duke Ellington’s ‘beyond category’ classification. For a guitarist who has never learned to play his guitar, he has been making music since the “no wave” 1970s in the noisy band DNA, the 80s in Lounge Lizards, the Golden Palominos, and Lindsay’s pop band Ambitious Lovers. His music has ...
Barry Guy: Symmetries
by Mark Corroto
Bassist Barry Guy has stepped away from his London Jazz Composers Orchestra to perform in small group settings and perform solo. His associations with the old and the new of the avant-garde have him collaborating with among many, Evan Parker and Mats Gustafsson. His solo recordings for bass, date back to 1976 with Statements V-XI For ...
Peter Br: For Adolphe Sax
by Mark Corroto
With all the historical references to the 1967 recording For Adolphe Sax aside, this session burns with a passion for life and indefatigalbe vigor for musicmaking, as fresh as any working unit in jazz today. The systematic rediscovery and rerelease of long out-of-print free jazz by Atavistic's Unheard Music Series reassembles a roadway linking creative musicians ...
Giardullo/McPhee/Bisio/Tabbal: Shadow & Light
by Mark Corroto
The session Joe Giardullo planned for September 11, 2001 never happened. As the musicians assembled about 100 miles from the horrible destruction in New York, they contemplated scrubbing the recording. Giardullo had planned to model this recording after Dave Holland’s Conference Of Birds (ECM 1972) record with Barry Altschul, Sam Rivers and Anthony Braxton. The day ...
Ron Miles: Heaven
by Mark Corroto
You would not typically pair a trumpeter and guitarist in a jazz setting. Come to think of it, they aren’t typically paired in any other musical setting. Maybe that’s why these duets by Ron Miles and Bill Frisell are so refreshing. Heaven is trumpeter Ron Miles’ fourth release as a leader and third ...
Jeff Gauthier: Mask
by Mark Corroto
The “Goat" in violinist Jeff Gauthier's Goatette is the nickname he was tagged with as a child. His band Goatette, together since 1991, adds guitarist Nels Cline for this recording. Gauthier has been a regular collaborator with Nels and his drummer brother Alex Cline since the late-1970s in the ensemble Quartet Music, with deceased legendary bassist ...
Warren Byrd/David Chevan: This Is The Afro-Semitic Experience
by Mark Corroto
This Is The Afro-Semitic Experience, well maybe and I then ask where do you file it? Jazz? Jewish music? Or perhaps Gospel/Klezmer/Nigunim/Spiritual/Swing? I prefer under Duke Ellington’s good music/bad music categorization. This project of bassist David Chevan and pianist Warren Byrd brings together the musical traditions of Jewish-Americans and African-Americans to create a ...
