Tony Malaby: Paloma Recio
by Mark Corroto
To use a rock 'n' roll analogy, saxophonist Tony Malaby is the Mick Jagger to Joe Lovano's Paul McCartney. It's not that anyone has to choose sides, but if the classic Paul Motian band (featuring Lovano) was The Beatles, then Malaby's Paloma Recio quartet is the Rolling Stones. Without having to choose sides, Paloma ...
Herb Robertson: Abandon in the Moment
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Amid a whorl of scraped cello, tenor sax squawks, and bass clarinet blats, trumpeter Herb Robertson paused, his eyes closed in concentration. With NSA-like hearing ability, he pierced the action with a bracing note that crystallized the unfurling improvisation. The intent listening and bold responses displayed during saxophonist Lotte Anker's January show at The Stone typify ...

Ray Anderson
by Martin Longley
The trombonist Ray Anderson inhabits two simultaneous worlds. He's dedicated to exploring new vocabularies at the furthest reaches of what folks call jazz music, making his initial mark with fellow Chicagoan Anthony Braxton in the late '70s. He's also deeply attuned to the New Orleans roots of the music, reveling in the very vocal nature of ...
Open Loose: Strange Unison
by AAJ Italy Staff
Per qualche strana ragione, il trio Open Loose del contrabbassista Mark Helias non gode della fama che spetterebbe ad un trio di questo calibro. Una lacuna che riflette quanto avviene, sul piano individuale, con i singoli componenti del gruppo. Tutti ottimi musicisti. Anzi, fantastici musicisti. E però, quando si parla di grandi contrabbassisti quasi mai compare ...

BassDrumBone: The Line Up
by AAJ Italy Staff
Un ménage a trois consolidato e sempre vivo quello tra Mark Helias, Gerry Hemingway e Ray Anderson, semplicemente BassDrumBone, a sottolineare con essenzialità che non c'è bisogno di dire molto altro. D'altronde, basta fare due conti: sono ormai trent'anni che i tre artisti hanno deciso di incrociare i propri destini musicali - a partire proprio da ...
