Live From The Allen Room: Thurston Moore, tUnE-yArDs, John Mayall & John Hammond
by Martin Longley
Thurston Moore The Allen Room February 2, 2012 It's impossible to escape the aura of respectable tradition that surrounds Lincoln Center's annual American Songbook series. The very concept evokes an established Broadway-and-beyond form that lies at the heart of U.S. popular music. The majority of the artists presented in ...
Sean Noonan, Richard Bona & Sugar Pie DeSanto
by Martin Longley
Sean Noonan & Pavees Dance The Douglass Street Music Collective December 15, 2011 It might seem as though drummer/composer Sean Noonan was enjoying a quiet year in 2011, playing fewer gigs than usual. The reality is that he's been busy scribing new works, in preparation for a twin album ...

by Martin Longley
The Dave Douglas/Donny McCaslin Key Motion Quintet Jazz Standard December 8, 2011 This was the first of four Dave Douglas nights at the Jazz Standard, each of them highlighting a different performance perspective.

by Martin Longley
Perry Robinson/Diane Moser/Max Johnson The University Of The Streets August 30, 2011 Native New Yorker Perry Robinson is not one of the better known free improvisers, but his stature is no less significant as a result.

Ches Smith, Tyshawn Sorey & Roy Haynes
by Martin Longley
Ches Smith & These Arches The Stone August 30, 2011 John Zorn's Stone was pretty much sold out for this single set by drummer Ches Smith's five-piece band. That's 74 folks crammed into a thankfully air-conditioned zone. The reason that the normally silenced A/C was allowed to thrum is ...
