Anthony Braxton: Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978
by Troy Collins
The 1970s were an exceedingly fertile time period for composer Anthony Braxton, whose considerable output was primarily documented by Arista Records, including his Creative Orchestra Music, which encapsulated the entire history of jazz--from Scott Joplin to Albert Ayler. One of these albums, the seminal Creative Orchestra Music 1976, was recently reissued as part of Mosaic Records' ...
Got Bass Clarinet? Jason Stein Does
by Mark Corroto
In the short history of jazz--only about 110 years--the bass clarinet has had an even shorter existence. Students of Charles Darwin's evolutionary studies might point towards the adaption of the instrument into the new jazz of the 1960s; or perhaps the branch of evolution studies called biogeography might explain that fertile locations spawn growth in the ...
Marty Ehrlich Rites Quartet: Things Have Got To Change
by AAJ Italy Staff
Things Have Got to Change del quartetto del sassofonista Marty Ehrlich è il secondo disco nel giro di pochi mesi, dopo il fantastico Historicity di Vijay Iyer, a contemplare nella propria scaletta un capolavoro negletto del jazz contemporaneo come “Dogon A.D." di Julius Hemphill. In questo caso la circostanza non dovrebbe sorprendere più di tanto, dal ...
James Weidman: Three Worlds
by Donald Elfman
Three Worlds is the product of a thoughtful musical soul. Pianist James Weidman is well-versed in the traditional and modern jazz vocabulary and has found ways of deftly incorporating what's he's heard into his playing and composing. And here he adds color to his pianistics with melodica and the exotic xaphoon, a single-reed keyless bamboo wind ...
Bobby Bradford: Self-Determination in the Great Basin
by Clifford Allen
Born in Cleveland, Mississippi in 1934 and raised between Dallas and Los Angeles, trumpeter Bobby Bradford began playing with Ornette Coleman in Los Angeles in the 1950s, and replaced Don Cherry in an unrecorded Coleman quartet during the early 1960s. However, the most significant partnership in Bradford's musical life was with the clarinetist and composer John ...

Marty Ehrlich: Things Have Got To Change
by Stuart Broomer
The clarity that's so immediately apparent in Marty Ehrlich's alto sound permeates his work, so that there's a quality at once naked and luminous in the music heard here. The quartet with trumpeter James Zollar, cellist Erik Friedlander and drummer Pheeroan akLaff and the concept harkens back to the early Ornette Coleman Quartet, each member committed ...
Marty Ehrlich Rites Quartet: Things Have Got To Change
by Troy Collins
One of the seminal artists of the New York Loft jazz scene, composer and multi-instrumentalist Julius Hemphill (1938-1995) left a diverse legacy that lives on through the tireless efforts of saxophonist Tim Berne and multi-instrumentalist Marty Ehrlich. Hemphill's earthy forays with cellist Abdul Wadud in the early seventies broke new stylistic ground, unapologetically drawing inspiration from ...
