Marty Ehrlich: Song

by David Adler
November 1, 2001

Reedsman Marty Ehrlich enlists pianist Uri Caine, bassist Michael Formanek, and drummer Billy Drummond for this lyrical, swinging, accessible set. After opening with Robin Holcomb’s melancholy “Waltz" (a feature for Ehrlich’s brilliant bass clarinet), the quartet embarks on a trilogy of Ehrlich-penned pieces. “The Price of the Ticket," inspired by James Baldwin, begins with a beautifully ...

Ehrlich/Dresser/Cyrille: C/D/E

by AAJ Staff
June 1, 2001

At some point in its history, free jazz differentiated into two forms: chamber music-style improvisation and in-your-face adventurism.

And with the equally prominent rhythm section consisting of drummer Bobby Previte and bassist Jerome Harris, ...

Ehrlich/Erskine/Formanek: Relativity

by David Adler
January 1, 2000

The names alone recommend this CD. Multi-woodwind maven Marty Ehrlich has long been a fixture of New York’s downtown avant-garde circle. Peter Erskine was a superstar fusion drummer in the 70s and 80s and remains a very important jazz voice, steadily developing his capabilities as a straight-ahead/free player and composer. Michael Formanek, a quiet presence on ...
