Marc Ribot: Live In Tokyo

Read "Live In Tokyo" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Art be damned, let's dance. If you are of a certain age, let's say the baby boomer generation, then the vintage sounds of Philadelphia soul are imprinted on your brain. The 1970's began with The O'Jays “Back Stabbers," which you might have heard on Dick Clark's American Bandstand, a show that originated in Philly, or perhaps ...

È il caso di questi Ergo (che hanno anche un sito che si chiama “ergo ...

Ingrid Laubrock/Tom Rainey: Buoyancy

Read "Buoyancy" reviewed by Mark Corroto


In baseball it's called “small ball." That might be the best way to describe the improvising duo of saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and drummer Tom Rainey. Small ball baseball teams win, not by home run blasts, but by putting runners in scoring position, bunting, and stealing bases. Flamboyant rarely wins the series. Confident, often understated play, is ...

Tom Rainey Trio: Hotel Grief

Read "Hotel Grief" reviewed by Stefano Merighi


Se c'è Tom Rainey dietro i tamburi, state certi che la musica palpita, veleggia, s'impenna. Che sia un piano-trio jazz (Kenny Werner, Fred Hersch, Kris Davis) o un gruppo a composizione stratificata e complessa (Tim Berne), oppure un gioco di libera improvvisazione (i Lark, Tony Malaby), il drumming di Rainey è garanzia di sorpresa, tensione drammatica, ...

9th Annual Red Hook Jazz Festival To Be Held Across Two Sundays In Brooklyn's Urban Meadow, June 12 & 19 From 1-6pm

“The Red Hook Jazz Festival exists contentedly on the margins, like its namesake neighborhood and much of the music on its bill…The mood in the audience was neighborly, with a higher ratio of small children to youngish adults than I’ve seen at any musical event not expressly pitched as a kids’ show.” —Nate Chinen, New York ...
