Darius Jones: Man'ish Boy (A Raw & Beautiful Thing)
by John Sharpe

His first appearance of note was at the 2008 Vision Festival, as part of trumpeter Lewis Barnes' Hampton Roads, confirming that Virginia native Jones was indeed the real McCoy. This debut recording with his own ...

Jazz Guitarist Joe Morris Does It His Way
By Tad Hendrickson A jazz artist who balances a sharp ear for melody with an intellect inspired by improvisation's outer reaches, Joe Morris is part of a community of musicians who play what has been called the downtown jazz, avant-garde, free jazz or even just free music scenes.

David S. Ware Quartet: Live in Vilnius

by John Sharpe
When the collective of drummer Whit Dickey, pianist Eri Yamamoto, and horn player Daniel Carter held sway at the Vision Festival in June 2009 they built tension to unbearable levels that built up to a cathartic resolution.

On The Secret Song he mixes dub, reggae, rock, classical, world, electronic and, well, jazz into a jazz thing. Spooky's reflections on the financial and world meltdown ...
Matthew Shipp: Un Piano
by AAJ Italy Staff
A una recente, peraltro ottima, esibizione di Matthew Shipp in trio, mi è capitato di cogliere il commento vagamente ironico di uno spettatore che sosteneva “beh, si poteva fare a meno della sezione ritmica, bastava come ha suonato da solo". L'annotazione, certamente ingenerosa sia nei confronti degli altri musicisti che verso l'attitudine all'interplay del pianista, è ...
Alexander Hawkins Ensemble at the Vortex, London
by John Sharpe
Alexander Hawkins Ensemble The Vortex London, England August 10, 2009 If you can judge a person by the company he keeps, then pianist Alexander Hawkins must be someone to watch given his musical associations, both actual and virtual.

by Mark Corroto
Miles Davis certainly smiled on musical innovations. Years ago, to keep up with the latest, all that was required was to check out what the late trumpeter was investigating. With Miles gone, the hunt maybe a bit more difficult, but then again Peter Gordon's Thirsty Ear label, under the creative direction of pianist Matthew Shipp, has ...
