Duck Baker: Everything That Rises Must Converge

Read "Everything That Rises Must Converge" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

by Bruce Lindsay

Richard “Duck" Baker's four decade career as a guitarist has encompassed folk, ragtime, blues, jazz, and avant-garde improvisation. Everything That Rises Must Converge is firmly located within the latter genre--indeed, it's sub-titled “Free Jazz Guitar Solos"--but much of the music on this enjoyable record could only have been made by an artist with a firm grasp ...

Ralph Lalama Quartet: Energy Fields

Read "Energy Fields" reviewed by Woodrow Wilkins

by Woodrow Wilkins

Sometimes, small works better. That's evidenced by the plethora of jazz trio recordings released in 2008. One instrument can make a dramatic difference.

Ralph Lalama Quartet: Energy Fields

Read "Energy Fields" reviewed by Jim Santella

by Jim Santella

An exciting band with a firm melodic grasp, Ralph Lalama's quartet pours over musical themes with emphasis, as accents fall into place with angular motion and improvised forays push forcefully. The leader's suave tenor, John Hart's sultry guitar, Rick Petrone's driving acoustic bass and drummer Joe Corsello's rhythmic thunder combine gracefully to shape each tone poem ...

Read "Carmen Leggio Quartet" reviewed by John Barron

Steve Marcus: Steve Marcus Project

Read "Steve Marcus Project" reviewed by Ivana Ng

by Ivana Ng

Steve Marcus Project contains some of the tenor and soprano saxophonist's last recorded performances (he died in October 2005), but oddly opens with “Oleo, recorded by his sidemen--guitarist Bill Bickford, bassist Rick Petrone and percussionist Joe Corsello--without him. The fact that Marcus does not play on the first track sets a certain tone; one keeps expecting ...
