S.O.S.: Looking for the Next One
by John Kelman
With more and more archival “finds" hitting the shelves--real or virtual--it's becoming increasingly difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. Just because an old, long considered lost recording has resurfaced doesn't inherently make it worthy of release: sometimes the sound isn't up to snuff--though, if it's a stellar performance, that can sometimes be forgiven--but other ...

The Fire, Regardless
by Nic Jones
If considered together a couple of recent archival releases (The 100 Club Concert 1979 (Reel Recordings, 2012), by saxophonist Elton Dean's Ninesense and Mike Osborne Trio The Birmingham Concert (Cadillac, 2012), by the Mike Osborne Trio) and one reissue (Wilderness of Glass ((Awake, 2012), by Triton) remind us of how creative improvised music happens, regardless of ...
Mike Osborne Trio: The Birmingham Jazz Concert

L'altosassofonista inglese Mike Osborne è stato uno degli interpreti principali di quella irripetibile stagione che ha visto crescere e svilupparsi il jazz inglese tra gli anni '60 e '70, in compagnia di tanti altri musicisti, molti dei quali ancora oggi calcano le scene con successo, come John Surman, Kenny Wheeler, John Taylor e Mike Westbrook, tanto ...
Cuneiform Records: Growing Progressive Music for 27 Years
by Mark Redlefsen
Twenty seven years is a long time for a niche progressive music label such as Cuneiform Records not just to survive, but to remain inventive and, in the best sense, ambitious. Steve Feigenbaum founded Cuneiform back in 1984, and with his wife, Joyce, runs it from Silver Springs, Maryland. Hosting bands such as Universe Zero, digging ...
Mike Westbrook: Art Wolf at 75
by Duncan Heining
Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine a jazz composer who began with Ellington and then moved on through Mingus. He soon encompassed rock music, Kurt Weill, Rossini, the traditions of English church music and the pastoralism of Vaughan Williams and Holst, but still found a place in his music for The Beatles, European political cabaret ...
John Surman: Flashpoint: NDR Jazz Workshop - April '69
by Nic Jones
In the necessarily modestly expansive booklet note which accompanies this CD and DVD set, Brian Morton sets out the development of jazz in Britain, from its point of origin in the early decades of the twentieth century. He also rightly identifies the musical generation that came of age in the 1960s as having no sense of ...
John Surman: Flashpoint: NDR Jazz Workshop - April '69
by John Kelman
1969 was a watershed year for John Surman. He released his eponymous debut on Dutton Vocalion that year, but it was the recording session for How Many Clouds Can You See? (Vocalion, 1970), that made the year of Woodstock and man's first steps on the moon so portentous for the 25 year-old saxophonist An album effortlessly ...
Ken Wheeler & The John Dankworth Orchestra: Windmill Tilter
by Nic Jones
It's easy to forget how long Canadian-born Kenny Wheeler has been making music. This, the first of his infrequent large ensemble recordings, was originally released back in 1969, and some thirteen years prior to that he was working in the quintet of baritone saxophonist Buddy Featherstonhaugh. Windmill Tilter offers the best of both ...
