Joshua Breakstone/The Cello Quartet: 88
by Mark Sullivan
Veteran guitarist Joshua Breakstone pays tribute to some of his favorite pianist/composers here. He tells a story about a fellow Berklee student (a saxophonist) who asked legendary saxophonist Sonny Stitt if he could sit in. Stitt shut him down with the question “how many keys on a saxophone?" The novice couldn't answer--there are 23--but everyone knows ...

On this ambitious recording, keyboardist Richard Sussman draws together several seasoned jazz veterans with the Sirius Quartet for a stimulating, genre-defying album of music. Built around Sussman's five-part “Evolution Suite," the record's guiding theme is also a gesture toward the transcendence of stylistic boundaries that animates Sussman's music. By utilizing conventional jazz, fusion, contemporary classical and ...

by John Kelman
Jack DeJohnette's DirectionsNew RagsECM Records1977 Today's Rediscovery is an album that, despite never being released officially on CD, is a relatively regular play chez Kelman, getting spun at least a couple times every year.

Joshua Breakstone: With the Wind and the Rain
by Maurizio Zerbo
L'atipica formazione, chitarra/basso/batteria con violoncello, potrebbe far pensare a digressioni cameristiche. Si impone invece una gioiosa pratica jazzistica per via del quarto strumento utilizzato con le medesime funzioni di chitarra e contrabbasso. Nel solco di una tradizione che annovera diversi maestri (su tutti Oscar Pettiford), si impone superbamente il contrabbassista Mike Richmond qui impiegato solo al ...

Stan Getz: I'm Gonna Blow the Walls Down
by Bob Kenselaar
[The music that Stan Getz made over the years was consistently moving and powerful. But he was probably putting me on a little when he said he was going to “blow the walls down" in New York for a series of shows early in 1979. When someone gives you a headline like that, though, you go ...
