Milford Graves/Bill Laswell: Space / Time - Redemption

Read "Space / Time - Redemption" reviewed by John Sharpe


Drummer Milford Graves boasts a pedigree stretching back to the first tide of Free Jazz in the 1960s, most prominently as the drummer for the storied New York Art Quartet. His infrequent forays onto disc since have resulted in underground classics such as Nommo (SRP, 1966) with pianist Don Pullen and Babi Music (IPS, 1976) with ...

Once again, TUM Records' lush packaging includes numerous photos, copious liner notes, and some uncannily prescient poetry by longtime Laswell associate Umar Bin Hassan. One of the photos shows Graves adjusting ...

The week for “Music Education Monday," we've got a different kind of master class for drummers.

Milford Graves/Bill Laswell: Space / Time - Redemption

Read "Space / Time - Redemption" reviewed by Budd Kopman


Music is a mysterious thing, and in a sense, all music that ever was and ever could be exists right now, just waiting for the right musician to bring it forth. Music is meant to be experienced and not merely listened to. Its power is in its emotional content which is conveyed to us ...

Frank Lowe: Out Loud

Read "Out Loud" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Musical archeology has become somewhat of a trend these days. It might be explained, in part by the rebirth of vinyl and the excavation of long out-of-print titles, but also there are scores of devoted collectors who've discovered unpublished recordings of significant artists. For the serially neglected avant-garde of jazz, some of these finds have been ...

Eric Zinman Devototionalien: Söllen uns in demut üben in harmony zu ieberlüben

Read "Söllen uns in demut üben in harmony zu ieberlüben" reviewed by Libero Farnè


Le note di copertina non riportano i titoli delle tre tracce che compaiono nel lettore CD: evidentemente si considera la performance, registrata dal vivo a Vienna nell'aprile 2009, come una suite in tre movimenti, l'irripetibile espressione di un flusso d'improvvisazione. Si sviluppa così una musica di forte impatto, antiaccademica, debitrice verso il free più ...

Borah Bergman/Kidd Jordan/William Parker/Michael Wimberly: Vita Brevis

Read "Vita Brevis" reviewed by John Sharpe


Vita Brevis represents maverick pianist Borah Bergman's last session before his death at age 85 in 2013.
