Satoko Fujii: Undulation, Live!!, Maru & Kobe Yee!!
by Bill Bennett
This cornucopia of pianist Satoko Fujii's large ensemble work is a daunting package. It's heavy in more ways than one. Four full-length CDs, three of them over an hour in length and one clocking in at 52:31, plus a simultaneously released concert DVD, add up to one heck of a portion of adventurous music to digest ...
New Exit From Brooklyn: Chris Speed's Skirl Records
by Troy Collins
In April of 2006, Brooklyn resident and multi-instrumentalist Chris Speed launched his new artist-run independent label, Skirl Records. Six months in and the label already boasts four titles, with at least another one or two tentatively planned for release before the end of the year. As a document of the fertile Brooklyn scene, Skirl has few ...
John Tchicai: Two New Trios
by Eyal Hareuveni
The Danish-American saxophonist John Tchicai, now resident in France, should need no introduction. He began building his reputation forty years ago on John Coltrane's Ascension (Impulse!, 1965), and even now, at over seventy years old, he's still going strong. On two fine new releases--Witch's Scream, recorded in New York in September 2004, and Good Night Songs, ...

The Jazz Crusaders: At The Lighthouse / The Cannonball Adderley 5tet: Why Am I Treated So Bad! / Stan Kenton: Sophisticated Approach
by AAJ Italy Staff
The Jazz Crusaders At The Lighthouse Capitol Records (2006 - distr. EMI) Valutazione: 3 stelle Prima di divenire uno dei migliori gruppi in assoluto del panorama soul-jazz, i Crusaders vantavano una ragguardevole discografia sul piano strettamente jazzistico. La strada intrapresa dal quintetto andava nella direzione di un hard-bop frizzante e ritmicamente vivace ma scarsamente originale. La ...
Fusion Guitar: Joel Newton Situation & Green Light
by Mark F. Turner
These two releases are good examples of groups that are shedding the stereotypical techno-wizardry image of guitar-based fusion bands. Sure, there's instrumental virtuosity, but there's also something for listeners who want more than that. Joel Newton Situation Crying And Laughing Self Produced 2006 The ...
Iowa Blues: Bo Ramsey and Greg Brown
by Eyal Hareuveni
Iowan guitarist Robert Franklin 'Bo' Ramsey is usually associated with the revered Iowan folksinger Greg Brown. He's played on and produced Brown's releases since 1990. He also notably co-produced blues singer Lucinda Williams' Essence (Lost Highway, 2001). Brown's The Evening Call, co-produced with Ramsey, is another mature statement from both artists. Ramsey deserves recognition ...
Miles Donahue: Pocket Prolific
by Jerry D'Souza
Multi-instrumentalist Miles Donahue certainly packs it in when it comes to recording. In 2003, he was inspired enough by the classic American songbook to release a set of four albums which he called Standards: Volumes I-IV. This time around he is more circumspect, releasing just two CDs simultaneously. Donahue is no doubt a man of ideas. ...
