Greg Osby & Jason Moran: Channel Three & Same Mother
by Jeff Stockton
Greg Osby Channel Three Blue Note 2005 It's hard to believe that among the sixteen albums he's recorded as a leader, Channel Three is alto saxophonist Greg Osby's first with simple drum and bass backing. The time must be right, because the music on this recording contains all ...
Opsvik, Tone Collector & Wallumr
by Javier AQ Ortiz
Eivind Opsvik Overseas II Fresh Sound New Talent 2005 Overseas II broadens the documentation of the New York growth of the music by bassist Eivind Opsvik away from his native Norway. He writes present-day jazz material unlike anything else in the market. “Stranded starts with ...
Rova: John Coltrane's Ascension & Electric Ascension
by Eyal Hareuveni
“There is never any end. There are always new sounds to imagine: new feelings to get at. And always, there is a need to keep purifying these feelings and sounds so that we can really see what we've discovered in its pure state. So that we can see more clearly what we are. In that way, ...
Bill Charlap & Herbie Hancock: Plays George Gershwin & Gershwin's World
by Javier AQ Ortiz
The latest releases from Bill Charlap and Herbie Hancock add two terrific chapters to the reinterpretation of George Gershwin's music. They are, however, entirely different from each other. For the former, the sole justification for the project is, to paraphrase George Mallory and Sir Edmund Hillary: “Because he's there. For the latter, the self-avowed aspirations are ...
Frank London & Andy Statman: Haz
by Elliott Simon
In the '90s, the Klezmatics made klezmer hip; the latest from their trumpeter, Frank London, should likewise make cantorial music accessible to a new generation of listeners. Hazónos had its Golden Age during the '20s-40s as superstar cantors recorded popular versions of liturgical works. The signature songs of four such “hazzans are presented with newly recorded ...

by AAJ Staff
Kurt Grämiger/Daniel Studer/Dieter Ulrich Aus freien Stücken ART-PURecords/Unit Records 2004 This Swiss alto sax/bass/drums trio plays the type of free jazz we have come to know so well from various European groupings.

Paul Motian: I Have the Room Above Her & Motian in Tokio
by Rico Cleffi
Paul Motian I Have the Room Above Her ECM Records 2005 I Have the Room Above Her is an odd title choice, considering the title track is one of only two songs that drummer Paul Motian didn't write himself. Maybe Motian's too modest to go with one of his own ...
David Rothenberg: Why Birds Sing & Evan Parker With Birds
by Kurt Gottschalk
David Rothenberg Why Birds Sing Terra Nova 2005 What higher compliment could be paid a singer than to say she (Sarah Vaughan, perhaps) sings like a bird. And certainly any saxophonist would be proud to be compared to Bird. The birds set the standard, perhaps outclass human musicians, which might ...
