by Jeff Stockton
William Parker Quartet Sound Unity AUM Fidelity 2005 Recorded live in Montreal and Vancouver during the William Parker Quartet's tour in the summer of 2004, Sound Unity doesn't pack the same startling punch as the the group's first release, 2001's O'Neal's Porch (AUM Fidelity), but this pianoless quartet, with its ...

Peter Br
by A. Henkin
Since his first recordings in the mid '60s, German saxophonist Brötzmann can either be accused of being limited or extremely focused. Whatever the ruling, there has been no one player over the past decades who better encapsulates the upheaval of post-war Europe.

Graham Collier & John Surman: Workpoints & Way Back When
by A. Henkin
England in the late '60s was an exciting place for music and musicians.

Jerry Garcia Merriweather-Post Pavilion Live at Keystone Korner Pure Jerry 2004, 2005 Jerry Garcia may embody the essence of non-conformism, but he honored musical tradition like perhaps no other musicians of his generation. Flaunt it as he might've with the Grateful Dead, when he took respite ...
The Rhythm Method: New LPRs
by David Rickert
Gene Krupa Gene Krupa Plays Gerry Mulligan Arrangements Verve 1958 Gene Krupa left Benny Goodman to form a band that played nothing but killer-dillers, the fiery numbers like “Sing, Sing, Sing that caused riots at the Paramount.
