Reads with Jazz In Canada & 14 Love Poems
by Clifford Allen
Despite the fact that beat poets and their bohemian kin were entranced and influenced by jazz rhythms and improvisation (and vice versa), it seems as though the music and word idioms remained quite separate throughout the beat-heyday of the late '50s and early '60s. Kenneth Patchen (1911-1972), painter and poet who stood closer to Eliot than ...

These two new discs present three excellent Griffin sessions, one each from the '60's, '70s and '80s, documenting various aspects of his mastery of the tenor saxophone and the jazz idiom in remarkably diverse settings.

Don't let the simple packaging of Ras Moshe's new CDs fool you: Live Spirits No. 1 and Live Spirits No. 2 are rich with sound and spirit, an aural vision quest by one of the city's most important avant-garde saxophonists.

A Love Supreme and La Espada de la Noche
by Joel Roberts
For years, jazz artists have shied away from A Love Supreme, treating it as somehow too iconic, too hallowed or at least too uniquely tied to its composer to cover. Who would dare try to improve on the perfection the Coltrane quartet achieved on their legendary 1964 Impulse! recording? Wynton Marsalis, that's who. And it's a ...
Alexander von Schlippenbach: Compression & Monk's Casino
by A. Henkin
The career of most artists follows one of two paths: linear (Pablo Picasso or Gato Barbieri) or circular (Chick Corea). Few can or wish to maintain multiple personalities creatively. In music, there are more instances of this kind of multi-tasking and German pianist Alex von Schlippenbach has proven himself especially adept. In the ...
