Anthony Braxton & Wadada Leo Smith
by AAJ Staff
Submitted on behalf of Dave Wayne. Solo (Milano) 1979, the second solo Anthony Braxton disc to be issued on Leo’s Golden Years series, consists of a single concert given on January 17th. A look through my entire Braxton collection (30- odd LPs and a dozen or so CDs – an admittedly paltry sampling when you consider ...
Dennis Gonz
by AAJ Staff
Submitted on behalf of Ken Waxman. Chicago's Association for the Advancement of Creative Music (AACM) exemplar, and its southern roots, underlines the creativity of the combos on both these discs. Although only three of the nine players involved are AACM members -- the late trumpeter Ameen Muhammad, bassist Malachi Favors and drummer Alvin Fielder -- the ...
Miroslav Vitous & Dave Holland
by AAJ Staff
Submitted on behalf of George Harris. Two bass players separated by mere months of age, both initially influenced by the LaFaro/Peacock school of thought, and both arriving at the burgeoning of a whole new era of jazz are featured on these ECM new releases. Both bassists took diverging paths and Universal Syncopations and Extended Play provide ...

by AAJ Staff
Submitted on behalf of Ollie Bivins. Van Morrison What's Wrong With This Picture? Blue Note 2003 This is rock singer's Van Morrison's first release on the venerable Blue Note jazz label. It is not a jazz album, however. Rather, it is pop music drenched in Memphis and New Orleans-style blues ...

by Jerry D'Souza
San Francisco and the Asian-American tradition in music have made significant contributions to jazz (and all of its attributes for those looking beyond given parameters and taking comfort in them). Francis Wong, Jon Jang, Vijay Iyer and Tatsu Aoki are among those who have enriched the movement. Doug Yokoyama has been active on that scene since ...
Bailey's Lucky Seven
by Charlie B. Dahan
The hardest part of writing the Gennett discography is the long hours of data entry. My hands are the conduits of transferring the data from a source into the database. My mind can take a holiday during this process, as the excitement and stimulation for it is in the collecting, not the compiling. The longest compiling ...
New Zealand: A New Destination For Improvised Music?
by Jay Collins
When one thinks of spots for progressive freely improvised music, New Zealand is hardly the first to spring to mind. But, believe it or not, the country has seen a recent upsurge and considerable growth in the scene, thanks to a small number of dedicated souls in the capital city of Wellington. This collective of independent ...

by Derek Taylor
The Oscar Peterson Trio, with Ray Brown on bass, Herb Ellis on guitar and/or Ed Thigpen on drums represents one of the most prolific and recognizable rhythm sections in jazz. Under the Verve umbrella they cut sessions easily numbering into the double digits backing a voluminous array of swing and bop heavyweights including Lester Young, Ben ...
