Influenced by rock 'n' roll, free jazz and eastern European music, this Philadelphia based band is composed of Alban Bailly guitar, Dan Scofield on soprano & tenor saxophones and Eli Litwin drums.

Brian Lynch - Unsung Heroes Vol. 1 (Hollistic Musicworks, 2011)
Paying homage to the unheralded masters of the jazz trumpet is a natural project for trumpeter and flugelhornist Bryan Lynch, who has been steeped in the hard-bop linage since serving and apprenticeship in the Horace Silver band in the 1980's. He is accompanied by a medium sized unit including Vincent Herring on alto saxophone, Alex Hoffman ...
Sonic Liberation Front Meets Sunny Murray (High Two, 2011)
Drummer Sunny Murray is a legend in avant-garde jazz circles, performing with everyone from Albert Ayler to Cecil Taylor, as well as recording several sessions as a leader. An accidental phone call led him to get together with the Philadelphia based ensemble Sonic Liberation Front, and it was a fortuitous meeting for all concerned. This disc ...
T-Model Ford and Gravelroad - Taledragger (Alive Records, 2011)
One of the last of the old—time bluesmen, T-Model Ford's life would make a great film or book, filled with stories both apocryphal and true. Hooking up the much younger band Gravelroad, he has injected fresh energy into his music and has continued to tour and record despite health problems. All of the pieces fit well ...
Ralph Bowen - Power Play (Posi-Tone, 2011)
Saxophonist Ralph Bowen has carved out a fine niche for himself on the mainstream jazz scene as an educator at Rutgers University, and as a recording artist (BTW, back when the Library where I work had money I actually booked him for a concert!) This is a fine mainstream jazz hard-bop recording where Bowen is performing ...
Ralph Peterson - Outer Reaches (Onxy, 2010)
New York City may be the epicenter, but Newark, New Jersey was the home town to a number of jazz greats. Wayne Shorter is the most well known, but trumpeter Woody Shaw and organist Larry Young whom are the polestars on this recording were also Newark natives.

John Coltrane and Archie Shepp - New Thing at Newport (Impulse, 1965)
Jazz was evolving at a fast pace when these two short sets were recorded at the Newport Jazz Festival during the summer of 1965. Saxophonist and composer John Coltrane's “classic quartet" was on its last legs, soon to fracture over Coltrane's embrace of free jazz, the so called “New Thing." But for the time being, Coltrane ...
Bill Dixon - Intents and Purposes (RCA 1969, International Phonographic, 2011)
Trumpeter, composer and educator Bill Dixon's music has always been something of an enigma to me, but seeing how revered he was by his fellow musicians I tried my best to enjoy it. This album, amazingly released originally by a major label and out of print for many years has been given a beautiful re-issue and ...
