The Whammies: Play The Music Of Steve Lacy
by John Ephland
It's a Lacy sandwich. Sort of. Between the opening and closing slices of “Bone" and Monk's “Locomotive," we get to hear some real free-range chicken, so to speak, said tunes played relatively straight, with clearly recognizable heads and a unity swing. (Throw them into the lunch bucket, too.) And, except for the lurching closer “Locomotive," the ...

The Engines - Wire and Brass (Okkadisk, 2010) ****
By Joe Higham From what I read on The Engines website this album was recorded live in 2008 at the Hungry Brain (Chicago), shame it's taken so long to get the CD out. So here's your chance to get to hear the second helping (*) of The Engines, a group coming from the windy city, made ...
Jason Adasiewicz: Sun Rooms
by Nic Jones
It's clear from Sun Rooms, perhaps more than from any of his previous efforts on record, that Jason Adasiewicz is offering something pretty personal. Sure, it's possible to name check both '60s-era Bobby Hutcherson and Walt Dickerson as points of reference, but they serve simply to highlight the fact that Adasiewicz is--for want of a better ...
