Bill Evans and Lee Konitz: Play the Arrangements of Jimmy Giuffre
by Matthew Miller
Merged from two brilliant 1959 studio sessions, this disc is, just as the title and artist credits suggest, a showcase for three immense talents. Those expecting to hear the snap-crackle of Roy Haynes' snare or Bob Brookmeyer's punctuated counterpoints after reading the all-star lineup may be surprised to hear them relegated to the background, but any ...
Marc Mommaas/Nikolaj Hess: Balance
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Any kind of duet, whether jazz, classical or rock, presents its own particular set of challenges. It's paramount that the playrs involved come equipped with some kind of simpatico, or build it up quickly.

Tiziano Tononi: Peace Warriors
by Jeff Stockton
It's unfathomable that when Ornette Coleman came on the scene, his music was flat-out incomprehensible to a significant number of jazz fans. And what's worse, the man himself was thought to be a heretic. But with Coleman's headlining of the JVC Jazz Festival in 2006, there is no doubt that he is one of the few ...

Borah Bergman / Lol Coxhill / Paul Hession: Acts of Love
by Clifford Allen
The number of piano/reeds/percussion trios in the history of improvised music can probably be counted on a single hand, but some of them have been highly influential. Cecil Taylor's trio recorded such a set in 1962 at the Café Montmartre in Copenhagen, the entrée into free percussion beginning with Sunny Murray's fragmented bebop impulsions as Taylor ...

The Essential Herbie Hancock, a double-CD set spanning a forty-year body of work, presents a sample of Hancock's bold explorations of various jazz styles. The compilation runs in nearly chronological order, highlighting releases on major jazz labels like Blue Note, Columbia and Verve. The track order makes very clear the varying creative avenues that Hancock has ...
William Parker: Long Hidden: The Olmec Series
by Jeff Stockton
Solo contrabass performances are an acquired taste that requires confidence and nerve on the part of the performer and the listener. Long Hidden, comprised of music from four separate sessions, pits several solo performances by William Parker on bass and doson ngoni (West African lute) against a few tracks by the upstart Olmec Group. The disc ...
