John Zorn/Jamie Saft Trio: Astaroth, Book of Angels Volume 1: Jamie Saft Trio Plays Masada Book Two
by Celeste Sunderland
Astaroth. The word itself can only be spoken with a gleam in the speaker's eye, a twitch of the eyebrow. It's as if within those eight letters, those three syllables, lies the power of enchantment. With Astaroth: Book of Angels Volume 1, the Jamie Saft Trio takes on ten compositions from John Zorn's Masada Book Two. ...
Jacques Coursil
by A. Henkin
Since Henry Grimes' resurfacing, the bar has been raised for dramatic stories of life away from music. During the summer, trumpeter Jacques Coursil released a new record, his first since 1969. Was there a commensurate exciting story for his long sojourn away from music? Not really. Since an early age, music has just been one of ...
In Memoriam: Albert Mangelsdorff 1928-2005
by AAJ Staff
GUNTER HAMPEL I remember one of the many conversations Marion Brown and I used to have was about solo performers. After I had published my first SOLO LP in 1969, I had stirred a trend. In Germany J.E. Berendt, the great jazzpromoter and writer, took my idea and presented it at the 1972 Olympic Games in ...
ESP-Disk
by Clifford Allen
Sometimes it does take a bit of a reminder--especially in the days of corporate conglomerates managing almost every aspect of one's media experience--that the history of improvised music has been forged not only by left-field artists and visionaries, but also by record labels just as independent as their rosters. Commodore, Savoy, Dial, Transition, Blue Note, Prestige, ...
2005 Caramoor Jazz Festival
by David Adler
While Bird & Diz were revolutionizing jazz in 1945, Caramoor, a leafy estate in Katonah, was on its way to becoming Westchester's haven for the arts. And so this year, as Caramoor celebrated its 60th anniversary, producer Jim Luce and artistic director Joe Lovano chose “Modern Jazz at 60 as the festival's theme, seeking to highlight ...

Ethan Iverson: Roll Call
by AAJ Staff
By Ethan Iverson This is my tribute to musicians who are no longer with us but that I managed to see perform. Their names are in bold. I spent my first night in New York City at the Village Vanguard. It was August 1991, I was 18 years old and ...
September 2005
by AAJ Staff
At the Stone, in a fairly rare New York appearance (Aug. 11th), Sticks and Stones laid bare the essence of the leaderless trio concept. Altoist Matana Roberts, bassist Josh Abrams and drummer Chad Taylor tunneled through abstract grooves, locked horns in riotous free-bop and sang with a deeply felt lyricism. The Strayhorn/Ellington classic “Isfahan , with ...
European Jazz Diary, Part 4
by Nick Catalano
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 During the initial Lionel Hampton tour of Europe in 1953, it was in Stockholm that a contingent of beboppers which Hamp had included in his tour at the behest of European producers and critics, began a secret rebellion. At the ...
Carrie Shull/Tara Flandreau/Reuben Radding: The Branch Will Not Break
by Terrell Kent Holmes
The Branch Will Not Break is an impressive collection of musical episodes. To call them songs would be somewhat inaccurate, because they're closer to tone poems or paintings with notes. And this splendid trio--Carrie Shull on oboe and English horn, Tara Flandreau on viola, and Reuben Radding on double bass--is like a collective Jackson Pollock, working ...
