Rashied Ali/Arthur Rhames: The Dynamic Duo Remember Trane and Bird
by A. Henkin
For some, Interstellar Space was the end of John Coltrane--and for others, just the beginning. As many people dislike Rashied Ali for being Trane's last drummer as like him for that same reason. Indisputable though is that Interstellar Space began the examination of new possibilities for the duet format, apart from the typical piano/bass example. Ali ...
Uri Caine: Live at the Village Vanguard
by AAJ Staff
It was much easier on us jazz critics when discs used to just barely break the half-hour mark. Jazz is often dense, complex music which requires a great deal of attention to decipher, and we've got piles of the stuff to get through. Which is why, as good as it is--and it's often spectacularly good--Uri Caine's ...
John O'Gallagher/Masa Kamaguchi/Jay Rosen: Rules of Invisibility Volume 1
by Florence Wetzel
Does anyone at CIMP ever sleep? Every time you turn around, they've released yet another CD of first-rate improvised music, all recorded to their high standards and all giving complete freedom to the artists involved. Bob Rusch and his team are on a mission, documenting one-of-a-kind sessions as well as the rich array of jazz musicians ...
Jean-Michel Pilc: Follow Me
by Ken Franckling
French pianist Jean-Michel Pilc has made a name for himself as an adventurous musical explorer. Follow Me is his first solo CD after four trio recordings and one large ensemble project. The opening title track is sort of an invitation to follow him through his many moods. He shows himself to be a musical ...
Jeremy Steig/Vic Juris: Improvised
by Florence Wetzel
Originally brought together in a quartet, flutist Jeremy Steig and guitarist Vic Juris had an instant flash of compatibility and decided to explore playing as a duo. Classical music often employs flute and guitar duets, and listening to Improvised, it's clear these two instruments are natural allies. Improvised is composed of 22 short ...
Tertiary Trio: Title Goes Here
by Florence Wetzel
Rent Control Records, a label that's putting out some of the freshest sounds in avant-garde jazz, has just released Title Goes Here by the Tertiary Trio. The trio--Andy Haas on sax, Don Fiorino on guitar and Paul Corio on drums--interweaves beautifully on the CD's seven tracks, producing a solid stream of creative improvisation. Andy ...
Dave Douglas/Louis Sclavis/Peggy Lee/Dylan Van Der Schyff: Bow River Falls
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Recorded one afternoon during the Banff Workshop, Bow River Falls is trumpeter Dave Douglas' first cooperative effort since New and Used in the early '90s. Douglas, clarinetist Louis Sclavis, cellist Peggy Lee and drummer Dylan Van Der Schyff all contributed compositions, mostly from their earlier discographies, which were rearranged for this session. Perhaps because of the ...
Tony Malaby: Adobe
by Jeff Stockton
Tony Malaby is a five-tool saxophonist who can handle standards, ballads, fiery improvisation, delicate abstraction, and sympathetic accompaniment with equivalent skill. He demonstrates the full range of his talents on Adobe, a trio session with bassist Drew Gress and revolutionary drummer Paul Motian. In this setting, there is no true leader as each player alternately moves ...
Joe Farnsworth: It's Prime Time
by Terrell Kent Holmes
It's Prime Time , by drummer Joe Farnsworth, is an inspired blend of past and present, with a lineup of young lions roaring in the presence of several pantheon-dwelling vets. Their combined talents give this disc, a nod to the hard bop period of the '50s and '60s, a sound that is at once nostalgic and ...
Cannonball Adderley: Live Session
by Andrew Rowan
The two sessions that comprise this reissue were recorded live in Los Angeles at the Lighthouse ('64) and Memory Lane ('62), offering a snapshot of the era's mainstream offerings. Not as well known as Adderley's work with Nancy Wilson, this session is nonetheless a worthy companion. Eschewing the standards route with the sleek and ...
