Steve Kuhn Revisiting an Old Boss Named John Coltrane
The pianist Steve Kuhn can play John Coltranes music meaningfully without sounding as if he lives by it. That shows self-possession, for a couple of reasons. Coltrane was the most influential jazz musician in the late 1950s and 1960s, when Mr. Kuhn got started. And Mr. Kuhn, now 71, also has something many of his peers ...
Power Banjo, Extreme Jazz and a Bit of Twitchy Punk
Seabrook Power Plant began and ended its set on Tuesday night at Zebulon, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with a grimly combative clamor. Jared Seabrook, the bands drummer, bashed a manhole-cover-size ride cymbal and viciously pummeled his snare; Tom Blancarte clawed at his upright bass with something like frenzied desperation. In the foreground Brandon Seabrook, Jareds brother, was ...
Deluge at Smoke Jazz Club Stops the Music
On Monday night at around 9:30, water began pouring through the ceiling at Smoke, a jazz club at Broadway and 106th Street. It was right in the middle of a set by John Farnsworth, a saxophonist, and the damage caused by a sprinkler system that had been set off by smoke or fire six floors up ...
Search: Today Is Tomorrow
by Lyn Horton
Today is Tomorrow is the first album for the quartet Search: reedman Matthew Maley, trumpeter/flutist RJ Avallone, bassist David Moss and drummer Bryson Kern.

The Thirteenth Assembly: (un)sentimental
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
The Thirteenth Assembly was founded as a touring collective that appeals to promoters' predilection for booking multiple acts on a single night.

Joel Harrison: Urban Myths
by Donald Elfman
A key element in Joel Harrison's history is what he calls the “electric jazz" of the '70s. So this smart and inventive guitarist offers his own reconsideration of the music championed nearly 40 years ago. This is powerfully intense music but also has a sense of play that keeps its ingredients engaging. The ...
Steve Kuhn: Mostly Coltrane
by Stuart Broomer
When John Coltrane left Miles Davis' band at the end of 1959, the first working quartet he formed had Steve Kuhn on piano for gigs at the Jazz Gallery over the first three months of 1960. Here Kuhn pays deeply affecting tribute to Coltrane and his music with Joe Lovano on tenor and tarogato and Kuhn's ...
Adam Caine Trio: Thousandfold
by Lyn Horton
Guitarist Adam Caine displays his endlessly innovative creative instinct on Thousandfold. Bassist Tom Blancarte and drummer John Wagner supply a steadfastly well-defined surface onto which Caine thoroughly infuses multidirectional vibrations as varied in color and texture as possible. The guitarist splurges on extraordinarily unique patterns of fingering and plunges into chasms of reverberation. ...
