Dave Brubeck: Time Out (50th Anniversary Legacy Edition)
by Graham L. Flanagan
The year 1959 could easily go down as the one of most important years in the history of recorded jazz. In addition to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue (Columbia), it saw the release of the Dave Brubeck Quartet's groundbreaking LP Time Out. Columbia Records got the risky inclination to release the album's third track, the Paul ...
Resonance Big Band: Plays Tribute to Oscar Peterson
by Ken Dryden
Oscar Peterson was a jazz giant whose career spanned from the late '40s until not long before his death in late 2007. When Resonance owner George Klabin conceived this big band tribute, he made an unusual choice: Marian Petrescu, a Rumanian native, who had appeared as a sideman on guitarist Andreas Oberg's earlier CD for the ...
Fred Anderson Quartet: Live at the Velvet Lounge Volume III
by Jeff Stockton
Fred Anderson's sound on tenor can be heard in his stance. With his horn hung on a harness that looks like something a moving man would wear as he prepares to hoist a TV, Anderson bends his knees and hunches over as if muscle more than breath is needed to lift the notes into the air. ...
FAB Trio: Live in Amsterdam
by Terrell Kent Holmes
If three previous live albums weren't proof enough, Live in Amsterdam underscores how the FAB Trio thrives on the high-wire act of playing in front of an audience. Bassist Joe Fonda, drummer Barry Altschul and violinist Billy Bang treat the crowd at the Bimhuis Jazz Club to some excellent avant-garde virtuosity that, although lengthy and involved, ...
The Thing: Bag It!
by A. Henkin
One of the most appealing facets of The Thing-- saxophonist Mats Gustafsson, bassist Ingebrigt Haker Flaten and drummer Paal Nilssen-Love--is the visceral experience of seeing them play live. Huddled closely on stage, wearing matching Ruby's BBQ of Austin t-shirts, dripping with sweat and manhandling their instruments, the trio is one of the modern wonders of avant-garde ...
Phil Marino Songs (and Sinatra) Tell the Story of This Life
STORY of a guys life, told in wine vintage terms. As Ervin Drake tells it, that was the note to himself that led to his writing a song, back in 1961, that earned a Grammy for Frank Sinatra. At the time, Mr. Drake was in the office of a music publisher who told him that Bob ...
Sten Hostfalt / Blaise Siwula at Yippie Cafe (NYC) June 2
Sten Hostfalt (guitar) and Blaise Siwula (saxophone) celebrate 30 NYC concert events together since December 2007 with an uninterrupted, regular, steady and typically weekly/bi-weekly presence on the creative jazz and improvised New York City scene. The June 2 2009, 9pm (one set only / no cover) appearance at The Yippie Cafe on 9 Bleecker St (btw. ...
The Fully Celebrated: Drunk on the Blood of the Holy Ones
by John Sharpe
For Drunk on the Blood of the Holy Ones, Boston's The Fully Celebrated have dropped the orchestral tag from their name, but retain their wide ranging eclecticism, all transmuted through a jazz prism. Though altoist Jim Hobbs composed all eight tracks, it is the tight syncopation of bassist Timo Shanko and drummer Django Carranza that breathes ...
Bill Cole's Untempered Ensemble: Proverbs of Sam
by Jeff Stockton
Master of semi-exotic Eastern double-reed instruments, Bill Cole has spent most of his professional life as an academic. Criminally under-recorded, when Seasoning the Greens, a 2001 concert of his Untempered Ensemble was released in 2002, fans of freely improvised worldbeat jazz only had to wait one year. So the question raised by Proverbs of Sam is: ...
Steve Lantner: Given - Live In Munster
by John Sharpe
What is called free jazz can cover a very wide spectrum of creative music, not all of which is as unfettered as the name implies. At the most basic level, choice of instrumentation is a clear limitation, while pre-agreed moods or written heads may further reduce the possibilities. On Given, the second release ...
