Branford Marsalis Quartet: Metamorphosen
by Jeff Stockton
Branford Marsalis has always had contrarian tendencies. From joining Sting's band to quitting The Tonight Show, he's followed his own path, even when his motivations have moved him away from conventional jazz forms. Today, being the artistic director of his own record label (at a time when record labels are floundering) and playing with the same ...
Various Artists: Anthology of Swing Strings (1930s-1950s): Professor Visits Harlem or Swingin
by Andrew Velez
The strings go zing-zinging on Professor Visits Harlem. Quite unlike any other anthology you're likely to have run into of late, we're treated to three decades of jazz string ensembles, starting off “Two Violins One Siday," a group whose 1931 take on “Dinah" is very finah. It was not until the '30s that ...
Joe McPhee: Angels, Devils & Haints
by Kurt Gottschalk
Angels, Devils & Haints is a beautifully unusual tribute record. The project was conceived by saxophonist Joe McPhee as a tribute to the great Albert Ayler, but doesn't include any of Ayler's tunes. The lineup--McPhee (tenor and alto saxophones and pocket trumpet) with a quartet of bassists--isn't an instrumentation Ayler ever used. And yet, from the ...

Michael Musillami Trio + 3: From Seeds
by Robert Iannapollo
Connecticut-based Michael Musillami is a guitarist firmly rooted in the modern post-Coltrane jazz tradition but not above applying a rock-ish tone and aggression at times to good effect, as heard on the title track to From Seeds. His early work with the late saxophonist Thomas Chapin is worth seeking out but he really came into his ...
Nels Cline: Coward
by Stuart Broomer
Few guitarists cover the sheer range of Nels Cline, moving between genres from folk and rock, as a member of Wilco, to free jazz, with Vinny Golia and Gregg Bendian among others, to his own highly eclectic projects that impinge on all of these categories. Coward is a solo record, in the sense ...

Wearing an ocean-blue dress and holding recently written lyrics in her hand, Bjork sang at what may well have been her smallest gig of the year on Friday night at the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe in SoHo, which was packed with about 300 people. The music was quiet: just voices and modestly amplified acoustic instruments. But ...
