Anthony Coleman: Lapidation
by Kurt Gottschalk
After a recording career given over in large part to shtick and nostalgia, the last few years have seen a well-deserved spike for Anthony Coleman. His last two records for Tzadik showed him (on 2006's Pushy Blueness) as a strong composer and (also 2006, Shmutisige Magnaen: Coleman Plays Geburtig) a remarkable interpreter. Lapidation continues the documentation ...

Jazz In Brooklyn
by Nick Catalano
There used to be a sign at the exit of the Verrazano Bridge that read “Welcome to Brooklyn--The fourth largest city in America." Actually, if each borough in Gotham were a standalone city, Brooklyn, with the present population of 2.5 million would now be the third largest city in the country. Most visitors to New York ...

Locke fits in with the three longtime Brazilian musical partners quite well in a performance of material from the trio's palette, with the exception ...

by AAJ Staff
Lock 10 at Joe's Pub Kathy Hendrickson's play Lock 10 is the story of a white guitarist in the 1930s seeking to leave the family business to go on tour with an integrated band. Staged as a period radio play, with actors playing actors voicing roles, it makes for an odd telling. The actors aren't tethered ...
