Jazz International

Read "Jazz International" reviewed by Nick Catalano

by Nick Catalano

Many times in this column I have reported on the developments of jazz outside the United States. Here in New York for years, there have been countless appearances by musicians from virtually every country imaginable. This month I review international jazzers as a reminder to readers that the most recent music coming from foreign lands is ...

Ahmad Jamal: Ahmad Jamal Trio: Complete Recordings

Read "Ahmad Jamal Trio: Complete Recordings" reviewed by Robert Iannapollo

by Robert Iannapollo

It's surprising that Ahmad Jamal, clearly one of the benchmarks of jazz piano in the '50s, has been neglected by most jazz writers. Though he's clearly been a popular favorite, most of the positive commentary has focused on “Miles Davis really liked him. That's actually a bit of an understatement. One might even say Davis was ...

Uri Caine: Developing That Third Ear

Read "Uri Caine: Developing That Third Ear" reviewed by Celeste Sunderland

by Celeste Sunderland

Mozart's “Piano Sonata in C Major is one of the most well-known compositions in the entire musical canon. Last month pianist Uri Caine strutted across the stage at New York City's Merkin Hall, took his seat and dove into the familiar piece with genteel precision. But quickly, under the influence of his classically trained, but jazz-infected ...

Tin Hat: The Sad Machinery of Spring

Read "The Sad Machinery of Spring" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk

by Kurt Gottschalk

The fact that Tin Hat is no longer a trio and that founding member Rob Burger left the group in 2004 shouldn't be such a jolt. The band has always expanded and shape-shifted, working with such guests as Tom Waits and Willie Nelson on previous records. But for their fifth release, they've formally dropped the “trio ...

Industrial Jazz Group: Industrial Jazz A Go Go!

Read "Industrial Jazz A Go Go!" reviewed by A. Henkin

by A. Henkin

For those expecting to read about Ministry tunes played by full trumpet sections, stop right now. The Industrial Jazz Group has absolutely nothing to do with industrial music per se. I might posit that the adjective refers to an almost assembly line-like amalgamation of every known big band style into one mechagodzilla that destroys Tokyo.

Mikkel Ploug Group Featuring Mark Turner: Mikkel Ploug Group

Read "Mikkel Ploug Group" reviewed by Elliott Simon

by Elliott Simon

With recent appearances at the North Sea Jazz Festival and other more intimate venues, guitarist Mikkel Ploug's star has been ascending--not only in his native Denmark, but also in various overlapping international jazz circles. Last year, he received his BTA with a two-month residency in New York City, and in the process made some interesting musical ...

Stephan Crump: Rosetta

Read "Rosetta" reviewed by Donald Elfman

by Donald Elfman

Here is a string ensemble for the new century! Bassist Stephan Crump is known for his association with pianist Vijay Iyer; he has taken some of the personal and novel qualities of that collaboration and somehow found a striking new way to express powerful feelings about what it is to create music--and, further, what it is ...

Hans Blix at the Tea Lounge 3/29

BROOKLYN, NY - Hans Blix is ready to show Brooklyn what free improvisation is really all about. This trio of Brooklyn-musicians uses archetypical hooks, layered sounds, and real-time audio deconstruction to draw the listeners in, then take their breath away, without relying on any pre-composed material. Are they ...
