Nels Cline / Wally Shoup / Chris Corsano: Immolation / Immersion
by Paul C. Dowd
A caveat to anyone who listens to this record on headphones: be sure to have the volume levels properly calibrated, or you will incur a jolt from the initial skronk of “Lake of Fire Memories. At this point of the opening strains of Immolation/Immersion, most traditionalists will probably opt out of this musical journey, which includes ...

Sabir Mateen: Prophecies Come to Pass

The Shapes, Textures and Sound Ensemble is a quintessential downtown New York jazz group in the tradition of Other Dimensions in Music and Test--as intense and impassioned as music honed on the street should be: tough, but coherent and highly skilled.

Mark O: Awakening
by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio
Awakening is the sort of recording that makes demands of its listeners. Mark O'Leary (electric guitar), Steve Swallow (bass guitar) and Pierre Favre (percussion) manage to create a charmingly introspective record by insulating what is invariably solid jazz with a fusion of rocky harmonies. In a genre dominated by musicians keen on experimentation, ...

Although liner notes author Mike Hennessey claims that he was “an entertainer first, a brilliantly gifted jazzman second, Armstrong made it ...
