Carl Maguire: Floriculture
by Donald Elfman
Here's a downtown jazz quartet that knows the patterns and traditions of the mainstream but has used it to create something quite different. Maguire's compositions are complicated and dense, but not inaccessible. Reflecting grooves, minimalism and a strong sense of melody, this music demands repeated listenings, if only due to the fact that the listener can't ...
Victor Prieto: Persistencia
by Marcia Hillman
On Victor Prieto's debut recording, the accomplished Spanish accordionist has chosen to approach his instrument in a new way. Aided by bassist Carlo DeRosa and drummer Allison Miller, Prieto included Egberto Gismonti's “Frevo, John Coltrane's “26-2 and Astor Piazzolla's “Libertango in a program with six original compositions.

The View from the Bandstand
by Nick Catalano
Much discussion has occupied the role of the jazz writer who is also a musician. Many have argued that writers who play have unique opportunities to contribute to the development of the music while others (usually those who don't play) steadfastly maintain that musicianship is definitely not a prerequisite for credentials as a jazz journalist. I ...
Joe McPhee: New York, NY, 1971 and Pieces of Light
by Clifford Allen
What makes Joe McPhee's music so special is something that you may not consciously register at first--it moves differently from the music of his contemporaries. It's slower, polychromatic, concentrated and thick, and its dynamics are deeply subtle. In the liner notes to his album Oleo (Hat Hut, 1982), McPhee discusses the concept of lateral thinking and ...
Reuben Radding: Fugitive Pieces
by Marc Medwin
"The Gradual Instant --nothing could be more apt in describing the way this Reuben Radding disc is constructed. Each instant might take a moment, or three minutes, or longer. The episodic qualities of each track ensure adventure, introspection and transcendence for anyone inclined toward patience. This is not the Radding I've known. Sure, ...
21st Century Schizoid Band: Pictures of a City - Live in New York
by John Kelman
It's been 37 years since In the Court of the Crimson King dispensed with preconceptions of what rock music could or should be. And while Robert Fripp, a King Crimson co-founder and the group's only remaining original member, has steadfastly kept his eye on the future, archival reissues--including two outstanding Discipline Global Mobile retrospective box sets, ...
Charles Lloyd: Confluence
by Russ Musto
“It's all part of a continuum, Charles Lloyd says about the music of his new trio with Zakir Hussain and Eric Harland. “Sangam is a confluence, a meeting--it's a supercharged atmosphere when we get together. We play in the now, looking for the One. Zakir, Eric and I may come from different backgrounds, but it is ...
Ned Rothenberg: The Lumina Recordings
by Kurt Gottschalk
Reed and wind instrumentalist Ned Rothenberg is an almost frighteningly talented musician and composer. Without the charismatic approach of other downtown players--people like John Zorn and Elliott Sharp, who borrowed from different genres to define their sound--Rothenberg's focus has been on mastering his instrument. And despite his humble statement of hearing a “not yet fully formed ...
