The Hudson Valley's resident jazz fans--and visitors--found themselves with two days of musical treasures on June 25-26, when Kingston chooses to celebrate Independence Weekend a week ahead of time.There were two independently produced free jazz festivals in New York's first capitol city. While I was there for Sunday's Kingston International Jazz Festival, down along the ...
Giacomo Gates
by Elliott Simon
Whether lending his smooth baritone to a ballad or practicing the art of vocalese, Giacomo Gates brings a sense of honesty to a song. So much so, that when he says straightfaced that the trombonist hasn't shown and then proceeds to fill the void with the best mouth trombone you ever want to hear, you believe ...
Michael Bisio and Bob Nell: Connections and Soft & Bronze
by AAJ Staff
Michael Bisio Quartet Connections CIMP 2005 Originally from New York State, Bisio has been a vital fixture on the Seattle scene for three decades. With over a half dozen highly recommended sessions as leader, his work has been likened to David Izenzon, Charlie Haden and Mingus and for ...
Dan Levinson and His Canary Cottage Dance Orchestra: Crinoline Days
by Elliott Simon
In 1917, as Russians revolted against the Tsar and the US entered into World War I, the first jazz records, recorded right here in NYC, turned so-called legitimate music on its ear. People danced to the “new music and the national craze that would come to be known as the “Jazz Age was born. That same ...
Russ Lossing: Phrase 6
by Jeff Stockton
Fresh Sound launched its New Talent series in 1995 and has stayed true to its name by recording a stream of New York unknowns, including the debut of the Bad Plus. Continuing this established piano trio pedigree, composer and leader Russ Lossing (a typical jazz “newcomer, having arrived in town in 1986) works with his current ...
Jimmy Greene Quartet: Forever
by Javier AQ Ortiz
Forever offers a choice of reasons for celebration. Its repertoire, mostly based on music inspired by the Protestant and so-called Evangelical versions of the Christian faith, is a somewhat unexplored vein that contains rich melodic and evocative deposits yet to be strip-mined. Although there certainly are examples of its interpretation throughout the history of jazz, much ...
Jimmy Halperin: Joy & Gravitas

A highly original tenor and soprano saxophonist who studied and worked with Lennie Tristano, Sal Mosca, and Warne Marsh, he combines a unique conception with a gorgeous tone and great facility. On Joy & Gravitas he's supported by bassist Dominic Duval and drummer Jay Rosen, two musicians whose skills both ...
August 2005
by AAJ Staff
In a glass-enclosed second-floor atrium at Scandinavia House (Jul. 6th), bassist Eivind Opsvik did his best to rise above loud conversations fueled by flowing drinks. The bandmates - Tony Malaby on tenor, Jacob Sacks on keyboard and Gerald Cleaver on drums - have played on one or both of Opsvik's superior Fresh Sound-New Talent discs, Overseas ...
FIMAV 2005
by AAJ Staff
By Mathieu Bélanger If historically the music and artists the Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville (FIMAV) featured played a crucial role in the establishment of “musique actuelle as a genre - think of the Montréal-based Ambiances magnétiques collective - the FIMAV has always favored a broad perspective on so-called experimental music that ...
Dizzy Gillespie/Charlie Parker: Town Hall, New York City 1945
by Norman Weinstein
This is absolutely a find, a well-recorded (for 1945) live concert of Bird and Diz and Max Roach in peak form. The numbers were quite familiar to these artists at the time ("A Night in Tunisia," “Salt Peanuts," “Groovin' High"), but these are slashingly brilliant versions to be treasured.Gillespie sounds unusually florid and assured, ...
