Rick Parker Collective: New York Gravity
by Matt Merewitz
The Rick Parker Collective proves that its possible to be groundbreakingly innovative in 4/4 time, at least most of the time. These days the opposite is thought to be true - that changing the time is the only way to go. To be on the cutting edge you have to be messing around with alternative time ...

Barry Harris: Live in New York
by Riel Lazarus
Live jazz recordings are a curious sort of creature.

Joseph Jarman
by Kurt Gottschalk
Chicago was my indoctrination. In 1990, I attended the 25th anniversary of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. I was basically an avant rock fan, overly confident in my then miniscule knowledge of free music. I wish now I even knew who I saw during that weekend festival, but it was one of the ...
