Leila Bordreuil & Michael Foster: The Caustic Ballads

Read "The Caustic Ballads" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

by Hrayr Attarian

Brooklyn based Cellist Leila Bordreuil and saxophonist Michael Foster explore the emotional boundaries of tonality on the otherworldly and daring Caustic Ballads. The thirteen improvised duets, with their disturbing and poetic titles are abstract in their conception, intimately delivered and deeply visceral in their impact.The hypnotic “Into the Peristyle of Love's Temple" for example ...

George DeLancey: George DeLancey

Read "George DeLancey" reviewed by James Nadal

by James Nadal

During the golden age of the big bands, composers wrote with the entire ensemble as a singular voice, with the soloist (and solos) connected to the concept of the song as a whole. The leading exponent of this era was Duke Ellington, whose writing was built around that awareness; and his songs have withstood the test ...

David Smith Quintet: Impetus

Read "Impetus" reviewed by Luigi Sforza

by Luigi Sforza

La registrazione analogica di Impetus -terzo disco del David Smith Quintet -valorizza pienamente gli aspetti performativi del gruppo conferendo al sound un respiro “naturale," in cui la musicalità si abbina alla precisione esecutiva e l'ariosità delle melodie dà spunto ad ispirati parti solistiche. La band guidata dal trombettista canadese David Smith, naturalizzato newyorkese, sa inanellare ...

Michael Formanek - Tomas Fujiwara - Mary Halvorson: Convallaria

Read "Convallaria" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Three hyper-progressive improvisational jazz and cross-genre artists push the envelope again on their 2nd album for Cuneiform Records. The musicians' busy schedules via numerous and largely prolific solo and group-based projects have rocketed their respective artistries into the limelight, especially ECM recording artist Michael Formanek (bass) who for the past several decades has become a household ...

Steve Buscemi/Elliott Sharp: Rub Out The Word

Read "Rub Out The Word" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Is it significant that Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) and William S. Burroughs (1914-1997) were born just one year apart? Maybe. Sinatra began as a teen idol, before developing into American's bon vivant and arbiter of cool, and finally a cranky old man. On the other hand, the writer Burroughs was born a cranky old man, and perpetuated ...

Joe Morris: Shock Axis

Read "Shock Axis" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

I am applying for a NEA grant to test my theory that you can judge an album by it's cover. For instance, The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St (RSR, 1972) and The Clash's London Calling (CBS, 1979) are two albums where you just knew what to expect by gazing at the covers. In the jazz ...

Levin Minnemann Rudess: From the Law Offices of Levin Minnemann Rudess

Read "Levin Minnemann Rudess: From the Law Offices of Levin Minnemann Rudess" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

It may look good on paper, but you can never really know how “super group" collaborations are going to work out until they actually get together and do something. In the case of the power trio named after its members--bassist/stick player Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Stick Men), drummer/guitarist Marco Minnemann (Steven Wilson, The Aristocrats, ...
