Gerry Mulligan: The Emarcy Sextet Recordings

Read "Gerry Mulligan: The Emarcy Sextet Recordings" reviewed by C. Andrew Hovan

by C. Andrew Hovan

While there are many reasons why the cool jazz movement on the west coast was a somewhat short-lived era, one of the key aspects of its quiet demise was the decidedly harder-edged music coming out of New York at about the same time period. Back around 1955, hard bop was making its ascendency and this might ...

Nate Wooley Makes America Great Again

Read "Nate Wooley Makes America Great Again" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

In his excellent book of literary and cultural criticism, The Grey Album: On the Blackness of Blackness, Kevin Young describes the term Jazz as both a noun and a verb. He further explains that jazz from the time of its origins through, let's say the 1980s, was a word used to describe action. Such as the ...

Michael Jefry Stevens, Eliot Wadopian: Mountain Song

Read "Mountain Song" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Album non privo di sottigliezze, di logica, di una visione coerente del dialogo a due voci, ma neppure di frequenti fasi di stanca, ripetitività e modesto appeal emozionale, questo Mountain Song, che vede uno di fronte all'altro due musicisti avvezzi alla libera improvvisazione così come a forme di interazione più definite. L'incisione risale ...

Ellery Eskelin Trio Willisau: Live

Read "Live" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

I considered writing just this sentence as my review of Ellery Eskelin's trio recording Live, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Taken from poet John Keats' 1818 poem “Endymion," the line just about says it all. Ok, to appease those that need a bit more information, Keats continues, “its loveliness increases / ...

Masabumi Kikuchi: Black Orpheus

Read "Black Orpheus" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Black Orpheus, the solo piano CD from Japanese-born pianist Masabumi Kikuchi, may be the starkest, loneliest music in the world. Masabumi Kikuchi (1939-2015) was a versatile, if ultimately idiosyncratic artist. Early in his career he worked with a panoply of mainstream music makers, everyone from drummer Elvin Jones, to producer arranger Gil Evans, tenor ...
