Brandon Seabrook: Sylphid Vitalizers
by Stefano Merighi
Non c'è davvero paragone tra quello che Brandon Seabrook propone all'interno dei diversi gruppi in cui presta la sua luciferina opera di chitarrista (ad esempio Power Plant o i Black Host di Gerald Cleaver) e in questa singolare prova in solitudine. Nel primo caso emerge un talento improvvisativo molto brillante nel confondere avant, rock e psichedelia; ...
Tim Berne's Snakeoil: You've Been Watching Me
by Mark Corroto
The music of saxophonist Tim Berne has invariably raised the question: where have you been? His early self-released sessions (collected in the Empire Box (Screwgun, 1999)) from the late-1970s and early 80s gave no quarter to the neo-conservative jazz movement. Signed by Columbia Records (what were they thinking?) he forged ahead with his incendiary vision, only ...
Wadada Leo Smith/ Hardedge: The Nile
by Dan McClenaghan
Avant-garde trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith has crafted epic sets, like the four disc Ten Freedom Summers (Cunieform Records, 2012), inspired by the Civil Rights Movement. And then there are the near-epics: 2014's The Great Lakes Suite (TUM Records, 2014), a two disc celebration of North America's great waterway. And sometimes he offers up, in contrast, fairly ...
Ted Daniel's Energy Module: Innerconnection
by John Sharpe
Although 72-year old trumpeter Ted Daniel remains active on the scene -courtesy of his Duology partnership with clarinetist Michael Marcus, and his own International Brass and Membrane Corps -a significant part of his recent output has focused on archival recordings. As such, the first time release of the 2 CD Innerconnection from fall 1975 neatly fits ...

The Allman Brothers Band: Live - Beacon Theatre New York City 10-28-14
by Doug Collette
The most stirring moments of the Allman Brothers Band's concert recording from New York City's Beacon Theatre on October 28, 2014 occur near the end of its nearly four-hour performance--not surprisingly, within a rendition of the group's signature instrumental, “Mountain Jam"--that are as emphatic as they are mellifluous. The patient but rabid audience offers instant recognition ...

Tony Adamo: Tony Adamo & The New York Crew
by Nicholas F. Mondello
Some wit once quipped that when you go to Heaven, you hear the voice of God--who is actually imitating the late, great “movie trailer guy," Don LaFontaine. If that's so, for those jazzers entering the Heavenly corner reserved for bereted hipsters and late-night flipsters, Big G must assuredly be trying to cop Tony Adamo.
Andrew Drury: Content Provider
by Dave Wayne
On the wittily-titled Content Provider, Seattle-born, NYC- based drummer and composer Andrew Drury leads a remarkable band consisting of saxophonists Briggan Krauss (best-known for his work with Sex Mob) and Ingrid Laubrock, and gonzo electric guitarist Brandon Seabrook. Despite lacking a bassist (Seabrook provides some bass- line like figures here and there) it's a small band ...
