Jovan Alexandre’s Debut Album Collective Consciousness Out February 24
“Jovan Alexandre is one of the most exciting new voices to emerge on the tenor saxophone—conceptually—in a long time. A gifted composer, his personal sound can seem variously molten and sharp-cornered within the same tune, sometimes almost within the same phrase. There’s an understated, almost implied, restlessness in his solos… He has that rare originality everyone ...

Anna Webber: Simple
by Dave Wayne
If things aren't just right, listening to complicated music can be like doing your taxes. There has to be chemistry, there has to be a narrative, and--even though you don't know what's coming next--the music's got to be on. The players have to be free to speak in a new language; often one divorced from the ...
Joshua Breakstone: With the Wind and the Rain
by Maurizio Zerbo
L'atipica formazione, chitarra/basso/batteria con violoncello, potrebbe far pensare a digressioni cameristiche. Si impone invece una gioiosa pratica jazzistica per via del quarto strumento utilizzato con le medesime funzioni di chitarra e contrabbasso. Nel solco di una tradizione che annovera diversi maestri (su tutti Oscar Pettiford), si impone superbamente il contrabbassista Mike Richmond qui impiegato solo al ...
Jean-Michel Pilc: What Is This Thing Called?
by Mark Corroto
Jean-Michel Pilc's solo piano recording What Is This Thing Called? might have been titled “Thirty-one Conversations About One Thing." That 'one thing' being his 31 variations on Cole Porter's composition “What Is This Thing Called Love." Why record 31 versions of one song? Maybe ask yourself why Claude Monet created so many paintings of the same ...

Phil Haynes: Phil Haynes’ “No Fast Food” Trio: In Concert
by Dave Wayne
No Fast Food In Concert is rife with all sorts of footnotes and fascinating jazz lineages. But, one can simply enjoy it without being a fact-obsessed music nerd such as me; the first track, a truly pretty-but-not-precious waltz titled “Dawn on the Gladys Marie" is evidence enough of the simple universality of great music. There's a ...

by John Kelman
Since the news came out that Gov't Mule was finally releasing Sco-Mule, a collaboration with broad-minded jazz guitarist John Scofield, there's been plenty of speculation and anticipation. The power trio began as a part-time side project for then-Allman Brothers Band guitarist/singer Warren Haynes and bassist Allen Woody but, along with drummer Matt Abts, was so well-received ...
