Mary Halvorson - Michael Formanek - Tomas Fujiwara: Thumbscrew
by Glenn Astarita
Kindred musical spirits unite on this composers' cooperative, featuring three musicians who have been forerunners and antagonists of new-fangled directions in the avant-garde jazz spectrum, other than ripping into customary modern jazz fare with a vengeance. The artists' divergent discographies offer a worldly testament to these aspects, besides their work as first-call session aces. With Michael ...
Peter Evans - Nate Wooley - Jim Black - Paul Lytton: Trumpets and Drums Live in Ljubljana
by Vincenzo Roggero
Due trombe, due batterie. Formazione perlomeno insolita, potenzialmente esplosiva sia ritmicamente che timbricamente, dalle limitate possibilità combinatorie, con un'energia che l'esibizione live dovrebbe liberare in quantità industriali. Ma il disco registrato a Lubiana nel giugno 2012--quello nella capitale slovena è festival tra i più stimolanti, propositivi e meglio organizzati del Vecchio Continente--non va in questa direzione, ...
Mike Davis: Fortunes and Hat-Tricks, Vol. 2
by Eyal Hareuveni
Double bassist Mike Davis organizes his spontaneous, immediate improvisations-compositions according to two arbitrary guidelines. The Fortunes group of such compositions draw its inspiration from evocative song titles taken from about 100 fortune cookies, but Davis and his trio co-conspirators--saxophonist Jacob Duncan and drummer Jason Tiemann--never discuss their different interpretations of these titles before playing. The second ...
Twins of El Dorado: Portend the End
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il duo newyorchese (di Brooklyn, per l'esattezza) Twins of El Dorado sposa un abbinamento decisamente inusuale: voce e tromba. In questo album, inciso nel febbraio 2012, convergono composizioni (con l'elasticità che si deve usare in questi casi, dove l'improvvisazione gioca un ruolo assolutamente centrale) dovute ai due performer, con le eccezioni di “Fare Thee," la cui ...
Ulysses Owens Jr.: Of Odysseys And Evolution
by Dan Bilawsky
The back panel of drummer Ulysses Owens Jr.'s Onward & Upward is adorned with a telling quote from spiritual teacher/writer Ernest Holmes. His statement, that “evolution is proof of an irresistible urge which pushes everything onward and upward," could be applied to myriad topics, but it truly captures the essence of jazz drumming through time; it ...
Don Was: The Music Is Paramount
by R.J. DeLuke
The president of the iconic Blue Note Records, the man who is stewarding the label as it marches into it's 75th anniversary year celebration, comes from the wrong side of the tracks, in a sense. He's not a gut in a suit. He came up through the trenches as a working musician. He liked jazz and ...
