Upstate New York Jazz: Brian Patneaude, Lee Shaw, Steve Lambert
by J Hunter
A famous New Yorker cover shows Manhattan in detail up to the Hudson River, and then the rest of the nation is one small, faceless block. Jazz in the Empire State is seen the same way--everything in Manhattan, nothing in the hinterlands. But a few hours up the New York Thruway is Albany, birthplace of vibes ...
George Robert Jazztet: Remember the Sound (Homage to Michael Brecker)
by George Kanzler
Working with a tentet similar to mid-size bands he's led on his own projects, composer/arranger Jim McNeely has fashioned a musical tribute to the late Michael Brecker that manages to conjure up aspects of the late saxophonist's music and musical personality, without resorting to overt mimicry or pastiche. Led by alto saxophonist George Robert, with faculty ...

The “mashup," the blending of two or more songs to create a new work, has steadily gained popularity over the last decade. It is only fitting then that creative musicians feel free to utilize a similar approach when producing original music. Drummer Bobby Previte's Pan Atlantic seems to be an excellent example. The ...
Ned Rothenberg / Catherine Jauniaux / Barre Phillips: While You Were Out
by Kurt Gottschalk
Belgian vocalist Catherine Jauniaux is one the most underappreciated of a generation of free improv vocalists.

She has released only a handful of records with ...
Hakon Kornstad: Dwell Time
by A. Henkin
32-year-old Norwegian saxophonist Håkon Kornstad continues to skirt the competing modern Scandinavian jazz aesthetics of Jan Garbarek and Mats Gustafsson. In 2008 he participated in the stunning Elise (Compuctio, 2008), a delicate acoustic duo exploration with bassist and countryman Ingebrigt Håker Flaten. Kornstad's Dwell Time is, in many ways, a companion piece to that disc in ...
