Incus Records
by Kurt Gottschalk
Record labels are, in essence, an outlet, a means for production. They are not the paint or the painter but merely the paint factory. They aren't the music, just the medium of delivery. But the good ones are more than that. They engender emotional attachment. They come to represent their times. The orange and ...

Industrial Jazz Group: Leef
by Matthew Miller
It's hard to take anything about the Industrial Jazz Group for granted. Even the LA-based ensemble's name is misleading to the point that its leader, Andrew Durkin, feels the need to address it in the header of the group's website. “So we're not really industrial. Were The Beatles really insects?" As explanations go--humorous as they might ...
David S. Ware: Shakti
by Russ Musto
David S. Ware's Shakti, his first release since the dissolution of his longstanding quartet, is an outstanding addition to the saxophonist's already extraordinary discography. Ware is reunited with bassist William Parker (a member of the earlier quartet, who goes back to Ware's very first recordings as a leader), with veteran Warren Smith seated in the drum ...

Darius Jones: Man'ish Boy (A Raw & Beautiful Thing)
by A. Henkin
Darius Jones sounds like it could be the name of an itinerant preacher or maybe a character in a Flannery O'Connor short story. Neither is actually that much of a stretch after hearing the alto saxophonist's debut as a leader, Man'ish Boy. Throughout run the concurrent threads of celebration and foreboding that exist in the rural ...
Wessell Anderson: Warm It Up, Warmdaddy!
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Alto saxophonist Wessell Anderson is a traditionalist who clearly enjoys upending tradition. On Warm It Up, Warmdaddy! several of the songs rework the harmonic structures of some cherished standards and their titles are the work of someone who embraces the classics without taking them too seriously. The mischief begins with “What Is Dat ...

After a run of opening dates with Chris Isaak last month, Kristina will be hitting the road again in the coming weeks opening for Keb Mo and Susan Tedeschi, giving audiences around the country an early chance to ...
Fay Victor: The Freesong Suite
by Wilbur MacKenzie
Vocalist Fay Victor first appeared in the New York scene in the early '90s but soon moved to the Netherlands, returning in 2003. Victor's years abroad proved to be quite influential on her work, with a slightly Dutch aesthetic informing a quirky blend of absurdism, poetic lyricism and blues-influenced jazz styling. On The Freesong Suite, rather ...
Stanley Clarke: Jazz in the Garden
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Bassist Stanley Clarke has explored many musical genres throughout his storied career, crossing and re-crossing musical boundaries to collaborate with everyone from Art Blakey and Joe Henderson to Chick Corea and Al Di Meola. So it's surprising that Jazz in the Garden is his maiden voyage as the leader of an acoustic band. ...
