by Francis Lo Kee
Always interesting and quite different from one to the next, vibraphonist Khan Jamal's recordings have charted a unique course through the world of improvisational music, from trio recordings with bass and drums or guitar and drums to sessions with great horn players (eg. Grachan Moncur III, Byard Lancaster, Charles Tyler, et. al.) to the somewhat psychedelic ...
Steve Kuhn Revisiting an Old Boss Named John Coltrane
The pianist Steve Kuhn can play John Coltranes music meaningfully without sounding as if he lives by it. That shows self-possession, for a couple of reasons. Coltrane was the most influential jazz musician in the late 1950s and 1960s, when Mr. Kuhn got started. And Mr. Kuhn, now 71, also has something many of his peers ...
Power Banjo, Extreme Jazz and a Bit of Twitchy Punk
Seabrook Power Plant began and ended its set on Tuesday night at Zebulon, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with a grimly combative clamor. Jared Seabrook, the bands drummer, bashed a manhole-cover-size ride cymbal and viciously pummeled his snare; Tom Blancarte clawed at his upright bass with something like frenzied desperation.

by Sean Patrick Fitzell
The Thirteenth Assembly was founded as a touring collective that appeals to promoters' predilection for booking multiple acts on a single night.

Joel Harrison: Urban Myths
by Donald Elfman
A key element in Joel Harrison's history is what he calls the “electric jazz" of the '70s. So this smart and inventive guitarist offers his own reconsideration of the music championed nearly 40 years ago. This is powerfully intense music but also has a sense of play that keeps its ingredients engaging. The ...
