Tom Harrell: Prana Dance
by David Adler
Following up his 2007 effort Light On (HighNote), trumpeter Tom Harrell continues to document his original compositional voice and uncommonly tight working band with Prana Dance. Again there's the youthful, hungry lineup of tenor saxophonist Wayne Escoffery, pianist Danny Grissett and drummer Johnathan Blake, with long-serving Harrell stalwart Ugonna Okegwo digging in on bass. The material ...
Spike Wilner: 3 To Go
by George Kanzler
At a small jazz festival a few years ago the advertised theme was a celebration of Duke Ellington's music. But some featured acts, including one highly regarded younger pianist, obviously hadn't taken the theme very seriously, his only begrudging nod to it being a rendition of the jam session standby, “C-Jam Blues," hardly a tune representative ...
Sampling Barcelonas Jazz Beat
Almost as a rule, jazz musicians travel more widely than their audiences. Because the jazz economy stretches well across the Atlantic Ocean, most viable careers in the music involve a number of local scenes. The New York club circuit bears pervasive evidence of this fluidity, especially now. But sometimes its good to get the message in ...
CODONA: The CODONA Trilogy
by Jeff Stockton
CODONA The CODONA Trilogy ECM Records 2009 Somewhere along the way “world music" became a suspect term.

Positive Catastrophe: Garabatos Volume One
by Martin Longley
This large New York City ensemble is co-led by cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum and the less well-known percussionist Abraham Gomez-Delgado, both of whom divide its original material between themselves. Despite potential difficulties in convening their 10-piece lineup, the band has been gigging steadily around the city, refining its carefully controlled form of anarchy. ...
Fly: Sky & Country
by Jeff Stockton
15 years ago Mark Turner was among a trio of young tenors who were poised to have a lasting impact on jazz. However, having not had Joshua Redman's pedigree or James Carter's flair for self-promotion, Turner's major-label output came and went without generating the attention a musician of his caliber deserved. Today he is a member ...
Joseph C. Phillips, Jr.'s Numinous: Vipassana
by David Adler
Composer-conductor Joseph C. Phillips, Jr. has a way of making his ensemble, Numinous, sound even larger than its 25 pieces. Of the three wind players, Ed Xiques plays five different instruments, Dan Willis handles six, Ben Kono a grand total of eight. As a result, Vipassana, Phillips' sophomore recording, abounds with nearly every sort of flute, ...

Contemporary Interpretation of Japanese Ghostly Ritual by the Kitsune Ensemble
In Edo-era Japan, a popular recreation known as The Gathering of 100 Ghostly Tales involved gathering around candlelight to tell ghost stories. At the conclusion of each story, a candle would be extinguished, until the final story was told in pitch black, and legend held that a ghost would appear in this moment. These Japanese seances ...
