David Finck: Music Spoken Here
by Nick Catalano
In my 20 years of music journalism I have covered many genres: opera, cabaret, jazz, pop, chamber music, symphonic concerts and recitals. Never in my outings have I encountered a musician who has greater generic scope than bassist extraordinaire David Finck. He is totally at home in every setting imaginable. He has been coveted by every ...
March 2008
by AAJ Staff
Leroy Jenkins Memorial at Brooklyn Public Library Although he was seen primarily in the jazz world and his Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians connection during his lifetime, Leroy Jenkins showed on his last few recordings an interest in composing for chamber ensembles. That work filled the first half of a memorial concert Feb. 9th ...

Paul Hemmings: Letter from America
by A. Henkin
It is often necessary to do a cost-benefit analysis when including a “name" on a jazz recording. Will the added recognition be offset either by a lackluster performance that seems purely mercenary or a star shining that much brighter than those around them, creating unevenness? One imagines that guitarist Paul Hemmings has made ...
Ornette Coleman: To Whom Who Keeps a Record
by Kurt Gottschalk
In principle, copies of the Beauty is a Rare Thing (Atlantic, 1992) box set should be issued with every voter registration card; no home is complete without the collection of Ornette Coleman's prodigious 1959-1961 output. A gathering of the six albums released during that time, three later albums culled from those sessions and alternate takes, it ...
New York Art Quartet: New York Art Quartet
by Clifford Allen
Alto saxophonist John Tchicai co-formed the New York Art Quartet in 1964 out of the ashes of the New York Contemporary Five. Enlisting trombonist Roswell Rudd (who arranged some of the latter group's book), the NYAQ was initially to include the Five's rhythm team of bassist Don Moore and drummer J.C. Moses.

Nik Bartsch's Ronin: Holon
by A. Henkin
It may seem odd to begin a CD review by expressing gratitude over its length, but there you have it. Pianist Nik Bärtsch's Holon, with his Ronin group, is a shade under 56 minutes and it is to his credit that he understands that with his particular brand of music, less is more. Like a walk ...
