Champian Fulton: Champian

by George Kanzler
February 11, 2008

Nobody does Duke-style big band music better than David Berger's Sultans of Swing, so just hearing this big band so attuned to swing with such Ellington-ian touches as muted lead and solo brass voices, and weaving saxophones and clarinets is a joy. That the arrangements all feature singer Champian Fulton is not always such a plus. ...

By Michael Hittman It's probably known that since his last recorded gig, Gemini (play Sun Ra Live in Concert) on Birth Records, a 1993 duo with Gunter Hampel in West Germany), serious illnesses--diabetes that led to the loss of a leg followed by additional surgery for a brain tumor--has confined Marion Brown to ...

Kneebody: Low Electrical Worker

by Ivana Ng
February 10, 2008

Kneebody's second full-length album starts off with an aggressive dose of jazz and industrial rock on “Poton." Drummer Nate Wood's slow, deliberate rhythm is irresistible, bordering on obnoxious, and tenor saxophonist Ben Wendel's improvising skills are well-suited to the quintet's combination of pop sensibility, jazz meditation and rock ferocity. A wave of sounds--trumpet, effects, Fender Rhodes, ...

In 2005 Quest did Led Zeppelin one better, reuniting all four original members to play gigs in the US and Europe. Active in the 1980s and into the early 1990s, this super-group was just one project that over the decades involved saxophonist Dave Liebman and pianist Richie Beirach. Interest in the band was renewed by a ...

Italian Jazz

by Thomas Conrad
February 9, 2008

There is a disconnect within the culture of the North American jazz community. On the one hand, jazz people, thrill-seekers by nature, are endlessly in search of sounds they haven't heard before. On the other hand, most North American jazz listeners are oblivious to the richest, deepest source of fresh musical concepts on the current scene: ...
