Frode Gjerstad: A Sound Sight
by A. Henkin
Even for a musician of Frode Gjerstad's stature--he has been active internationally since the early 1980s with a panoply of improvising brethren--New York can still be a tough town. Coming in as part of a short Christmas, 2007 tour, his gig at Jimmy's was unceremoniously cancelled. So he was to be found Dec. 11th packed into ...
Jentsch Group Large: Brooklyn Suite
by Graham L. Flanagan
It's nice to see that some of that grant-money floating around out there is being put to good use. Such is the case with guitarist Chris Jentsch's Brooklyn Suite, a 2005 live recording of a complex-yet-highly rewarding suite for 18-piece ensemble. Underwritten by the American Composers Forum and the Jerome Foundation, the project takes full advantage ...
Setting Standards: New York Sessions
by John Kelman
It's hard to believe that Keith Jarrett's “standards" trio, with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette, has been around for a quarter of a century. It's not just the pianist's longest lasting ensemble, but one of most permanent line-ups in jazz history. To celebrate the occasion, ECM Records has released Setting Standards: New ...
Arturo Stable: Notes on Canvas
by Russ Musto
Like so many of his Cubano compatriots, several of whom join him on this, his second date as a leader, percussionist/composer Arturo Stable is expanding the range of what is commonly called Latin jazz--and indeed scope of jazz itself--with original compositions that are drawn from myriad musical influences and, in the case of Notes on Canvas, ...

Marcin Masecki: Meat
by Ernest Barteldes
Polish-born Marcin Masecki might have come to the US to further his jazz studies, but he found his muse among his continent's more experimentalist improvisers (though many of his supporters identify Pennsylvania-born Keith Jarrett as one of his influences). Much of what he plays is improvised on the spot, whether performing solo or with Trio Taq ...
Slow Poke: At Home
by Donald Elfman
Formed at the home of bassist Tony Scherr, Slow Poke--David Tronzo, Michael Blake, Scherr and Kenny Wollesen--play everything slower and funkier. It's an extraordinary idea for a jam band--bring the groove way down and somehow the vibe and energy go way up thanks to the new focus. It certainly helps that all of these guys are ...
