Dave Rempis/Joshue Abrams/Avreeayl Ra: Aphelion
by Mark Corroto
The blossoming of an artist is a beautiful thing. In order for a musician to thrive in today's jazz world, he must be willing to operate in multiple lineups, go on book tours, organize other musicians' shows, and record and promote his own music. A tall task, but saxophonist Dave Rempis has made the jump from ...
John Sharpe's Best Releases of 2013
by John Sharpe
Here are twelve new releases which stood out from those I heard this year, in no special order. Mostly Other People Do The Killing Slippery Rock (Hot Cup Records) Leader and bassist Moppa Elliott's songwriting talents haven't deserted him: his charts, named after small Pennsylvania towns, are bursting at ...
Hrayr Attarian's Top Dozen with a Feminine Bend for 2013
by Hrayr Attarian
Here is my top dozen for 2013 (with a feminine bent and in alphabetical order). Women remain unjustly underrepresented as instrumentalists in jazz. Hopefully these superb records will help improve that disparity by introducing listeners to these outstandingly creative artists and their stimulating work. Jamie Baum In This Life ...
Harrison Bankhead Quartet: Velvet Blue
by Mark Corroto
Harrison Bankhead's time has come. The Advancement of Creative Music (AACM) is on a roll with the release of Velvet Blue. For decades, the bassist has been the bedrock upon which great Chicago jazz has been built. He was the foundation for legendary players like Fred Anderson, Von Freeman, Roscoe Mitchell, Muhal Richard Abrams, and Malachi ...
Rob Mazurek's Exploding Star Electro Acoustic Orchestra: The Space Between
by Hrayr Attarian
Musical adventurer Rob Mazurek's The Space Between is a provocative and heady fusion of sight and sound. The double disc set includes an audio CD and a DVD containing performance and multimedia artist Marianne M. Kim's haunting, abstract video accompaniment to the music. The forty-minute suite is divided conveniently, and perhaps whimsically, into eight ...
Nicole Mitchell Premieres Collaborative Multi-Arts "Mandorla Awakening" November 22-23, 2013
"A couple awakens in another environment. Perhaps it's a new planet, or perhaps it's another state of mind. Either way, transformation is in-evitable." This quote is from Nicole Mitchell's sci-fi narrative “Mandorla Awakening," which has developed into a multi-arts collaboration of new electro-acoustic music by creative flutist/composer Nicole Mitchell, choroegraphy by Lisa Naugle and video by ...
Harris Eisenstadt: Golden State
by AAJ Italy Staff
Già l'organico, con una front line forte di flauto e fagotto, ci dice quali tinte cameristiche avvolgano questo CD del batterista canadese (tutti suoi i brani), inciso nel novembre 2012 a San Diego, dove vive e insegna Mark Dresser. In verità la componente jazzistica è tutt'altro che elusa, il che si avverte con chiarezza già nel ...
Nicole Mitchell: Engraved in the Wind
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nuovo lavoro per la quarantaseienne flautista di Syracuse (ma com'è noto chicagoana d'adozione, e dal 2011 docente alla California University di Irvine) per la Rogue Art, stavolta senza accompagnamento alcuno. Vi aleggia un incedere generalmente limpido, netto, timbricamente prezioso, che ora sposa la causa del solo puro e altrove opta invece per la sovraincisione. Il canonico ...
Harris Eisenstadt: Golden State
by Glenn Astarita
Toronto-born drummer, composer Harris Eisenstadt is headquartered in the fertile artistic environs of New York City, and each new release divulges his thirst for ingenuity. He's emerged as an important voice within progressive jazz circles while gathering the crème de la crème of artists to help support his visions. Thus, Golden State is a polyrhythmic presentation ...
