Various Artists: Our New Orleans 2005
by AAJ Staff
One of the best and most tragic ways we have to know how much something matters is to go through the experience of having it taken away. To the people of lowland New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina was the end of a way of life. To the people of the United States, New Orleans herself winked out ...
Brad Mehldau Trio: Day Is Done
by Andrew Velez
Since the early '90s, Brad Mehldau's considerable output has most consistently been in the trio format. Especially notable were the five volumes of The Art of the Trio. Making his debut here with the new unit is drummer Jeff Ballard, who replaces Jorge Rossy; Larry Grenadier holds down his accustomed spot on bass. This is “friendly ...
Steve Reich: You Are (Variations)
by John Kelman
The liner notes to the Pat Metheny Group's album-length epic The Way Up give special thanks to contemporary composer Steve Reich.

Brad Mehldau Trio: Day Is Done
by John Dworkin
More than any other artist, Brad Mehldau has tapped into today's jazz zeitgeist. Oft-times (maybe always), a cultural zeitgeist is difficult to define or encapsulate. But you know it when you see (hear) it: In walked Brad. That's part of the function, mystery, and beauty of Art. It gives form to what would otherwise be near ...

Brad Mehldau Trio: Day is Done
by John Kelman
Sometimes it's not a good idea to mess with a good thing. Pianist Brad Mehldau's trio has remained stable since emerging on the scene in the mid-1990s, giving it time to evolve and establish the kind of chemistry that's only possible with a long-term relationship. But as freshly innovative as albums including his five memorable Art ...
Pat Metheny/Ornette Coleman: Song X: Twentieth Anniversary
by AAJ Staff
Metheny fans who hadn't already caught the clues on 80/81 (ECM, 1980) or Rejoicing (ECM, 1984) were in for an electric shock when they hit play on the original Song X back in 1986... and more than a few copies immediately landed in resale bins as a result. The truth, not exactly a mystery--but still a ...
Rokia Traor: Bowmbo
by Eyal Hareuveni
Rokia Traoré presents an entirely different role model for an African female singer. She reflects on her Malian tradition and sings exclusively in her native language, Bamanan, which she chose because of its particular richness in metaphor and texture. But as she declares on “K”tê Don," from her third release, Bowmboï: “I respect my ancestors/But tradition ...
Bill Frisell: East/West
by AAJ Staff
Though he's passed through several phases during the last two decades, guitarist Bill Frisell has manifested an uncanny ability to transport listeners across gaps in time, space, and style. His jump-cut playing with Naked City did this in a blunt and abrupt fashion; recordings from his country-tinged period tugged at the very roots of American string ...
