Brad Mehldau: Live in Tokyo

Read "Live in Tokyo" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

With boundless energy and seemingly endless imagination, Brad Mehldau has evolved into one of the most prolific jazz musicians in the world today. Little surprise then, that a little over six months after the latest release with his trio, we have another sterling piece of work, his first on his new label affiliation. Fans of his ...

Brad Mehldau: Live in Tokyo

Read "Live in Tokyo" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

In the ten years since pianist Brad Mehldau began recording as a leader, starting with '95's Introducing Brad Mehldau , he has emerged as a singular voice with not only a specific vision on his instrument, but also some fairly hefty philosophies which have been detailed in lengthy liner notes on many of his releases. But ...

Some artists spend an entire lifetime within a narrow genre, honing their skill and working at stretching the boundaries of that style, while others transcend all definitions and labels, creating a music that defies categorization. Such is the case with guitarist Bill Frisell, who over a twenty-five year career has contributed to everything from the Nordic ...

Wilco: a ghost is born

Read "a ghost is born" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

It's a bit of a stretch, perhaps, to consider Wilco a jazz band. But if you consider the stylistics leaps Jeff Tweedy & Co. have made since their earliest albums ( Being There , Summerteeth ) and the collective creative process that gave birth to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and now, this new album, perhaps the label ...

Various Artists: The Real Bahamas in Music and Song

Read "The Real Bahamas in Music and Song" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

Here's the (hi)story in a nutshell. The Bahamas, a British colony, outlawed slavery in 1838, which meant that any lucky American slaves who could get there would be free, and the predictable outcome transpired. The music they brought contained the very roots of the blues, the connection between spirituals and folk music. And so generations around ...

Bill Frisell: The Intercontinentals

Read "The Intercontinentals" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

It's time to admit a bias. Anyone who covers Boubacar Traoré automatically scores points in my book. The Malian guitarist is infinitely remote to anyone outside Mali, but that isn't for any good reason except the vagaries of the recording industry. It's fitting that guitarist Bill Frisell would choose “Boubacar" as the opener to The Intercontinentals ...
