Oliver Lake / William Parker: To Roy
by John Sharpe
Bassist William Parker has formed productive liaisons with some wonderfully expressive alto saxophone players in the past--Rob Brown and Jemeel Moondoc both spring to mind. But To Roy represents his first time on record with Oliver Lake, best known as a third of Trio 3 and a quarter of the World Saxophone Quartet. They recorded their ...

Bobby Zankel's Warriors of the Wonderful Sound Painted Bride Art Center Philadelphia, PA May 5, 2015 This concert by Bobby Zankel and the Warriors with guest artist Don Byron (who replaced saxophonist Oliver Lake due to the latter's family emergency) was also a celebration of jazz as a rich contributor ...
Ted Daniel's Energy Module: Innerconnection
by Vincenzo Roggero
Innerconnection è l'ennesimo capitolo della preziosa opera di recupero da parte della label lituana No Business nei confronti di artisti di valore non sempre adeguatamente riconosciuti o protagonisti di lavori comparsi come meteore nel panorama discografico dell'epoca. È il caso di questa formazione di alto profilo assemblata dal trombettista Ted Daniel, e messa su vinile nell'autunno ...
Oliver Lake, William Parker: To Roy
by Stefano Merighi
Non mi risulta che Oliver Lake e William Parker abbiano mai collaborato prima di questo ottimo To Roy, almeno in studio. Dal vivo avevano comunemente affiancato la compositrice e suonatrice di zither coreana Jin Hi Kim. E probabilmente si saranno incontrati più volte nei club newyorkesi in tutti questi anni. Ma poco importa. Il loro magistero ...
Ted Daniel's Energy Module: Innerconnection
by John Sharpe
Although 72-year old trumpeter Ted Daniel remains active on the scene -courtesy of his Duology partnership with clarinetist Michael Marcus, and his own International Brass and Membrane Corps -a significant part of his recent output has focused on archival recordings. As such, the first time release of the 2 CD Innerconnection from fall 1975 neatly fits ...
Oliver Lake - William Parker: To Roy
by Glenn Astarita
To Roy is dedicated to the late trumpeter Roy Campbell Jr., who had risen among the ranks as a first-call session artist amid a fruitful career as a leader. He was an astute and powerful improviser who succumbed to cardiovascular disease on January 9, 2014. And this album signifies the first collaboration between ultra-modern jazz giants, ...

2014: The Year in Jazz
by Ken Franckling
The year 2014 turned out to be a year noteworthy for its numbers. Newport turned 60, Blue Note turned 75, International Jazz Day's third edition featured 900 events in more than 190 countries. The jazz world lost seven of its NEA Jazz Masters, and New Orleans trumpeter Lionel Ferbos died at 103. Sad but not unexpected, ...

Tarbaby: Fanon
by John Sharpe
For their fourth album, the collective trio Tarbaby maintain their simultaneously tradition orientated but forward looking aesthetic. At the heart remains the piano of Orrin Evans, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Nasheet Waits. But from the start they have been open to change. As a consequence only one of their releases features the three principals alone. ...
