Bassist Charnett Moffett Interviewed at AAJ
"I enjoy all of the music, just as I enjoy different aspects of color in paintings, or different people, or different types of food, or things of that nature. For me, it seems to be a more interesting way of life to have an appreciation for all that is offered on the planet." With that simple ...
Charnett Moffett: Improvisational Artistry

Duck Baker: Everything That Rises Must Converge
by Bruce Lindsay
Richard “Duck" Baker's four decade career as a guitarist has encompassed folk, ragtime, blues, jazz, and avant-garde improvisation. Everything That Rises Must Converge is firmly located within the latter genre--indeed, it's sub-titled “Free Jazz Guitar Solos"--but much of the music on this enjoyable record could only have been made by an artist with a firm grasp ...
100nka and Herb Robertson: Superdesert
by Jerry D'Souza
How much shit can one take? Well that depends. If it is being served by the quirky Polish trio 100nka--featuring guitarist Tomek Leś, bassist Adam Stodolski and percussionist Przemek Borowiecki--there may not be quite enough. Their music is rather undefinable, jumping and sneaking as it does into odd nooks and crannies. Much of it comes from ...
Ornette Coleman: la musica e' il verbo
by AAJ Italy Staff
Articolo di Warren Allen “Alcune persone pensano che la musica sia qualcosa di elevato," dice Ornette Coleman, raggiunto al telefono nel suo appartamento di New York. “Ma fondamentalmente si riduce al fatto che le persone ricevono piacere dal suono. E non dall'argomento raccontato dalla musica". Ci sono molti aspetti legati ad Ornette Coleman e alla sua ...
Charles Tyler: Charles Tyler Ensemble
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Charles Tyler Ensemble possesses a profound quality. Unlike many records of the mid-1960s, it burns with a quiet blue flame, eschewing the intellectual posturing that characterized much new music in the avant-garde era. Tyler, a baritone saxophonist who became an acolyte of Albert Ayler--following him to New York in the early part of the movement--transposes Ayler's ...
Rudi Mahall / Axel Dorner / Jan Roder / Uli Jennessen: Die Enttausschung
by Nic Jones
It's only right that the whole membership of this quartet gets equal billing, as this is a group that sublimates the individual in the interest of collective identity. Given the instrumental line-up--two horns, bass and drums--there are, of course, countless precedents for music in this form. The group proves itself to be abundantly aware of them, ...
Art Pepper: The Art History Project
by Mark Corroto
The tragic jazz life and death story of saxophonist Art Pepper was similar to that of Charlie Parker in many ways. Like Bird's brilliance, Art Pepper's intense flame burned bright, and his genius with the saxophone was subject to fan adoration and critical admiration. Unlike Parker, who died at age 35, Pepper lived into his mid-50s, ...
Jean-Nicholas Trottier: Quartet
by Raul d'Gama Rose
If anyone has learned Roswell Rudd's remarkable lesson in the infinitely mammalian voice simulations possible on the trombone, it's Jean-Nicholas Trottier. Quartet, Trottier's small ensemble record--earlier in 2009 he released his first, big band record--features the trombonist in almost splendid isolation, with only saxophonist Alexandre Côtè in play. Along with bassist Sébastien Pellerin and drummer Michel ...
