Miroslav Vitous Group /w Michel Portal: Remembering Weather Report
by John Kelman
On the surface, Remembering Weather Report possesses little in common with the fusion supergroup that Czech bassist Miroslav Vitous co-founded in the early '70s with keyboardist Joe Zawinul and saxophonist Wayne Shorter, before being summarily removed on the cusp of greater commercial success. Weather Report was a decidedly electric group; Vitous' is unapologetically acoustic, and doesn't ...

Theo Jorgensmann: Sheep with Two Heads
by Noel Taylor
Theo Jörgensmann, the German free jazz clarinet maestro likes to quote the Austrian cultural historian, Egon Fridell: “pure originality has no great value--it is like a sheep with two heads." Fridell, who committed suicide in 1938 as the SA arrived at his door, was fond of illustrating his thinking with vivid and elliptical images of this ...

by Bruce Lindsay
Led BibNorwich Arts CentreNorwich, EnglandJune 5, 2009 Led Bib's five band members ambled on to the stage of the Arts Centre and looked friendly enough. They began playing “Yes, Again," and the delicate opening bars from Toby McLaren's keyboard drifted gently across the auditorium. But barely a minute later, as the ...
J. D. Allen Trio: Shine
by Mark Corroto
It's impossible to be an impostor at the gambit in which J.D. Allen's trio is participating. His jukebox length compositions either hit or have the possibility to miss badly. Luckily, he has released a second trio album of all bull's-eyes. Shine! follows the pattern established on I AM I AM (Sunnyside, 2008). ...
