Neil Cowley: A Rock and Roll Take on Jazz
by Bruce Lindsay
It's not an observation based on hard evidence, but the jazz world seems to be more awash with piano trios than it has been for many years. Whether it's a whim of fashion, a response to economic recession, a reaction to the over-digitization of music technology, or something else entirely, is far from clear. But there ...
Petrus Kapell: A Call For Silence
by Jakob Baekgaard
Whatever the reason may be, the influence of country music is rarely heard among modern jazz guitarists. Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny are among the relatively few that have explored the legacy of bluegrass and country and transformed it into a singular musical expression. Keeping this is in mind, it is all the more surprising to ...

Nelson Veras: Solo Session Vol. 1
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Guitarist Nelson Veras's considerable sideman experience has favored the acoustic instrument--a highlight is his mild-mannered straight man to Manu Codjia's volatile electric guitar on Christophe Wallemme's fine large-ensemble Namaste (Bee Jazz, 2006).The relationship between Veras's playing and classic Brazilian guitar--Hélio Delmiro, João Gilberto, Bola Sete--is like that between James Blood Ulmer's playing and the ...
The Dave Liebman Group: Turnaround: The Music of Ornette Coleman
by John Kelman
When listening to Ornette Coleman's music from the fertile period of his 1959-1961 Atlantic albums--beautifully documented on the aptly titled Beauty is a Rare Thing (Rhino, 1993) box set--it's perhaps a little difficult to understand what all the hubbub was about. As is so often the case, time turns naysayers into champions, and many of the ...
Lars Danielsson: Signature Edition 3
by John Kelman
That Swedish bassist Lars Danielsson is a pliant, flexible player who's worked with American artists including John Abercrombie, Pat Metheny, and David Liebman, and notable European names such as Eivind Aarset, Ulf Wakenius, and Nils Petter Molvær isn't much of a secret--at least, not to audiences on the east side of the Atlantic. In North America ...
Ulf Wakenius: Signature Edition 2
by John Kelman
For the second in its Signature Edition compilations, dedicated to--and selected by--its vanguard artists, ACT profiles a guitarist who only became an exclusive artist in 2005, with the release of his homage to pianist Keith Jarrett--Notes From the Heart--but whose career truly demands retrospection and reevaluation. Unlike Signature Edition 1's fusion guitarist Nguyên Lê, who has ...
Nguyen Le: Signature Edition 1
by John Kelman
Few musicians embody the word fusion" more than Parisian-born guitarist Nguyên Lê. The son of Vietnamese immigrants, for the past 25 years he's been mining a combination of fusion by the more conventional definition--the infusion of rock energy into the jazz sphere--with fusion in a broader sense, the seamless integration of music from cultures around the ...
