Paul Bley: Barrage

Read "Barrage" reviewed by Stuart Broomer

by Stuart Broomer

At times circumstance conspires to hide a masterpiece: it may be the artist's lack of reputation; perhaps it doesn't resemble his more typical works or it's just overshadowed by more prominent or better promoted music. Paul Bley's Barrage is such a work. Produced in 1964 when most of the band was unknown, it's a singularly non-lyrical ...

Sun Ra: Sun Ra (featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold)

Read "Sun Ra (featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold)" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza

by Jerry D'Souza

The event was billed as Four Days in December, and on the last four days of 1964, Judson Hall in New York City was witness to a torrent of free jazz. The series of concerts featured Cecil Taylor,Bill Dixon, Archie Shepp, Paul Bley, John Tchicai, Roswell Rudd and, perhaps fittingly enough on New Year's Eve, the ...

Vinnie Sperrazza: Peak Inn

Read "Peak Inn" reviewed by Clifford Allen

by Clifford Allen

The piano trio is a medium that became immensely popular with Bill Evans' meteoric rise on the international scene in the '50s and has remained an astonishingly equilateral creative outlet for an extraordinary array of harmonic and rhythmic complexity. However, there aren't a lot of groups taking the chances available to them, instead mining the standard ...

Paul Motian: Live at the Village Vanguard, Vol. II

Read "Live at the Village Vanguard, Vol. II" reviewed by Ted Gordon

by Ted Gordon

This is indoor music: music for contemplating, sitting and smoking, letting it smolder in the ears and grow. Paul Motian, the veteran drummer whose mature, idiosyncratic percussive language has been shaped by years of playing with Bill Evans, Paul Bley, Keith Jarrett and others, shines on this album: he seems completely at home, considered, even slow ...

Sun Ra: Sun Ra Featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold

Read "Sun  Ra Featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

by Raul d'Gama Rose

Sun Ra featuring Pharoah Sanders & Black Harold is a near mythical document of the astral traveling Arkestra. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, this recording came a year before the now historic and certainly definitive Arkestra records, Heliocentric Worlds Vol. 1 & 2 (ESP, 1965) and Magic City (Saturn, 1965) that came hot on ...

Andratx: Live

Read "Live" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

The Nordic jazz trio of Jonas Kullhammar, Kresten Osgood and Ole Morten Vågan is the type of super group that keeps the jazz tradition alive, not in the sense of an institution as much as a provocateur praxis. Andratx Live is its second release following a self-titled record on Moserbie in 2007. The three ...
