Last Exit: Iron Path
by Mark Corroto
In saxophonist Peter Brötzmann's interview memoir We Thought We Could Change The World (Wolke Verlag Hofheim, 2014) he spoke about meeting Sonny Sharrock in Berlin 1969, when the guitarist was working for Herbie Mann. Brotzmann never forgot the meeting, and when bassist Bill Laswell conceived the idea of Last Exit in the mid-1980s, Sharrock was on ...
Fred Lonberg-Holm/Ken Vandermark: Resistance
by Mark Corroto
When you consider all the musicians that have recorded duos with cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm, it sounds kind of like the SPAM Monty Python sketch comedy piece. “Yes, I'll have some Fred Lonberg-Holm and Ken Vandermark." What, you don't want Fred Lonberg-Holm and Axel Dörner, or Fred Lonberg-Holm and Mats Gustafsson, or Fred Lonberg-Holm and Peter Brotzmann, ...
Cactus Truck: Seizures Palace
by Mark Corroto
You have to go back to the energy jazz of Splatter Trio or maybe the punk band Black Flag to find a band comparable to Cactus Truck. The Amsterdam-based trio of drummer Onno Govaert (Vanilla Riot), bassist/guitarist Jasper Stadhouders (The Bureau Of Atomic Tourism), and American-born saxophonist John Dikeman (Universal Indians) play a brand of, bar-clearing ...

Peter Brotzmann/Keiji Haino/Jim O'Rourke: Two City Blues 2
by Mark Corroto
The music of legendary jazz saxophonist Peter Brötzmann is at its finest when the great man has something to push against. Typically these performances find him collaborating with drummers like Hamid Drake, Paal Nilssen-Love, Steve Noble, or Nasheet Waits. The music is built upon a power-versus-power formula. The drummer bloodies his nose, and he's off--throwing roundhouse ...

Various Artists: I Never Meta Guitar Three
by Glenn Astarita
Few would be more equipped to produce this series of various guitarists parading their avant-garde stuff other than New York City-based, and world-renown experimental guitar acolyte, Elliot Sharp. This third installment of the ongoing extravaganza showcases the far-flung imaginations of 18 artists, continuously pushing the envelope via a kaleidoscopic presentation sketched with unconventional acoustic-electric tone poems. ...

Konstrukt and William Parker: Live At NHKM
by Mark Corroto
Let me propose the notion that American poet Emily Dickinson was a free jazz fan. Sure, you have to look past the fact that she died in 1886, when Buddy Bolden was but nine years old. But consider her words: “The worthlessness of Earthly things/The Ditty is that Nature Sings -/And then -enforces their delight/Til Synods ...
Ziga Koritnik and The Eye
by John Kelman
In a time when cameras are more pervasive and invasive than they've ever been--with iPhones, iPads, Androids and low-price point-and-shoot devices lending the impression that everyone is a photographer--photo artists like Žiga Koritnik, paradoxically, stand out more than ever. Sure, anyone can take a picture, but to get to the heart of a subject and truly ...
