Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day
by Troy Collins
A consummate example of the traveling musician, Canadian-born composer/percussionist Harris Eisenstadt's journeys have taken him from a long-term residency on the West Coast (with frequent trips to Chicago) to multiple trips abroad to study drumming in West Africa before relocating to New York. The majority of Eisenstadt's releases have been documents of singular projects; ad-hoc ensembles ...
Bill Dixon: In Medias Res
by Clifford Allen
Trumpeter and composer Bill Dixon is one of those rare figures in creative music who was both there as it took its initial steps and currently remains at the forefront of contemporary improvisation. In the last two years, he has directed or co-led orchestral configurations and recorded and performed with hand-picked small groups of international renown. ...
Scott Tinkler: Trumpet Down Under
by Ludwig vanTrikt
Bassist/composer Lindsey Horner recently said, “I think one thing that has really changed in the past quarter century is that the music has become so broad, so truly international and genre-encompassing that the days when jazz was one very definable, finite thing are well and truly gone." These remarks also serve to introduce this interview with ...
Talibam!: Boogie in the Breeze Blocks
by Raul d'Gama Rose
At first, Talibam!'s Boogie in the Breeze Blocks appears to be regurgitated Doors-meets-Frank Zappa-meets-Ornette Coleman-meets razor-sharp punk. But then, why waste time trying to do what many would, which is put anything new in a category? This is wildly new music, fresh in its approach to the collision of melody, harmony and rhythm that ...
Peter Evans: Nature/Culture
by AAJ Italy Staff
Centootto (108) minuti di improvvisazione solitaria alla tromba sono un impresa titanica per il musicista e forse, in misura maggiore, per l'ascoltatore. Soprattutto se la narrazione in senso tradizionale è bandita, se gli appigli melodici sono merce rarissima, se non vi è l'ombra di una cover, se... Insomma Peter Evans, trombettista dei formidabili Mostly Other People ...

Peter Evans: Nature/Culture
by John Eyles
Peter Evans' previous solo album, More is More (Psi, 2006), began an unbroken sequence of releases that demonstrates why the trumpeter is increasingly regarded with a mixture of awe and wonder. That solo album was followed by his debut as a leader, The Peter Evans Quartet (Firehouse 12, 2007) and Check for Monsters (Emanem, 2009), featuring ...
Seabrook Power Plant: Seabrook Powerplant
by Troy Collins

Despite his relatively limited discography, the New England Conservatory graduate has been active since the mid-1990s, as a member of Radical Jewish Culture pioneers Naftule's Dream, the eclectic ...
