Dan Clucas / Immediately: Exile
by Mark Corroto
This disc had me from the first few notes, and that's a rare event, especially when it is by a new (unfamiliar) artist. Cornetist Dan Clucas can be heard on a couple Jeff Kaiser Ockodektet (large ensemble) sessions, but otherwise you might not have heard his music. And besides drummer Rich West, who has ...
Steuart Liebig / Stigtette: Delta
by John Kelman
While he's experimented with larger ensembles on albums like Pomegranate (Cryptogramophone, 2001), contrabassguitarist Steuart Liebig tends to favour the more intimate context of the quartet. But his groups have been anything but conventional, with his three Quartetto Stig albums featuring violin, trumpet, contrabassguitar, and drums, and last year's Quicksilver (pfMentum) a combination of flute, violin, contrabassguitar, ...
Brad Dutz: Nine Gardeners Named Ned
by Rex Butters
Los Angeles percussionist Brad Dutz spends more time outside on Nine Gardeners Named Ned. With names like Kris Tiner, John Fumo, Sara Schoenbeck, and Ellen Burr joining the ensemble for a session of snails and adventure, the listener can expect some rare and exotic blooms. Throw William Roper's wry words into the mix, and they morph ...
Wayne Peet Quartet: Live at Al's Bar
by John Kelman
Some things are worth the wait. It's taken four years for Left Coast keyboardist Wayne Peet to mix this live recording from Al's Bar in Los Angeles, and another two to release it. But Live at Al's Bar--featuring guitarists Nels Cline and G.E. Stinson, along with drummer Russell Bizzett--is the kind of recording that never goes ...
Wayne Peet Quartet: Live at Al's Bar
by Jim Santella
Recorded several years ago at a live club date in Los Angeles, Wayne Peet's quartet boils over with a hot, steamy affair that brings you up and out of your seat within minutes. The crafty organist, best known for the creative improvised music that he's worked out with Vinny Golia, as well as numerous Southern California ...
Kris Tiner and Mike Baggetta: There, Just As You Look For It
by Jim Santella
Trumpeter Kris Tiner and guitarist Mike Baggetta interpret this set of original compositions with an ear toward meaningful conversation and an eye on balance. Baggetta's light, acoustic guitar spits and spurts with understated emotion, while Tiner's horns express a wide range of feelings. Their musical conversation heats up in places and slows to a crawl elsewhere ...
Many Axes: 2 Many Axes
by Trevor MacLaren
Many Axes is the brainchild of Susan Rawcliffe, who makes ceramic flutes based on centuries-old instruments. After learning the instruments she creates, Rawcliffe jams with wind player Scott Wilkinson and percussionist Brad Dutz, who make up the rest of the trio. This music is an adventure, if nothing else. The players create a variety of sounds ...
