Microscopic Septet: Been Up So Long It Looks Like Down to Me: The Micros Play the Blues
by Karl Ackermann

In 2006 Cuneiform Records re-released the four albums leading to the reformation of the group and presently, ...
Snap: Boggy Creek Bop
by AAJ Italy Staff

In attesa di avere quindi un Microscopic Septet australiano e magari un Fast 'n' Bulbous di ...
The Microscopic Septet: Friday the Thirteenth
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ormai da una ventina d'anni il repertorio standard del jazz ha acquisito la musica di Monk come fosse una cosa naturale. Non solo le prevedibili “'Round Midnight" o “Well You Needn't," rilanciate da Miles Davis negli anni '50 e diventate in qualche modo canoniche; ma soprattutto i brani più personali, irriducibili, ellittici, quelli che solo Coltrane ...
Microscopic Septet: Chance Meeting with the Future
by Gordon Marshall
The Microscopic Septet is all about swing, but swing in a sense extrapolated from the stale, dated pages of the past. Its take on the music of the '30s and '40s is too scholarly to fall off the map as retro, and too deeply felt to be dismissed as a dusty trove of museum pieces. The ...

Phillip Johnston: Page of Madness
by Ken Dryden
Phillip Johnston first drew critical acclaim for his work as a saxophonist and composer in the Microscopic Septet. Since the group disbanded in 1992 (though it reunited for a new recording last year and occasional concerts), he distinguished himself leading various groups of his own (often several at the same time), composing quirky jazz that was ...
Phillip Johnston: Page of Madness
