Pierre Favre: Albatros

Read "Albatros" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita
February 1, 2011

Renowned Swiss drummer Pierre Favre imparts his kaleidoscopic tonal palette into these intricately exercised and probing duets with fellow countryman, guitarist Philipp Schaufelberger. The musicians cover a gamut of twists, turns and subtle theme building maneuvers, including airy environs and an abundance of tradeoffs. Moreover, Favre balances out the set with structured patterns and asymmetrical rhythms ...

Keefe Jackson and Aram Shelton: Seeing You See and Two Cities

by Clifford Allen
May 29, 2010

The city of Chicago continues to find itself in a jazz renaissance well into the waxing years of the 21st century--a status that many of America's cities can't easily lay claim to. With the pedigrees of individual improvisers and composers like reedman Ken Vandermark and flutist Nicole Mitchell well established in the 1990s, a slightly younger ...
