Chris Pasin: Ornettiquette
by Chris Mosey
It's amazing how quickly what was billed as the future of jazz became its past. In 1959 when saxophonist Ornette Coleman released his third album, he wanted to call it Focus On Sanity. Instead, at the insistence of Atlantic producer Nesuhi Ertegun, it was portentously titled The Shape Of Jazz To Come. Other musicians took heed ...
Diane Moser: Birdsongs
by Jerome Wilson
There is a tradition of composers finding inspiration in the songs of birds. Olivier Messiaen did it in the classical realm and Eric Dolphy did it in the jazz world. Pianist Diane Moser follows in that tradition on this CD, turning birdsong into a bevy of haunting compositions both for solo piano and the trio of ...
Bill Warfield: For Lew
by Jack Bowers
The “Lew" referred to on Renaissance man Bill Warfield's latest big-band album, For Lew, is the late trumpeter Lew Soloff, whom Warfield remembers in the liner notes as “my mentor, colleague, friend and inspiration." The inspiration arrived when the teen-age Warfield, who had switched from trumpet to piano after losing his front teeth in an auto ...
Diane Moser: Birdsongs
by Troy Dostert
While she hasn't gotten quite the recognition she deserves, pianist/composer Diane Moser has steadily released a series of fine recordings over the last couple decades. Her 17-piece Composers Big Band recorded Live at Tierney's Tavern in 1999 (on the New Arts label), but she's also made some excellent smaller-group records, some of which have featured some ...

Chris Pasin: Baby It's Cold Outside
by Dan Bilawsky
Chris Pasin clearly buys into the idea that spreading holiday cheer with and for those who are near and dear is a beautiful manifestation of the Christmas spirit. For Baby It's Cold Outside the veteran trumpeter gathered seven of his musical chums and put together a program of tried-and-true yuletide nuggets, remaining loyal enough to the ...

INNERrOUTe: Fourmation
by John Ephland
Starting with keyboardist Joe Vincent Tranchina's steady, alarming tone, Fourmation suggests an emergency of some kind. “Consensual Motion" gradually includes the other three members entering the fray, a fray that's loose and free-form, and eventually calming, not to mention a little bit funky. Michael D'Agostino's drum fills combine with Bill McCrossen's probing basslines to form a ...
The Gary McFarland Legacy Ensemble: Circulation: The Music of Gary McFarland
by Angelo Leonardi
Chi si ricorda di Gary McFarland? Ha attraversato gli anni sessanta come una meteora fino a spegnersi a soli 38 anni, il 2 novembre 1971. Fu un significativo compositore, orchestratore e leader che iniziò a suonare il vibrafono a 23 anni, bruciando le tappe: nel 1960, appena diplomato al Berklee College (dove studiò composizione), ...
