Pete Robbins: Waits & Measures
by Glenn Astarita
To coincide with an extensive tour of the northeastern US, Brooklyn-based alto saxophonist Pete Robbins has issued his second effort as a leader. And it offers a rock-solid glimpse of his artistry, chops and interesting methodology, all steeped within copious jazz-related genres. Simply stated, Robbins is a style master who sets himself apart from many of ...

Mario Pavone Sextet: Deez to Blues
by AAJ Italy Staff
Mario Pavone ha ben quattro decenni di carriera - cominciata con Paul Bley - alle spalle e sempre più creativo che mai, da accompagnatore a forte leader. Il contrabbassista statunitense ha incontrato ed inciso con tanti musicisti, da Bill Dixon e Anthony Braxton al famoso trio con Tom Chapin, eppure non si stanca mai di inventare ...
Michael Musillami: Fragile Forms
by Troy Collins
Fragile Forms is the debut of Dialect, Michael Musillami's new all-star quartet. The undersung guitarist, well-known for his adventurous and highly consistent Playscape Recordings label, recruited an impressive array of talent for this session. Musillami's previous recording, 2005's muscular Dachau (Playscape), featured his core trio with a few invited guests, including pianist Peter Madsen, who also ...
Thomas Chapin Trio: Ride
by Jerry D'Souza
Thomas Chapin cast a giant shadow on this concert recorded at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 1995. Chapin brought bassist Mario Pavone and drummer Michael Sarin along--a stellar cast which delivered a stellar performance. Chapin, who passed away in 1998, had the imagination that took his compositions into different realms. He never let freedom get ...

Peter Madsen: Prevue of Tomorrow
by AAJ Italy Staff
Giunto alla soglia dei cinquant’anni, Peter Madsen imprime una improvvisa svolta alla sua musica grazie a questa incisione in solitudine per la label indipendente Playscape. Contrariamente alla sua non certo esaltante passata discografia sia da leader che come componente dei Three Of A Kind, questa è un opera di valore, che si svincola dai consueti canoni ...
Pete Robbins: Waits & Measures
by Nic Jones
If Waits & Measures is anything to go by, Pete Robbins likes to subvert form. In a lot of hands this disc might have turned out as no more than a light fusion date, long on melody but so short on character as to be emaciated. In the hands of Robbins and his band, however, this ...

Thomas Chapin Trio: Ride
by Chris May
Whooooah! To keep up with saxophonist/flautist Thomas Chapin on this one, you're going to need some of those monkey adrenal glands Hunter S. Thompson wrote about, or at the very least a seat belt and a note from your mom. Ride--and if ever an album deserved an exclamation mark at the end of its title, this ...
