Lol Coxhill / Roger Turner: Success With Your Dog
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Listening to soprano saxophonist, Lol Coxhill on Success With Your Dog, it is tempting to dwell on the thought that Coxhill pushes the straight horn further, much further, than the late Steve Lacy. It is, of course, natural. Coxhill emerged around the same time as Lacy, and both men came long after Sidney Bechet, and the ...
Gary Todd / Dave Solomon / John Russell / Nigel Coombes / Steve Beresford: Teatime
by Raul d'Gama Rose
These are seminal works of European improvised music. What makes them all the more exciting is the fact that this is the one and only time that they will ever be played this way. Remembering Eric Dolphy's famous broadcast over Dutch Radio recorded on May 29, 1964, just weeks before he died, “When you hear music, ...
Leslie Pintchik: We're Here to Listen
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Leslie Pintchik inhabits an ocean of sound by herself and much more with her trio. The pianist creates her own ebb, and rip currents with the undulating swell of her playing. Her technique is flawless, and she has a natural tendency for irony, and even humor, as she simply spreads her hands on the keyboards and ...
Karl-Heinz Stockhausen: Plus-Minus
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Karl-Heinz Stockhausen/Ives EnsemblePlus-Minushat(now)ART2010 There can be little doubt that the composer Karl-Heinz Stockhausen has had--and continues to have--an ever widening influence on contemporary music. Beginning in the 20th century and continuing on into the 21st century, Stockhausen's masterly use of tonal colour and advanced use of timbral ...
Dave Holland & Pepe Habichuela: Hands
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The music on Hands, featuring stellar turns primarily from Spanish guitarist Pepe Habichuela and British-born bassist Dave Holland, is quite simply one of the most captivating on record. It is completely an alternative to style, to mere virtuosity, and to angelic grace and charm, as dictated by a muse. This music is the epitomé of the ...
Lucian Ban / John Hebert: Enesco Re-Imagined
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The life and music of the prodigiously talented Romanian violinist, composer and conductor, George Enesco has been well-preserved and generously honored--not simply by the cognoscenti, but by the appreciative audiences of Romania's George Enesco Festival, that was set up to propagate the music of the composer beyond its preservation in the museum that bears his name ...
Paquito D'Rivera: Tango Jazz: Live at Lincoln Center
by Raul d'Gama Rose
One of the greatest love affairs in music is the one between folk music and dance. This extremely covert relationship has spilled over into contemporary music as well--more so in musical excursions in Europe (where even Igor Stravinsky sang its praises with compositions of his own) and in Latin America. One of the most beloved of ...
Richie Beirach & Dave Liebman: Quest for Freedom
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Quest for Freedom--featuring soprano saxophonist Dave Liebman, pianist Richie Beirach, and the arrangements of Jim McNeely, and performed with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band--contains some of the most vivid music on record. Almost all of this has to do with three factors: Liebman and Beirach's ingenious compositions and stunning performances; McNeely's intuitive arrangements; and the sublime ...
John McNeil and Bill McHenry: Chill Morn He Climb Jenny
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Navigating the wide avenue of American Song can be boring, because the same charts appear on album after album; but when musicians either pick little-known charts of the celebrated composers of the American Songbook, or add little-known composers to that musical tome, things get quirky, but utterly refreshing. This is exactly the case in point regarding ...
Chico Pinheiro: There's a Storm Inside
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The near falsetto vocals of Chico Pinheiro perfectly offset the voluptuous music that he has created on There's a Storm Inside. However narrow his vocal range, Pinheiro is a master storyteller and weaves his lines like an elaborate tapestry, a sort of patchwork quilt that tells the story his way. Pinheiro has a softness that seems ...
