Anderson's innovative and influential style is technically awesome but straight from the heart. He shatters musical categories but remains personal, emotional and accessible. He is often humorous but never predictable. He has given the trombone a whole new sound and also developed a trombone-like way of singing. Born in Chicago in 1952, Ray Anderson started playing trombone when he was eight

Jon Irabagon's Outright!: Recharge the Blade
by Mark Corroto
As with nearly all of saxophonist Jon Irabagon's music, the matter for debate is whether the listener needs to be as caffeinated as the musician. His brand of performance, going back two decades, has been one of constant motion and a bottomless cup of ideas. We heard this in Irabagon's contribution to the band Mostly Other ...

Ray Anderson Pocket Brass Band: Come In

Con tutto il rispetto per il quartetto di musicisti titolare di questa incisione, questo disco potrebbe essere velocemente destinato alla casella bello anche se non fondamentale." Ma c'è una storia da raccontare che forse rende giustizia alla necessità" di volerlo pubblicare e dargli un valore comunque non indifferente. L'11 marzo 2020 è una data ...
Matthew Shipp & Mark Helias: The New Syntax
by John Sharpe
Pianist Matthew Shipp particularly favors the duo format. Among a discography of more than 300 entries are winning combinations with partners as varied as trumpeter Nate Wooley, violist Mat Maneri, and saxophonists Darius Jones, Rob Brown and Evan Parker. But he retains a special fondness for the bass/piano twosome, accounting for multiple meetings with longtime comrade ...
