Josh Roseman: Reimagining the Constellations

Read "Josh Roseman: Reimagining the Constellations" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke


Josh Roseman is a busy man. Extremely busy. He's also an extremely bright one, which is good because otherwise one might pause to consider whether, with all those activities, he is wearing himself too thin. Turns out he is spreading wide, but nothing about him or his many pursuits is thin. Especially not his creativity.

Ray Anderson - Marty Ehrlich: Hear You Say - Live in Willisau

Read "Hear You Say - Live in Willisau" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Che due artisti come Ray Anderson e Marty Ehrlich avessero molte cose in comune non è certo un gran mistero: incrociatisi più volte nell'arco di una carriera ultra-trentennale, i due musicisti condividono una visione molto ampia del linguaggio afroamericano, visione che hanno deciso di condividere in questo ottimo quartetto completato da una ritmica solida come quella ...

Anthony Braxton: Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978

Read "Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978" reviewed by Jeff Stockton


Jazz is often viewed as a progressive art form, one that by its very nature is constantly changing and reinventing itself. The paradox is that change isn't always what the audience wants to hear, so it frequently takes awhile simply to catch up. Such seems to be the case with the music of Anthony Braxton, one ...

Daniel Blacksberg: Bit Heads

Read "Bit Heads" reviewed by Clifford Allen


It's somewhat surprising that there aren't too many active trombone/bass/drums power trios around, with the model being strongly set in the late 1970s New York scene by such bands as BassDrumBone (trombonist Ray Anderson, drummer Gerry Hemingway, bassist Mark Helias) and the comparable, albeit freer group Brahma, with drummer Barry Altschul. The lack of current 'bone-heavy ...

Anthony Braxton: Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978

Read "Creative Orchestra (Koln) 1978" reviewed by Troy Collins

One of these albums, the seminal Creative Orchestra Music 1976, was recently reissued as part of Mosaic Records' ...

Nick La Riviere: Too Much To Do

Read "Too Much To Do" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


The warmth of the trombone as a brass instrument is astounding. Masters of the instrument such as Roswell Rudd, Slide Hampton, Steve Turre, Ray Anderson and Papo Vazquez give this wondrous instrument a near-human voice using smears and growls, groans and sighs. Canada is suddenly becoming a breeding ground for fine young instrumentalists who are adding ...
