Catching Up With Gary Husband
by Ian Patterson
Gary Husband has wind in his sails these days. The pianist/keyboardist/drummer and composer has released three outstanding records in nearly as many years, all on Abstract Logix: the heady post-bop Hotwired (2009); the jazz-fusion all-star extravaganza Dirty & Beautiful Vol 1 (2010), and the eagerly awaited follow-up, 2012's Dirty & Beautiful Vol 2. His Dirty & ...
Gary Husband: Dirty & Beautiful Volume 2
by Ian Patterson
With friends as talented as those of pianist/drummer/keyboardist Gary Husband, the musical possibilities are mouthwatering and seemingly endless. With a riotous assembly of jazz fusion greats playing their butts off, Dirty & Beautiful Volume 2 follows suit from Dirty & Beautiful Volume 1 (Abstract Logix, 2010). Several threads tie the two records together. Many of the ...

Bob Downes Open Music Trio: Flashback
by Roger Farbey
Bob Downes may be a name unfamiliar to many, but to some his name is synonymous with an electrifying period in British jazz. Downes was on the cusp of this new movement and recorded some idiosyncratic albums between 1969 and 1970. Deep Down Heavy was almost a rock album, whereas the as yet un-reissued Open Music ...

by Clifford Allen
Solidarity Unit, Inc. Red Black & Green Eremite 2009 Though it certainly had an impact on the landscape of creative music in the 1970s and 1980s as well as it does today, the vanguard improvisation scene in St. Louis isn't as discussed as it should be. The Black Artists Group ...

Ray Russell Quartet: Turn Circle
by Roger Farbey
Vocalion has done it again, with a long overdue reissue of Ray Russell's first album Turn Circle (originally released in on the CBS Realm series), and superbly remastered by Michael J. Dutton.
