Carl Ludwig Hubsch: Carl Ludwig Hubsch

Read "Carl Ludwig Hubsch" reviewed by Nic Jones


Tuba player Hubsch is joined on Carl Ludwig Hubsch's Primordial Soup by trumpet, reeds, and drums for a program of his own compositions which reveals a singular musical intelligence. As with so many musicians and composers working in the constructively grey area between free jazz and contemporary composition, the success of the music is highly dependent ...

Carl Ludwig Hubsch: Carl Ludwig Hubsch's Primordial Soup

Read "Carl Ludwig Hubsch's Primordial Soup" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Composer and tubist Carl Ludwig Hübsch once released a CD of 119 solo tuba pieces. Actually only 99 could fit on the single disc! Try to imagine the record producer having the conversation with the artist, “Sorry Carl, we are going to have to either edit some of this material that runs nearly two minutes or ...

Joelle Leandre: No Comment

Read "No Comment" reviewed by Nic Jones


This is a reissue of a set first put out in 2001. It features bassist and vocalist Joelle Leandre in a set of solo performances in which she exploits the full sonic potential of her instrument. As a stalwart of both free improvisation and contemporary composition, it's perhaps unsurprising how she manages to reconcile these seemingly ...

Matthias Schubert Quartet: Trappola

Read "Trappola" reviewed by Nic Jones


I must admit to ignorance of Matthias Schubert's work prior to hearing this disc, and the only point of reference that springs to mind is the fact that he's in the band on Graham Collier's Hoarded Dreams, recorded in 1983 and recently put out on Cuneiform. Ignorance can often be lifted by revelation, and that's certainly ...

Matthias Schubert Quartet: Trappola

Read "Trappola" reviewed by Troy Collins


In the heady climate of the 1970s loft jazz era, the fertile aesthetic common ground shared by Dixieland and free jazz was well documented by such notable innovators as Henry Threadgill, Anthony Braxton, Muhal Richard Abrams and the Art Ensemble of Chicago. German tenor saxophonist Matthias Schubert continues this exploration on Trappola. Schubert and the other ...

Kaufmann / Moore / Van der Schyff: Kamosc

Read "Kamosc" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Kamosc is the first recording by Achim Kaufmann, Michael Moore and Dylan van der Schyff, three improvisers who are known to let their imaginations rove in their music. However, the name of the band is a more formal invention: they've taken the first two letters of their last names and strung them together. This ...

Kaufmann / Moore / Van der Schyff: Kamosc

Read "Kamosc" reviewed by Troy Collins


Blurring the boundary lines between jazz and classical music, German-born pianist Achim Kaufmann draws from a variety of styles as this improvising trio's founder and principal writer. Recorded at various locations while on tour, both in and out of the studio, Kamosc features an amalgam of European folk traditions, contemporary chamber music, primitive funk, blues and ...

Kaufmann / Moore / Van Der Schyff: Kamosc

Read "Kamosc" reviewed by Nic Jones


This is what happens when three musicians simultaneously come to terms with both their musical identities as individuals and a programme of composed music that is open to all sorts of individual (improvised) expression. This trio embodies a tight but loose ideal on Kamosc which is conducive to effective music-making, and from the listener's point of ...
