Myra Melford: Alive In The House Of Saints Part 1
by Vincenzo Roggero
All'inizio degli anni novanta Myra Melford, Lindsey Horner e Reggie Nicholson piombarono sul mondo del jazz con un piano trio che miscelava come pochi tradizione e modernità, blues e avanguardia, gospel e sofisticata scrittura. Ciò era percepibile già in Jump (1990) e Now & Now (1992) i primi due album in studio per Enemy, ma è ...
Myra Melford Trio: Alive In The House Of Saints Part 1
by John Sharpe
Back in 1993, pianist Myra Melford announced herself on the international stage with Alive In The House Of Saints and it still constitutes exhilarating listening. It was the third and, as it happened, last album by her trio completed by bassist Lindsey Horner and drummer Reggie Nicholson, following a brace of recordings on the Enemy imprint ...

When that happens, opinions and emotions abound. Reactions vary from disgust to excitement and enthusiasm, and it is ...
John Sharpe's Best Releases of 2013

Here are twelve new releases which stood out from those I heard this year, in no special order. Mostly Other People Do The Killing Slippery Rock (Hot Cup Records) Leader and bassist Moppa Elliott's songwriting talents haven't deserted him: his charts, named after small Pennsylvania towns, are bursting at ...
Ensemble musikFabrik, Etienne Charles, Pulverize The Sound & Ahmed Abdullah's Diaspora
by Martin Longley
Ensemble musikFabrik Avery Fisher Hall July 20, 2013 Karlheinz Stockhausen and Sun Ra must surely vie for the stellar position of most cosmically attuned composer within the bounds of the omniverse. Stockhausen's Licht is arguably his major work, at least in terms of sheer scale. It's a seven-day-long operatic ...
Thomas Borgmann / Wilber Morris / Reggie Nicholson: Nasty & Sweet
by John Sharpe
From the first few notes, it's apparent that something special is happening on Nasty & Sweet. Perhaps it's the way bassist Wilber Morris and drummer Reggie Nicholson sound so assured in their placement of the merest splashes of color. Completely unafraid to take their time, creating a powerful tension which isn't released even when German reedman ...
