Bruce Ackley / Fred Frith / Henry Kaiser / Aram Shelton: Unexpected Twins
by John Sharpe
Sometimes looking back can be a cause of regret, but it can sometimes inspire. Happily the latter is the case with Unexpected Twins by the doubled instrumentation of guitarists Henry Kaiser and Fred Frith and saxophonists Bruce Ackley and Aram Shelton. The original Twins emerged from the early free improvisation scene in North America in 1977, ...
Steve Baczkowski: Old Smoke
by John Sharpe
Reedman Steve Baczkowski would surely be better known had he not remained in Buffalo, NY, where he grew up and studied, as he possesses a fearsome sound. In his guise as Music Director of Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center in his hometown, he's undoubtedly familiar with the German saxophone titan Peter Brötzmann, who is clearly an inspiration. ...
Tomeka Reid - Filippo Monico: The Mouser
by John Sharpe
Cellist Tomeka Reid reveals another aspect of her artistry on The Mouser, on five unfettered excursions in the company of Italian percussionist Filippo Monico. Rather than the supple propulsion and poised angularity of her eponymous quartet (Thirsty Ear, 2015) or the AACM repertoire of Artifacts (482 Music, 2015), Reid concentrates on exploring the full resources of ...
James Brandon Lewis: An Unruly Manifesto
by John Sharpe
An UnRuly Manifesto feels like the album tenor saxophonist James Brandon Lewis has been working towards since his relocation to New York in 2012. His quintet's standout set at the 2019 Vision Festival was based around this program, no surprise given that this is such a formidable disc. Lewis retains the services of bassist Luke Stewart ...
Paul Flaherty: Focused and Bewildered
by Troy Dostert
Saxophonist Paul Flaherty has long been one of the foremost exponents of the fire-breathing, free-jazz tradition of Albert Ayler, Peter Brötzmann and Charles Gayle. He is certainly one of the most prolific, with scores of recordings under his belt. When he joins forces with frequent collaborators such as Chris Corsano, Wally Shoup or Bill Nace, the ...
Steve Baczkowski / Brandon Lopez / Chris Corsano: Old Smoke
by Troy Dostert
The image on the cover says it all, a blast furnace exploding with elemental energy and heat. And it doesn't take long for the music on Old Smoke, a live release that represents the first recorded collaboration between saxophonist Steve Baczkowski, bassist Brandon Lopez and drummer Chris Corsano, to reach astonishing peaks of fiery intensity. This ...
Kirk Knuffke, Ben Goldberg: Uncompahgre
by Alberto Bazzurro
Kirk Knuffke, cornettista poco meno che quarantenne, e Ben Goldberg, clarinettista invece ormai prossimo ai sessanta, entrambi nativi di Denver ed entrambi con un palmares di collaborazioni del tutto ragguardevole, formano il duo che firma questo interessante album, inciso nel 2014 ma uscito solo nei mesi scorsi. La firma congiunta apposta a tutti ...
James Brandon Lewis: An Unruly Manifesto
by Phillip Woolever
James Brandon Lewis has been climbing the current jazz pantheon for a good while now. This deserving project should elevate the 36-year old tenor saxophonist from Buffalo even higher in the ranks. Backed by the usual collaborators in his touring trio (drummer Warren Trae Crudup III, bassist Luke Stewart) and a pair of familiar ...
