Rob Brown: Crown Trunk Root Funk
by Lyn Horton
The function of liner notes is to bring the listener closer to the music. They need not be very broad in scope. Some of the most straightforward liner notes are often the most useful. For they do not impose layers of unnecessary skin to peel away in order to reach their point. After all, the music ...

by Troy Collins

Rob Brown Trio: Sounds
by Mark Corroto
The title, Sounds, might oversimplify the concept for Rob Brown's latest trio. Or maybe it allows for the multiple possibilities. You see it is not just jazz sounds that are made here, nor is it only modern or avant-garde music. Brown is stretching the elastic of music-making, just like Ornette Coleman and Albert Ayler once did. ...
Rob Brown: Sounds
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ne è passata di acqua sotto i ponti da quando Rob Brown era soltanto quel funambolico sassofonista bianco al fianco di William Parker. Il ragazzo si è fatto le ossa, ha sviluppato un linguaggio al contralto del tutto personale ed è riuscito ad affrancarsi dall’ingombrante tutela del carismatico contrabbassista. Whit Dickey, Joe Morris, Rashied Ali, Cecil ...
Rob Brown Trio: Sounds
by Troy Collins
Alto saxophonist Rob Brown has been a fixture on New York's avant-garde scene for over two decades. Working closely with Matthew Shipp, William Parker, Joe Morris and Whit Dickey, Brown has appeared on over fifty albums, and more than a dozen as a leader or co-leader.

Rob Brown Trio: Sounds
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Sounds is as much a mission statement as a name for the debut CD by the Rob Brown Trio. Matching his alto saxophone with Daniel Levin's cello and Satoshi Takeishi's Japanese Taiko percussion, Brown frees himself from the expectations of the standard sax-plus-rhythm trio. The textural range of the instrumentation, particularly the exotic percussion and the ...

The Diplomats: We Are Not Obstinate Islands
by AAJ Italy Staff
La Clean Feed, coraggiosa casa discografica portoghese, continua con coerenza a presentare delle incisioni di free che testimoniano la vitalità del genere e come esso continui a evolversi all'interno di quelle che ormai sono diventate regole grammaticali e di sintassi di una musica per definizione libera. Il trombonista Steve Swell ha già praticato la formula del ...
