Jason Adasiewicz's Rolldown: Varmint
by Mark Corroto
Jason Adasiewicz's quintet Rolldown, has been together since 2004, and Varmint, its second release, again invites you into Mr. Peabody's “wayback machine" (from The Rocky And Bullwinkle Show of the 1960s) to explore ancient history with a modern ear. That ancient history is the 1960's New Thing, and our explorers are armed with the knowledge of ...
John Funkhouser, Angelica Sanchez, David Arner: 3 x Piano 3
by Mark Corroto
It's unclear why anyone would desire the end result, but as the saying goes, “there are many ways to skin a cat." Setting aside the vivisection angle for a moment, there are countless approaches to the classic jazz piano trio. Ever since ragtime, boogie-woogie and stride pianists caught the attention of popular music listeners, jazz pianists ...
Bill Dixon Paintings, Lithographs and Drawings Now Featured at AAJ Gallery
Trumpeter-composer Bill Dixon (b. October 5, 1925) might, over the past year or so, be getting much-deserved notoriety in the music press for his orchestral suites (Seventeen Musicians in Search of a Sound; Tapestries for Small Orchestra) and collaboration with Rob Mazurek and the Exploding Star Orchestra. However, his visual art--while adorning the covers of numerous ...

Jason Adasiewicz's Rolldown: Varmint
by Troy Collins
Varmint is the sophomore follow up to Rolldown (482 Music, 2008), the self-titled debut of vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz's quintet. Inspired by the avant-garde innovations of such late 1960s Blue Note recording artists as Eric Dolphy, Andrew Hill, Bobby Hutcherson, Jackie McLean, and Grachan Moncur III, Adasiewicz continues to explore the tenuous divide between inside and outside ...
Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day
by Troy Collins
A consummate example of the traveling musician, Canadian-born composer/percussionist Harris Eisenstadt's journeys have taken him from a long-term residency on the West Coast (with frequent trips to Chicago) to multiple trips abroad to study drumming in West Africa before relocating to New York. The majority of Eisenstadt's releases have been documents of singular projects; ad-hoc ensembles ...
Rob Mazurek: Sound Is
by AAJ Italy Staff
C'è molto di quella che è stata fino a oggi la carriera di Mazurek in questo eccellente disco, registrato assieme ad alcuni suoi vecchi compagni di viaggio attraverso l'underground di Chicago e di San Paolo del Brasile. In effetti, il cornettista quarantaquattrenne riunisce in queste quattordici tracce uno sviluppo di suoni ipnotici che si susseguono nella ...
