Roswell Rudd/Toumani Diabate: MALIcool

by John Kelman
July 14, 2004

Most closely associated with free jazz and the avant-garde, trombonist Roswell Rudd is, in fact, a highly diverse player who has worked in Dixieland, not to mention the less- glamorous but equally necessary-to-survive confines of hotel resort bands. Thankfully, in the past few years his visibility has been raised once again with projects including the eclectic ...

A Fireside Chat with Roswell Rudd

by AAJ Staff
February 21, 2004

I once saw Roswell Rudd play a show with Steve Lacy where he rapped about soap. At the time, in the confusion, I was unable to fully appreciate what it was he was doing. I thought it was avant, but now (with maturity and the grace of wisdom in age) I have come to realize that ...

The Artist Formerly Known as Avant-Garde!

December 20, 2003

This article was submitted on behalf of Roswell Rudd. Back in the 1960's, avant-garde was one of the terms used to categorize the new music. Because I was coming from Dixieland Jazz into this new music, the term struck me as strange and a little inappropriate. My understanding in those days was that the term was ...

West African Manden music is no stranger to Western ears, and much has been made of its close similarity to American blues. On Malicool, Roswell Rudd transports his singular trombone to West Africa for an adventurous session with Malian kora player Toumani Diabate, who is among the world’s best on the instrument. The kora is a ...

Roswell Rudd / Archie Shepp: Live in New York

Read "Live in New York" reviewed by John Stevenson

by John Stevenson
July 1, 2001

The year was 1994. The venue: the Eilat Red Sea Jazz Festival. Hundreds of sweltering Jazz aficionados waited in a huge converted cargo shed to witness reedman Archie Shepp and his quartet--a marquee coup for the Israeli festival. When Shepp swaggered onto the stage, the more discerning members of the audience (including this reviewer) could scarcely ...

Roswell Rudd: Broad Strokes

Read "Broad Strokes" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff
August 1, 2000

Ballad records are always a risky proposition. It takes a certain degree of finesse to pull off an hour of slow-tempo, melodic pieces without sending the listener into boredom. On Broad Strokes, trombonist Roswell Rudd takes the plunge, with mixed results. Rudd spent the '60s playing with free jazz luminaries like Cecil Taylor, Albert Ayler, and ...
