Produced By Bill Laswell, Mumpbeak, Self-Titled Debut On Rarenoise Features All-Star Cast

New York - It is safe to say that you have never before heard anything quite like Mumpbeak. Throbbing with intensity and a sense of mystery and searching on each track and imbued with undeniable virtuosity, this powerhouse outing is a significant extension of the prog-rock legacy established by the likes of King Crimson, Yes, EL&P, ...

Interstatic: Interstatic

Read "Interstatic" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Di fronte ad un trio chitarra elettrica, organo Hammond e batteria non si può non pensare al Tony Williams Lifetime che, tra il 1969 e 1970, cambiò la faccia del jazz-rock. Eppure, in questo caso i punti di contatto con quella torrenziale ed imprescindibile esperienza non sono così accentuati. Semmai gli Interstatic ricordano piuttosto il trio ...

Naked Truth: Ouroboros

Read "Ouroboros" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson


With apologies to the late guitarist Pete Cosey (who led a band by the name), the members of Naked Truth are bona fide “children of Agharta." That is, the group--led by bassist-guitarist Lorenzo Feliciati--has absorbed and adapted the lessons of trumpeter Miles Davis's exhausting, tectonic live recording Agharta (Columbia, 1975) so well that Davis' disc can ...

Joel Harrison & Lorenzo Feliciati: Holy Abyss

Read "Holy Abyss" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


With his stylistic approach to jazz guitar, Joel Harrison imparts a mark of authenticity on whatever genre-busting activities he approaches. Whether tackling drummer Paul Motian's compositions with a folk-jazz, chamber slant on The Music of Paul Motian (Sunnyside, 2011), or morphing country, blues, and jazz on So Long 2nd Street (ACT, 2004), the guitarist often injects ...

Naked Truth: Shizaru

Read "Shizaru" reviewed by Lawrence Peryer

Young / Powell / Vespestad: Anthem

Read "Anthem" reviewed by John Kelman


Public perception can often be misleading. Those only familiar with Jacob Young's ECM recordings, including the sublime Evening Falls (2004), inevitably think of him as a painstakingly lyrical guitarist, informed by Jim Hall's economical forward- thinking and penchant for the sound of a warm, organic hollowbody or steely acoustic instrument. But that's only part of the ...
