Russ Lossing: Metal Rat

Read "Metal Rat" reviewed by Budd Kopman


Metal Rat is a triumph from beginning to end. Along with pianist/leader Russ Lossing, violist Mat Maneri and bassist Mark Dresser have created a work of terrifying intensity and concentration of purpose that is engaging at many levels, simultaneously manifesting a steely ferocity that is nevertheless almost unbearably beautiful. The ten tracks have ...

Russ Lossing: All Things Arise

Read "All Things Arise" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson


Stuart Broomer's ponderous liner notes to Russ Lossing's latest release correctly point out that the track sequencing suggests a “side one" and “side two," as would an old vinyl album ("the LP of tradition," as Broomer says). The first side is given over to a suite of freely improvised music with echoes (probably unwitting) of various ...

Russ Lossing: Phrase 6

Read "Phrase 6" reviewed by Jeff Stockton


Fresh Sound launched its New Talent series in 1995 and has stayed true to its name by recording a stream of New York unknowns, including the debut of the Bad Plus.

Russ Lossing: As It Grows

Read "As It Grows" reviewed by Ty Cumbie


Spacious, articulate, and artfully composed, the material heard on Russ Lossing's As It Grows --apparently some of it improvised and some composed--is consistently musical and satisfyingly rangy. Although there's a persistent strain of finespun moodiness that isn't for seekers of the heavy groove, there's enough heart-stopping beauty on this disc to make you forget, momentarily, that ...

Russ Lossing - Adam Kolker - John Hebert: Change of Time

Read "Change of Time" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


The respective musicians who comprise this trio inadvertently broaden modern jazz horizons, with this lovely outing inspired by Bela Bartok’s progressive piano pieces. In addition, these gents represent some of the younger and more successful New York based artists who frequently enjoy first call session status. Nonetheless, this production resides within avant/chamber jazz stylizations primarily due ...
