Michael Attias: échos la nuit

Read "échos la nuit" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


In the early days of Rahsaan Roland Kirk's career, there were critics who viewed the blind man with three instruments hanging from his neck--two to be played simultaneously--as posturing. Then they heard him play. Forty years later, and filtered through the influence of four continents, Michaël Attias takes up the task of improvising on two different ...

Sean Conly: Hard Knocks

Read "Hard Knocks" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


This trio gives credence to the old saying that, “too many cooks spoil the broth."

This is due to the band's extreme agility coupled with a horde of alternative routes, undulating bop grooves, an uncluttered soundstage ...

Mara Rosenbloom Trio: Prairie Burn

Read "Prairie Burn" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


When thought outpaces action in music, the results are often staid and forgettable. Conversely, when thinking is suppressed in favor of ceaseless activity, the end results are often turbid, shambolic, and largely unlistenable. It's the power struggle between the two, along with the personalities controlling that struggle, that help jazz to expand, evolve, explore, and excite. ...

Yoni Kretzmer 2 Bass Quartet: Book II

Read "Book II" reviewed by John Sharpe


One of the major innovations of the 1960s New Thing was to liberate the so called rhythm section from time keeping duties.
