The MacroQuarktet: Each Part a Whole: Live at the Stone
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Pushing the boundaries of spontaneous expression, one of trumpeter Herb Robertson's latest projects is the MacroQuarktet with fellow trumpeter Dave Ballou and the formidable rhythm tandem of bassist Drew Gress and drummer Tom Rainey. Eschewing a blitzkrieg approach, the three improvisations on Each Part a Whole exude deliberative patience with ideas tested and developed into longer ...
Guy Klucevsek: Dancing on the Volcano
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
With good reason, Guy Klucevsek is considered one of the preeminent accordionists in new music. Firmly grounded in tradition, he can play all the styles associated with the instrument with a dizzying facility: fleet melodic runs, droning harmonic accompaniment and solid rhythmic support. No mere technician, Klucevsek's also a dynamic improviser--a quick-witted, deep listener, able to ...
White Rocket: White Rocket
by Sean Patrick Fitzell

With atypical instrumentation, the musicians ...

Herb Robertson: Abandon in the Moment
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Amid a whorl of scraped cello, tenor sax squawks, and bass clarinet blats, trumpeter Herb Robertson paused, his eyes closed in concentration. With NSA-like hearing ability, he pierced the action with a bracing note that crystallized the unfurling improvisation. The intent listening and bold responses displayed during saxophonist Lotte Anker's January show at The Stone typify ...

Butcher / Muller / van der Schyff: Way Out Northwest
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
British saxophonist John Butcher is a longtime practitioner of spontaneous performances, game for playing with unfamiliar musicians in concert. For the 2007 Vancouver Jazz Festival, he took the stage with local musicians that shared his sensibilities: adventurous bassist Torsten Muller and increasingly ubiquitous drummer Dylan van der Schyff. Way Out Northwest documents the trio's initial outing, ...
