Vicious World: Vicious World Plays The Music of Rufus Wainwright
by Dave Wayne
Rufus Wainwright is one of those musicians whose work straddles several different musical genres--pop, rock, Broadway, and folk music all figure prominently into his oeuvre. While not a jazz artist by any stretch, Wainwright's music is certainly sophisticated and multilayered enough to withstand instrumental reinvention by modern jazz artists. Even without vocals, Wainwright's artistry literally thrives ...

Vicious World: Plays the Music of Rufus Wainwright
by Andrew J. Sammut
Vicious World might have a field day on its tribute to the music of Rufus Wainwright, except the tunes are rarely that lighthearted. Let's just say the septet is moved to musical tears by the singer/songwriter's earnest melodies and bittersweet harmonies. Even that's putting it mildly. Anxious strings introduce Aaron Irwin's alto sax ...
Into the Fire: Winter Jazzfest 2010

Winter Jazzfest New York, New York January 8-9, 2010 Fast-forward 30 years from the days in the late 1970s and early '80s when the world-weary wisdom that jazz wasn't a living force anymore was whispered to us--maybe you are getting out of jail, maybe waking from a cryogenic sleep. Before this happened, ...
Live Big Bands From New York: Charles Tolliver, Darcy James Argue & Charli Persip
by Martin Longley
The Charles Tolliver Big BandIridiumOctober 18, 2009 Trumpeter Charles Tolliver likes to keep his big band well-drilled. His arrangements are concerned with a cutting, eagle-swoop precision, built up from portable clusters that can be detonated at any time. He enjoys settling into a sleek groove, but will suddenly find the urge ...
Darcy James Argue's Secret Society: Infernal Machines
by Troy Collins
The reverb-drenched cajon rhythm, subtle electric guitar washes and lush horn refrains that open Infernal Machines, the studio debut of Darcy James Argue's Secret Society, introduce the sound of a big band like no other--proving that the critical acclaim lavished upon this eighteen-piece ensemble since their first gig in 2005 has been entirely justified. ...

Sebastian Noelle: Across The River
by Budd Kopman
Sebastian Noelle could easily be called an anti-guitarist. The way he approaches the instrument when he solos, combined with the nature of the music he composes, continuously thwarts expectations. He does this not in the manner of Derek Bailey, who almost destroyed the guitar as a reference point. But within the realm of jazz musicians who ...
Sebastian Noelle: Across the River
by Brian P. Lonergan
Warm, relaxed yet energetic original compositions dominate guitarist Sebastian Noelle's inviting album Across the River. Much of that warmth and relaxation comes from Noelle's fuzzy, rich harmonies and melodies that ring out with slight reverb and distortion. Much of the energy comes from some of the most exciting players on the New York scene today: Ari ...
