Debbie Poryes: A Song in Jazz
by Dan McClenaghan
The notes ring out, and then they're gone, vibrations waning away to silence. Pianist Debbie Poryes--who has taught at the Berkeley Jazzschool in Northern California since 2000; who taught in The Netherlands for the better part of the 1980s; who worked her first regular gig playing five nights a week, from five until midnight, for a ...
Field Effect: Audiovariac
by Glenn Astarita
The rather unlikely duo of jazz saxophonist Peter Gordon and studio processing/EFX wiz Matt Shire-Jones proves to be a fruitful relationship via their ongoing collaborations. The UK duo intimates the antithesis of that proverbial man vs. machine concept, here on this 2005 release. With guest artists chipping in on various tracks, the acoustic-electric component yields a ...
Tucksy: Tucksy - The EP
by Elliott Simon
Vibraphonist Dan McCarthy's Tucksy--The EP has him hooking up with a kindred spirit in the personage of banjo player Tuey Connell with extremely satisfying results. Both Connell and McCarthy are wont to take their instruments into somewhat uncharted places: McCarthy's recent Interwords (Independent, 2006) highlighted his gorgeous sonoric clarity in the context of a potpourri of ...
Lindsey Boullt: Composition
by Glenn Astarita
San Francisco area guitarist and educator Lindsey Boullt has assembled an interesting support lineup on Composition that radiates an Indo-progressive rock musical plane. Former Santana percussionist Mingo Lewis and Mahavishnu Orchestra violinist Jerry Goodman assist with the ensemble's keen enactment of world music and power-lined progressive rock.Boullt's loud, chunka-chunka chord voicings and super-speed single ...

Roy Cumming: Edgeless
by Mark F. Turner
No hype. No technological wizardry or envelope pushing persuasions. Freelance bassist Roy Cumming and his trio--pianist David Leonhardt and drummer Paul Wells)--simply use excellent playing, true jazz interaction, and a suave demeanor, to produce the enjoyable Edgeless. With a collective experience of more than sixty years in the biz they've played and/or composed ...
Brian Chahley: This Way
by Jakob Baekgaard
The idea of having a blowing session is sometimes thought of as a bit mechanical, a quick way to get something on tape without too much complication. On the other hand, blowing sessions often have a particular atmosphere about them that make them memorable. Think of such classics as Johnny Griffin's A Blowin' Session (Blue Note, ...
Frank Basile Quintet: Thursday the 12th
by Michael J. West
Even the neo-traditionalists, the neocons, have evolved their idiom in the past twenty-five years; that's what makes Thursday the 12th--Frank Basile's debut album--so baffling. Nothing about it, from the arrangements, to the phrasing, to Basile's haircut on the cover, even suggests that it was recorded after about 1961. That's not to say it's bad--in fact it's ...
Masha Campagne: Cahminhos Cruzados = Crossroads
by Michael P. Gladstone
To Masha Campagne, singer of Brazilian music, English as a second language was likely a necessity. However it was not Portuguese, but Russian, that was her native tongue. This new album gives a very good indication of how fluid her Portuguese is as she navigates the very tricky lyrics of Dorival Caymmi's Doralice," originally sung by ...
Jerome Harris: Rendezvous
by Mike Neely
With top notch soloists, a savvy rhythm section, and compelling compositions, what's not to like about Jerome Harris' Rendezvous? Incidentally, with the same instrumentation as Dave Holland's quintet, and the very same Steve Nelson on vibes, one has to wonder what band came first. In addition to Nelson, Rendezvous boasts Marty Ehrlich on alto sax and ...
