Elliot Mason & Cre8tion: Before, Now & After

Read "Before, Now & After" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

Jazz has no shortage of albums dealing with the past-present-future continuum--quite the opposite, in fact--but few carry as personal a tone as trombonist Elliot Mason's debut leader date. While speaking to broad concepts in dealing with the music's history and the notion of time taking form as one giant through line, Mason also inserts family ties ...

Greg Cordez: Last Things Last

Read "Last Things Last" reviewed by Roger Farbey

by Roger Farbey

"Chekov's Gun" opens this recording with a laid-back yet electrifying atmosphere hinting vaguely of a Soft Machine influence. “Cherry V Des Moines" has a rock-based feel but the overlaid horn ensemble sections imbue it with a jazz-inflected impetus as does Michael Blake's sinewy tenor solo. “Figlock" is dominated by Steve Cardenas's chiming electric guitar work and ...

Kate McGarry/Keith Ganz/Gary Versace: The Subject Tonight Is Love

Read "The Subject Tonight Is Love" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

The ancient Greeks spoke of love's many forms, codifying and distilling the essence of every one in detailed thought and language. Each of those documented variants rightly differs from the others, yet the keen mind can certainly discern that all of them basically stem from the same roots: connectivity and understanding. In something of a musical ...

Alicia Hall Moran: Here Today

Read "Here Today" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Le sintesi tra canto operistico e universo musicale afroamericano sono state sporadiche. In generale la relazione tra i due mondi è apparsa difficilmente compatibile per la forte diversità tra le due estetiche: mi sembra che l'esempio più riuscito di conciliazione resti l'opera Porgy and Bess . Di recente un significativo passo avanti lo sta compiendo il ...

OSU Jazz Orchestra: Solid Gold

Read "Solid Gold" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

Having overseen one impressive Jazz Studies program, at Northeast (OK) State University in Tahlequah, Tommy Poole has moved on to Oklahoma State University in Stillwater where he seems well on the way to repeating that success. The subtitle of Solid Gold, the first recording under Poole's direction by the OSU Jazz Orchestra, reads “featuring Michael Dease." ...

Dennis Gonzalez: Ts'iibil Chaaltun

Read "Ts'iibil Chaaltun" reviewed by Don Phipps

by Don Phipps

Dennis Gonzalez's trio, Ataraxia is comprised of trumpet (Gonzalez), bass (Drew Phelps), and percussion (Jagath Lakpriya), a mix of instruments that on the surface would alone suggest interesting music. And their double album, Ts'iibil Chaaltun, does not disappoint. There's a lot of desert in this music... large rocks that jut from the sand, dunes that stretch ...

Syrinx Effect: A Sky You Could Strike a Match On

Read "A Sky You Could Strike a Match On" reviewed by Patrick Burnette

by Patrick Burnette

Syrinx Effect is comprised of just two musicians: Naomi Siegel (trombone) and Kate Olson (soprano saxophone); they expand their sound with effect pedals and overdubbing. Eric Eagle, the producer on their new album, A Sky You Could Strike a Match On, plays percussion on several of the tracks. Syrinx Effect labels itself “interstellar folk ...

Gregory Lewis: Organ Monk Blue

Read "Organ Monk Blue" reviewed by Jerome Wilson

by Jerome Wilson

Organist Gregory Lewis gained the nickname “Organ Monk" due to his specialization in the music of Thelonious Monk. Known for his exaggerated, florid playing, this is the third CD he's done of Monk's music and this time he has teamed up with a musician who can match him flourish for flourish, chameleon guitarist Marc Ribot.

The album is a collaborative effort with bassist Andrew Reinartz and members of the JAS quintet.
