One Track Mind: Walt Weiskopf, "Love for Sale" (2011)
Saxophonist Walt Weiskopf's first-ever in-concert recording Walt Weiskopf Quartet: Live, issued earlier in the month on Colorado-based Capri Records, is special in another personal way. It's dedicated to drummer Tony Reedus, who died from a pulmonary embolism less than a year after this show was recorded in April 2008 on the campus of the University of ...
Marcin Wasilewski Trio - Faithful (2011)
One of ECM's rising stars is back three years after knocking it out of the park with a sensational album the last time around. Marcin Wasilweski leads a trio from Poland and January, their second album together outside the long shadow of Polish trumpet giant Tomasz Stanko, displayed maturity and subtleties from these young performers that's ...

By Nick DeRiso Keyboardist Bobby Whitlock reflects on Derek and the Dominoes' Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, given a deluxe reissue Tuesday on its 40th anniversary, as well as signature dates alongside George Harrison, Sam and Dave and Delaney and Bonnie, among others.

Julian Lage - Gladwell (2011)
By S. Victor Aaron Don't get me wrong, I love jazz guitarists who derive their inspiration from guys like Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell and Pat Metheny, but it's so refreshing to hear a new guitarist come along who excels by taken the road less traveled. That's former child prodigy guitarist Julian Lage, who seems to be ...
Matthew Shipp - 4D (2010)
By Mark Saleski Over the years I have spent many pen scrawls, pencil swipes, and keystrokes trying to describe what it is about 'out' music that moves me so much. Sometimes it's pretty easy, especially if you take the case of somebody like saxophone terrorist Peter Brotzmann. The man plays with so much force that it's ...
Nicholas Payton - Sonic Trance (2003)
By Mark Saleski Why do people hit a musical wall at a certain point in their life? They stop listening to anything put out after their high school (or college) years. Worst of all: they just stop listening. Music is no longer a part of their life. Of course, there are a whole lot of reasons. ...
King Crimson - The Condensed 21st Century Guide (2006)
By Tom Johnson King Crimson has been a chameleon throughout its four decades of existence, not just shifting to reflect the times but also acting as a sort of quality-assurance agent, issued forth new offerings at just the right times when it seems that music might just slide into morass. What King Crimson had lacked, until ...
Steely Dan Sunday: "Only a Fool Would Say That" (1972)
This is probably my favorite deep cut from Can't Buy A Thrill, which was on the flip side of the “Reelin' In The Years" single. More than any other track from this album, “Only A Fool Would Say That" points the way to what the band would evolve into: mocking lyrics, a fondness for Caribbean styles ...
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - The Sesjun Radio Shows (2011)
Art Blakey is spoken about a lot in our little 'berg on the internet, and like most other admirers of his Jazz Messengers body of work, we tend to focus more on the late 50s-mid 60s era that included so many future jazz icons like Freddie Hubbard, Johnny Griffin, Lee Morgan, Bobby Timmons, Benny Golson, Wayne ...
DVD: Stan Kenton - Artistry in Rhythm: Portrait of a Jazz Legend (2011)
Stan Kenton would have been 100 this year and, in many ways, he's as misunderstood now as he was in his own time. A comprehensive new Jazzed Media biopic from filmmaker Graham Carter, though perhaps too lengthy at 117 minutes, goes a long way toward changing that. Kenton brought to fame a series of jazz music's ...
