Denny Zeitlin: Precipice: Solo Piano Concert
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The singular mission of Denny Zeitlin continues with Precipice, the recorded document of a concert in January, 2008 at Ralston Hall, Santa Barbara, California. The experience is at once predictably exquisite as it creates a state of a type of suspended animation, floating with utter weightless abandon, as composer and pianist, Zeitlin flies over the edge ...
Fred Anderson: 1929-2010
by Kurt Gottschalk
There aren't many artists with so singular a vision as that of late Fred Anderson, who died June 24 at the age of 81. There are fewer to be certain if the list is restricted to members of that exalted and nebulous class called “masters." It's a word that, in jazz, gets thrown around a little ...
Domenic Landolf: New Brighton
by Dan McClenaghan
The trio ensemble of reed instrument with a spare backing of just drums and bass was pioneered by Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins. Ornette on alto sax, of course, with the occasional trumpet or violin, and Coltrane on tenor and soprano, Rollins on his always brawny tenor saxophone. It was groundbreaking stuff in the ...

North Sea Jazz 2010 Leads Tour de Jazz
The widely renown port of Rotterdam promises to provide even more metropolitan vibrancy than usual from July 9th through the 11th, as the 35th edition of the North Sea Jazz juggernaut raises the standard of musical entertainment once again. In terms of big bang for the show time buck and relative ease of multiple-venue accessibility, when ...
George Brooks: Spirit And Spice
by Dan Bilawsky
Fusing Indian classical music and jazz has met with mixed results over the years. For a long time, it seemed that a combination of these disparate styles could only result in overly aggressive fusion music; hints of India or standard jazz fare, with tabla drumming thrown into the mix. Over time, a more organic musical merge ...
David S. Ware: Gravitation
by Martin Longley
It wasn't the kidney transplant that brought saxophonist David S. Ware very close to wheelchair confinement. Last September (2009), there were early signs of organ rejection, so he was placed on a course of steroids. These came with side effects that were more debilitating than last year's operation itself. Since then, Ware has been in a ...
Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra: Vitoria Suite
by Chris May
Does anyone over there realise how good they are? That's to paraphrase what tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins asked about British pianist Stan Tracey, who led the house band at Ronnie Scott's club in London during the 1960s. “Does anyone here realise how good he is?" was Rollins' actual question (and decades later, the endorsement is still ...
