Marshall Allen, Leiba Trio & Gold Mother
by Maurice Hogue
Lights On A Satellite is a fitting title for an album celebrating the 100-year-old miracle, saxophonist Marshall Allen, the mainstay of Sun Ra's legacy. His continuing direction of the Sun Ra Arkestra puts him right up there beside Planet Ra. Other new releases sampled in this episode come from a very worthy Leiba Trio from Argentina ...
Troy Dostert's Best Jazz Albums Of 2024
by Troy Dostert
Another year of first-rate creative jazz is in the books, along with another impossible set of choices in assembling a top-10 list. These are some of the standouts, in a year in which trios and quartets were especially prominent, taking advantage of the unparalleled opportunities for close collaboration that smaller ensembles provide. My favorites are listed ...
Steve Coleman and Five Elements: PolyTropos / Of Many Turns
by Troy Dostert
Perpetually churning rhythms, telepathic detours, unexpected juxtapositions: these are the stock-in-trade of Steve Coleman's Five Elements. And once again the intrepid alto saxophonist's inimitable approach surfaces on PolyTropos / Of Many Turns, a generous, two-disc helping of music that manages to be both intricately complex and fundamentally accessible at the same time. With two live dates ...

Highly original and free wheeling playing make their two releases much appreciated. Crispell and Sorgen decided to continue making magic as a duo on the new Forest, now available, and it's one of the feature ...

Steve Coleman, Berne/Formanek & Arthur Blythe
by Maurice Hogue
If you are as big a fan of Steve Coleman as I am, you will most definitely dig his latest release, Poly Tropos/Of Many Turns, which captures Steve and Five Elements tearing it up at live performances in France earlier this year. Toronto electric bassist Rich Brown contributes an amazing pulse throughout, and Coleman's on fire ...
