Dave Liebman / Michael Stephans: Nomads
by John Kelman
If ever there was a title to best fit Dave Liebman, it would be Nomads. Stylistically, the reedman's life has represented an endless traverse of infinite musical landscapes, ranging from freely improvised music with Australia-based pianist Mike Nock on Duologue (Birdland, 2007), and modern, open-ended mainstream with longtime musical partner, pianist Richie Beirach--heard most recently on ...

Jean-Nicholas Trottier: Quartet
by Raul d'Gama Rose
If anyone has learned Roswell Rudd's remarkable lesson in the infinitely mammalian voice simulations possible on the trombone, it's Jean-Nicholas Trottier. Quartet, Trottier's small ensemble record--earlier in 2009 he released his first, big band record--features the trombonist in almost splendid isolation, with only saxophonist Alexandre Côtè in play. Along with bassist Sébastien Pellerin and drummer Michel ...

Josh Berman / Aram Shelton / Weasel Walter: Last Distractions
by Mark Corroto
Last Distractions is a highly ambitious project, undertaken with just two horns and a drummer--three horns, actually, as reedist Aram Shelton plays two different ones. This trio of Shelton, cornetist Josh Berman and drummer Weasel Walter has set its sights on a determined and inspiring set of improvised music. The Chicago jazz scene is the inspiration ...

James Falzone / Klang: Tea Music
by Mark Corroto
The much-admired 1950s work of clarinetist Jimmy Giuffre is the inspiration for James Falzone's quartet, known as Klang. But like most things emanating from the insular world of Chicago jazz, the signature is never forged. Falzone, a clarinetist, has explored many musical forms, from classical and chamber music to French folk and jazz. He ...

Bob Florence Limited Edition / Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band / Dana Legg Stage Band / John Burnett Swing Orchestra
by Jack Bowers
Bob Florence Limited Edition Legendary MAMA 2009 “Legendary" is a word that is often misused and shamelessly over-used, and in this case entirely appropriate. Even though composer / arranger / pianist Bob Florence is no longer with us, and wasn't in the studio when his Limited Edition recorded ...
Sam Newsome: To Play or Not to Play the Soprano
by Sam Newsome
When I think about the radical move I made 14 years ago, switching from the tenor to the soprano saxophone, I sometimes ask myself: “What in the hell were you thinking?" Even though in hindsight I look back on my decision with amazement and disbelief, I'm happy to say that it's one I've never regretted. Becoming ...
