Mal Waldron / Steve Lacy: The Mighty Warriors

Read "The Mighty Warriors" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

by Karl Ackermann

Mal Waldron and Steve Lacy first played together in 1958 at the Bowery neighborhood's Five Spot. Their association was long, if not necessarily prolific on record. Though their personal styles contrasted, they frequently existed in a parallel universe. Both expatriates lived in Paris, were predisposed to the avant-garde, and shared a deep appreciation for Thelonious Monk's ...

The Jazz Detective Strikes Again

Read "The Jazz Detective Strikes Again" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Producer Zev Feldman, like Joe DiMaggio, has done it again. In May of 1941, DiMaggio began a major league baseball hitting streak. People followed his exploits game after game and hit after hit. DiMaggio's amazing record of 56 consecutive games still stands to this day. Same can be said of Feldman. His detective work, finding rare ...

Mal Waldron - Steve Lacy: The Mighty Warriors

Read "The Mighty Warriors" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Producer/jazz detective Zev Feldman is still at it, ferreting out unreleased recordings from jazz giants of the past and releasing them with buffed-up sound quality and first-rate packaging. Long lost recordings from pianists Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk, Art Tatum and Ahmad Jamal have seen the light of the twenty-first century, thanks to Feldman, as has newly ...

Jazz & Dance: modi diversi di unire le due arti

Read "Jazz & Dance: modi diversi di unire le due arti" reviewed by Neri Pollastri

by Neri Pollastri

Sebbene gran parte del jazz nasca dalla musica da ballo e nella sua storia non manchino importanti collaborazioni di musicisti con danzatori --il primo che viene in mente è Steve Lacy --, oggi i rapporti tra questa musica e l'arte della danza non sono frequentissimi. Da un po' di tempo, tuttavia, qualcosa dalle nostre ...

Franco D'Andrea, Franco Tonani, Bruno Tommaso: Modern Art Trio

Read "Modern Art Trio" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala

by Giuseppe Segala

Fin dal 1971, anno di pubblicazione dell'unico disco che ne documenta l'attività, Modern Art Trio ha fatto parlare tanto di sé. E quel lavoro non cessa di parlare a sua volta all'ascoltatore, riattizzando da punti di vista sempre nuovi l'originaria passione. D'altra parte, è lo stesso Franco D'Andrea a sottolineare l'importanza del Modern Art Trio: “Da ...

Steve Argüelles, Francesco Bigoni, Benoit Delbecq, Francesco Diodati: Weave4

Read "Weave4" reviewed by Neri Pollastri

by Neri Pollastri

È piuttosto singolare la musica di questo Weave4 (Parco della Musica Records): aperta fino ad apparir sfrangiata, eppure con un andamento narrativo; astratta e d'ispirazione contemporanea, ma al tempo stesso con un suo palese gusto melodico; con un cuore acustico, avvolto però in un alone elettronico; dubbiosa ed esitante nelle direzioni da prendere, ma ciononostante coerente ...

Daunik Lazro, Benjamin Duboc, Mathieu Bec: Standards Combustion

Read "Standards Combustion" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

The French trio of saxophonist Daunik Lazro, bassist Benjamin Duboc, and drummer Mathieu Bec has released a collection of music with the fitting title Standards Combustion. Their covers of two compositions each by John Coltrane and Albert Ayler, and one each by Steve Lacy and Wayne Shorter do not so much burn down these nuggets as ...

Jay Clayton: Looking Back (Reflections)

Read "Jay Clayton: Looking Back (Reflections)" reviewed by Katchie Cartwright

by Katchie Cartwright

Born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, Jay Clayton (October 28. 1941--December 31, 2023) summoned the courage to move to New York in 1963, finding her way into the free jazz scene at a time when singers (excluding Jeanne Lee and a few outliers) were simply not within the ranks of the jazz avant-garde. Her free jazz ...

Lilian Terry: Forever Sisters Of The Soul - Renaissance Jazzwomen

Read "Lilian Terry: Forever Sisters Of The Soul - Renaissance Jazzwomen" reviewed by Kerilie McDowall

by Kerilie McDowall

I was warmly accepted by a giant such as Duke Ellington during his last seven years. He chose to be my friend, demanding my annual presence during his concert tours in Europe as his “good luck charm," and as his sounding board for all the phrases he would dictate to me, to be used later in ...
