Andrew Cyrille & Bill McHenry: Proximity
by Glenn Astarita
The story behind this duo setting by legendary drummer Andrew Cyrille and venerable tenor saxophonist Bill McHenry was initiated by Max Koslow who routinely attends New York City's fabled Village Vanguard venue on Thursday evenings. After hearing the twosome perform, he proposed they record a set in the studio for his nascent Brain Schism Productions. Indeed, ...

Denny Zeitlin: Early Wayne: Explorations of Classic Wayne Shorter Compositions
by Budd Kopman
Early Wayne has many things going for it: it is a well recorded, live concert; pianist Denny Zeitlin, who has been recording for over fifty years, is masterful to the point of completely taking over the listening space, and, last but not least, the material used as the base for his improvisation is a set of ...

Chris Cheek: Saturday Songs
by Jakob Baekgaard
The idea that jazz has to renew itself sometimes results in rather pretentious and purely intellectual experiments with form, but it is possible to play inventive and intellectually stimulating music without losing a sense of fun and inclusive curiosity. Saxophonist Chris Cheek is the proof. Cheek comes with a refreshingly unprejudiced approach to ...
Logan Strosahl: Up Go We
by Budd Kopman
Duke Ellington famously said, There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind".

It is quite possible for the adventurous listener to play a different album every day for a decade and never hear a ...
Kevin Hays New Day Trio: North
by Dan Bilawsky
The second album from the Kevin Hays New Day Trio does and doesn't follow in its predecessor's footsteps. On one hand you can argue that it's completely different, as Hays doesn't sing on this one and there are no guests to speak of here; on the other, you can certainly opine that the overt lyricism in ...
