This seems to be shaping up as the year of the “Sunrise." Two outstanding sets by that name have been released in 2012: one by the Masabumi Kikuchi Trio on ECM Records, the other a self-produced gem by the Indo/American chamber ensemble, Karavika. Israeli saxophonist Amit Friedman makes it a triptych with his own Sunrise, on ...

Masabumi Kikuchi Trio: Sunrise

by Dan McClenaghan
March 30, 2012

Pianist Masabumi Kikuchi recorded a session with the late trumpeter Miles Davis in 1978 that was never released. Had it been, the Japanese musician could perhaps have been slung by Davis' Jovian presence/influence to greater fame. As it is, Kikuchi has maintained a career as an iconoclastic artist, collaborating with some of the best jazz players. ...

Masabumi Kikuchi Trio: Sunrise

by John Kelman
March 29, 2012

March 28, 2012

What are the career choices for a classically trained musician? It's not sitting in an orchestra for violinist Trina Basu and cellist Amali Premawardhana.

Robben Ford: Sunrise

by Robert Spencer
August 1, 1999

Sunrise is aptly named, for this 1972 recording captures Robben Ford's stinging blues guitar at the dawn of his career. It contains the hallmarks of Ford's now long-familiar style: non-stop solos of brisk funk logic; clean and exquisitely formed lines; and a monster groove. There's also quite a bit of vocal work on this one: by ...

Lois Dawson: Sunrise

by Jim Santella
January 1, 1999

Deep and heartfelt, Lois Dawson’s delivery draws on the blues, Gospel, and jazz to offer ballads that contain dramatic tales of life and love. Her flexible voice, in the lower alto range, enables Dawson to remain clear and accurate while expressing with a full range of emotions. It’s difficult to guess an artist’s main influences, but ...
