Miles Davis: Freedom Jazz Dance: The Bootleg Series Vol. 5

Read "Freedom Jazz Dance: The Bootleg Series Vol. 5" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

If ever a band of Miles Davis' deserved the high-intensity inspection/dissection represented by The Bootleg Series Vol. 5, it is his second great quintet. With that man with the horn as the great catalyst, the rapport between pianist Herbie Hancock, saxophonist/composer Wayne Shorter, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams is virtually unparalleled in the history ...

Blameful Isles: Strange But Not Entirely Unattractive

Read "Strange But Not Entirely Unattractive" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

Essentially a one-man-band based in Sweden, Blameful Isles is one of many artists who are actively rediscovering and re-processing the sounds of the early jazz-rock movement of the 1970s. Overall, the ongoing re-vitalization of jazz-rock and fusion has been a really good thing. For audiences of a certain age, the mere sound of a real Fender ...

Columbia Years 1968-1969

Read "Columbia Years 1968-1969" reviewed by Maurizio Comandini

by Maurizio Comandini

La piccola ma intraprendente casa discografica statunitense, Light in the Attic, in collaborazione con la major Sony/Columbia, piazza un uppercut formidabile che toglie il velo ad uno dei misteri meglio preservati della discografia del secolo scorso. Vengono infatti pubblicati per la prima volta i cinque brani che Betty Davis, nata Betty Mabry e sposata con Miles ...

Naomi Moon Siegel: Shoebox View

Read "Shoebox View" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Trombonist Naomi Moon Siegel represents the new breed of jazz artists, the ones who have to make it all happen themselves. In lieu of an established record label, the words “Self Produced" say it all. And while the ability and relative affordability of putting out a CD that is self funded--or fan direct funded--certainly eliminates a ...

Makaya McCraven: In The Moment

Read "In The Moment" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Somewhere in heaven Miles smiles, Miles Davis that is. Beside him, listening to In The Moment by drummer, mixmaster, and organizer Makaya McCraven is Teo Macero.  Both men would have given the nod to this project that culled 73 minutes of music from 48 hours of live performance, recorded over a year of performance with an ...

Miles Davis

Read "Miles Davis" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

Trumpeter Miles Davis (1926-1991) is perhaps the most influential figure in the history of jazz. He regularly reinvented his sound, changing styles abruptly and pulling the rest of the jazz community along with him. Davis moved from East St. Louis to New York City in 1944, ostensibly to attend Juilliard. But he soon lost ...

Makaya McCraven: In the Moment

Read "In the Moment" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard

by Jakob Baekgaard

One venue, 28 shows and 48 hours of live, improvised music. These are the ingredients for Chicago-based drummer Makaya McCraven's album In the Moment. However, McCraven, as the producer he also is, has not just thrown some random sounds together. Instead, he has carefully culled, cut and remixed the music into a coherent whole and 19 ...

Steve Cardenas: Melody in a Dream

Read "Melody in a Dream" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Steve Cardenas è un chitarrista meno considerato di quello che dovrebbe, nonostante il talento indiscutibile e la considerazione che gode tra i colleghi: è stato a lungo membro dell'Electric Bebop Band di Paul Motian, della Liberation Music Orchestra di Charlie Haden e collabora stabilmente con i gruppi di Joey Baron, Ben Allison e Steve Swallow.
