The Microscopic Septet in Baltimore August 31 at An die Musik Live (Baltimore)
The Microscopic Septet proves yet again that it's more powerful than a hurricane when it performs August 31 at An die Musik Live in Baltimore, MD, bouncing back from a storm that scratched its weekend engagement at the venue. The concert, which will begin at 7:30 PM, will feature music from the band's critically accaimed CD, ...
The Microscopic Septet: Friday the Thirteenth
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ormai da una ventina d'anni il repertorio standard del jazz ha acquisito la musica di Monk come fosse una cosa naturale. Non solo le prevedibili “'Round Midnight" o “Well You Needn't," rilanciate da Miles Davis negli anni '50 e diventate in qualche modo canoniche; ma soprattutto i brani più personali, irriducibili, ellittici, quelli che solo Coltrane ...
Microscopic Septet: Chance Meeting with the Future
by Gordon Marshall
The Microscopic Septet is all about swing, but swing in a sense extrapolated from the stale, dated pages of the past. Its take on the music of the '30s and '40s is too scholarly to fall off the map as retro, and too deeply felt to be dismissed as a dusty trove of museum pieces. The ...
The Microscopic Septet: Friday the Thirteenth - The Micros Play Monk
by Glenn Astarita
One of New York City's favorites, The Microscopic Sextet's 30-year run has seen a dormant period, but has been revitalized via its affiliation with Cuneiform Records. With its fourth release for the label, Thelonious Monk's influence and eternal spirit yields a wittily entertaining facelift via the septet's customary off-center expansions on bop and swing, to complement ...

The Microscopic Septet: Lobster Leaps In
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'ironia è sempre l'arma preferita di Phillip Johnston e dei suoi degni compari che lo affiancano da molti anni nell'avventura imperturbabile del Microscopic Septet. La storia del gruppo è piuttosto nota: dal 1980 al 1992 sono stati una delle band più amate dalla critica newyorkese, senza tuttavia mai riuscire a sfondare veramente. A quel punto hanno ...
The Microscopic Septet: Lobster Leaps In
by Troy Collins
"New York's Most Famous Unknown Band" is back after years of inactivity, with a new album every bit as rollicking and ebullient as those made in its prime. Although the band's genesis can be traced back to 1980, the Microscopic Septet was poised for the big time in the early nineties, but their big break never ...
