Tim Berne: The Sublime and...
by Farrell Lowe
From the opening salvo of “Van Gundy's Retreat," it's obvious that Tim Berne's Science Friction ensemble will take no prisoners during this performance, recorded live in Switzerland on April 12th, 2003. Along with his alto saxophone, Berne's group consists of electric guitar, Fender Rhodes-fueled electronics, and drums. This instrumental configuration opens up worlds of new and ...
DJ Wally: Nothing Stays The Same
by Nic Jones
Here's a thing. In gathering together a group of players who prefer to look forwards, DJ Wally has gone and made a record that actually sounds like it was made in the present day, rather than any time in the last forty odd years, and whilst there's no seismic shift of the magnitude that bebop was, ...
DJ Wally: Nothing Stays the Same
by Rex Butters
Keef Destefano began spinning records at the age of 13. Now, as DJ Wally, his sounds saturate the New York dance underground. His first headlining session, Nothing Stays the Same, becomes the latest Matthew Shipp/Thirsty Ear All-Star collaboration to gracefully wed jazz, hip hop and techno. As his nom de spin implies, DJ Wally comes fully ...
The Blue Series Continuum: Sorceror Sessions
by Jerry D'Souza
Wave the wand, play the piano, get a violin, riff the bass, filter in some programming, add a new voice through the clarinet and its lower register bass sibling, and presto! Music that bewitches in the guile of its compositions and the spirit of its players. The group rather vaguely known as the Blue ...
Tim Berne: The Sublime and...
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Tim Berne's The Sublime And... --his second album for Thirsty Ear's Blue Series--captures the raw energy and improvisational prowess of his working band, Science Friction. Bringing together the musicians from his bass-less trios (Big Satan and Hard Cell), Science Friction consists of Berne on alto saxophone, Marc Ducret on electric guitar, Tom Rainey on drums, and ...
The Blue Series Continuum: Sorcerer Sessions
by AAJ Staff
This is the second attack of Thirsty Ear's Blue Series Continuum, and quite honestly a big step beyond the Good and Evil Sessions that preceded it. Matthew Shipp jumps into the subtitle ("Featuring the Music of...") and apparently the compositional helm as well. Instead of the brass-heavy action from last time, the Sorcerer Sessions balance things ...
DJ Wally: Nothing Stays The Same
by Colin Buttimer
Thirsty Ear has consciously positioned itself at a median point between popular groove-based musics and exploratory jazz. On this release DJ Wally has at his disposal music played by some of the cream of free jazz players, including Matthew Shipp, David S. Ware and William Parker. Nothing Stays The Same is composed of a number of ...
David S. Ware: Threads
by Mark F. Turner
Change is a necessary and crucial element of both life and music. David S. Ware has always been on the edge of the creative forefront. Whether reinterpreting Sonny Rollins' classic Freedom Suite or providing electronic persuasions on Corridors & Parallels , the avant-garde/free jazz purist continues his search for music that stretches the ...
