David Binney: Underground Tremors
by Ian Patterson
There are recordings that constitute a personal high watermark for a composer; then there are, less frequently, recordings that mark an era. Graylen Epicenter (2011), alto saxophonist David Binney's latest recording on his own label, Mythology Records, is both. For more than two decades, this exhilarating alto saxophonist has made a string of absorbing recordings as ...

Donny McCaslin: Perpetual Motion
by Dan McClenaghan
Saxophonist Donny McCaslin can be called, quite accurately, a fearless player, whether it's for his prodigious and always adventurous work as a sideman--very notably with trumpeter Dave Douglas' quintet and with Maria Schneider's award-winning orchestra (for which he garnered a Grammy nomination), or on his own discs as a leader.McCaslin's musical spirit is a ...

McCaslin ...
Donny McCaslin: Perpetual Motion
by Warren Allen
Donny McCaslin has long been one of the under-sung superstars of the modern tenor saxophone. In recent years, however, as both a leader and sideman with big band leader Maria Schneider, the Mingus Dynasty band, and trumpeter Dave Douglas, McCaslin has gained more and more well-deserved recognition. Drawing off the best of the 21st century's jazz, ...

by Daniel Lehner
There's an old conundrum about a man with an axe. He broke the head chopping at a particularly stubborn branch and replaced it. Months later, he broke the handle and replaced that. The question goes: Does he have the same axe? It's a philosophical question that deals with how parts interrelate with a whole. Now imagine ...
Undead Jazz Festival: Kenny's Castaways Edition
by Daniel Lehner
Every zombie film fan knows that being bitten by a creature of the night is a fate worse than death. The only cure is to have a member of your party load up a shotgun and take you out before you turn into a limping, brain-hungry shell of a person. So giving an event a header ...

Rudder:Matorning
By: Trevor Pour In the time since I reviewed Rudder's debut self-titled record last year (see review here), it has transformed into an absolute staple of my sonic diet. Its ambiguous genre label prevented me from accurately describing the music to my houseguests, but it never failed to impress even the most cynical listeneres. Rudder's latest ...
