RelativE ResonancE: RelativE ResonancE
by Dave Wayne
The music of drummer and composer Devin Gray traverses terrains that will be familiar to those who've investigated artists such as Tyshawn Sorey and Steve Lehman. As complex and highly structured as Gray's music can be, there's a palpable human warmth throughout Relative Resonance which makes the music--in spite of its ultra-busy, highly demanding nature--kind of ...

Satoko Fujii Orchestra Berlin: Ichigo Ichie
by Mark Corroto
I'm going to propose a computer “app" called Big Band World Domination. With this software players would be able to go forward and backward in time to have big bands compete against each other. Spin back to the territory bands of the 1920s, 30s, all the way to the 1960s, and then up to today. We ...

Chris Lightcap's Bigmouth: Epicenter
by Luca Canini
Ha ancora senso parlare di mainstream? Esiste un jazz che guarda al futuro riuscendo allo stesso tempo ad essere immediatamente riconoscibile e masticabile anche da chi di jazz poco, o niente, ne capisce? Domande oziose soltanto all'apparenza. Che nel loro studiato candore squarciano il velo di una dicotomia che a uno sguardo distratto può apparire insanabile: ...
Chris Lightcap's Bigmouth: Epicenter
by Dave Wayne
Conceived as a continuous seven-part extended work for his band, Bigmouth, the first seven tracks on Chris Lightcap's Epicenter are as remarkable for their diversity as they are for the ways in which they're tied together. The unifying theme here is “New York: Lost and Found," and the music could indeed work as a sort of ...
Chris Lightcap's Bigmouth: Epicenter
by Budd Kopman
The closing track of bassist Chris Lightcap's muscular and vibrant Epicenter is a very intense and almost brutal version of Lou Reed's “All Tomorrow's Parties" from the 1967 release Velvet Underground & Nico. This tune, which is among Reed's most highly crafted works and which captures the essence of both the times and its subculture, is ...
Mark Helias Open Loose: The Signal Maker
by John Sharpe
Bassist Mark Helias runs a tight ship. Not in the sense of tricksy arrangements or impossible time signatures. It's more the laser sharp focus his accomplished Open Loose combo brings to the job in hand. And that job is breathing bustling and unpredictable life into the baker's dozen selections that constitute The Signal Maker, the unit's ...
Chris Lightcap's Bigmouth: Epicenter
by Mark F. Turner
"Nine South" from New York bassist Chris Lightcap's Epicenter ignites the rhythm sense with its undeniable influence from West African music. Written as part of a commissioned work granted by Chamber Music America New Jazz Works, the piece was inspired by Lightcap's routine drive into Manhattan. Propelled by contagious hooks, fiery solos, and powerful harmonies, the ...
