Tony Malaby Tamarindo: Somos Agua
by Robert Bush
Saxophonist Tony Malaby's Tamarindo, featuring the unerring bassist William Parker and explosive drummer Nasheet Waits explore the possibilities of the saxophone trio on Somos Agua with frequently staggering results--sort of like a very free version of the Sonny Rollins unit with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones that recorded A Night at the Village Vanguard some 57 ...
Jason Ajemian: A Way a Land of Life
by Vincenzo Roggero
La registrazione, risalente al dicembre del 2006 e opportunamente ripescata e pubblicata dalla sempre più interessante NoBusiness Records, riunisce attorno al bassista Jason Ajemian un terzetto di fuoriclasse della scena improvvisativa statunitense e ci permette di apprezzarne appieno la dirompente vitalità, la contagiosa energia, l'intensità emotiva, la naturalezza nell'agire dentro e fuori i canoni.
Jason Ajemian: A Way A Land Of Life

But none of that really prepares one for ...

Ricardo Herz Trio/Phisqa at BelloBar
by Ian Patterson
Ricardo Herz Trio/Phisqa BelloBar Dublin, Ireland May 21 2014 It was a happy case of serendipity.

Peter Van Huffel/Michael Bates/Jeff Davis: Boom Crane
by Mark Corroto
Pity the neighbors of the jazz trio Boom Crane. It's not that their garage band approach to music making is off-putting or offensive, it's that the ferocity of their approach is just so demanding. Saxophonist Peter Van Huffel's New York trio of Michael Bates (bass) and Jeff Davis (drums) release this, their inaugural recording, as a ...
