High Octane Free Improv: Adam Caine Trio & Vinny Golia/Damon Smith/Weasel Walter
by Clifford Allen
History paints an image of high energy rock music and free improvisation as having very little to do with one another--which isn't surprising considering the fact that heavily-amplified rock power trios were marketed as improvisation-heavy blues for mostly white audiences (giving saxophonist Albert Ayler short shrift). When jazz musicians like drummer Tony Williams and guitarist John ...
Don Cherry: Hear And Now
by Chris May
That multi-instrumentalist and world jazz pioneer Don Cherry was able to adopt such a beatific countenance for the cover shot of Hear And Now says much for the power of yoga, given the horrors that follow.

by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.
Every time I have the opportunity to attend a performance by Atomic, I find myself asking, how does a band this dynamic and creative miss the radar on so many different media and industry levels? If the Miles Davis Quintet with Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and Herbie Hancock could have rocked, they would have ...

Billy Harper: Blueprints of Jazz, Vol. 2
by George Kanzler
Tenor saxophonist Billy Harper has been keeping the jazz fires kindled by the ritualistic, incantatory side of the classic John Coltrane Quartet stoked and burning bright for over a quarter-century. Here Harper's working quintet, augmented by a second bassist, presents a program redolent of the processional and the chant. Over it all, Harper's coruscating, brawny tenor ...
