Ingrid Laubrock: Ubatuba
by Karl Ackermann
It's hard to believe that German born saxophonist and composer Ingrid Laubrock has been recording since the late 1990s, perhaps because there is a distinct newness to every project she releases. Although she trained with Jean Toussaint in London for a short time and later with Dave Liebman, Laubrock is very much a self-made artist with ...

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 ...
Tyshawn Sorey: Alloy
by Luca Canini
Certi dischi ci impiegano un po' ad arrivare. Hanno bisogno di una certa distanza, di tempo per sedimentare in fondo alle orecchie. Giorni, settimane, a volte mesi. Guai ad avere fretta: bisogna saperli aspettare con infinita pazienza, coccolarli e convincerli dolcemente a parlare. Impresa che di fronte all'ostinato silenzio del timido Alloy, quarta ...

Mario Pavone: Blue Dialect
by Mark Corroto
Gone are the days where a jazz trio maintains a three month residency, playing nightly in a club. Nor are there world traveling units that refine their skills nightly on the road, working and reworking material. There will be no more piano trios led by the likes of Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans. But have no ...
Brad Allen Williams: Lamar
by Jack Bowers
Brad Allen Williams is another in a seemingly endless stream of splendid guitarists dating back to the earliest days of jazz, set apart from the herd on Lamar primarily by choice of instrumentation, material and manner of recording. Williams' trio, whose other members are organist Pat Bianchi and drummer Tyshawn Sorey, have chosen to ...

Dre Hocevar Trio: Coding Of Evidentiality
by Mark Corroto
Given the title of drummer Dre Hocevar's recording, the question arises: can one classify or identify a system's disorder, i.e. entropy? The liner notes give us a hint. Laurence Donohue-Greene writes, this trio of Hocevar, pianist Bram De Looze and cellist St.Louis, “develop each improvisation compositionally and with tenacious unity." I suspect, when there is human ...
