Tyshawn Sorey: Koan
by AAJ Italy Staff
Parlando un paio d'anni fa dell'esordio da leader del giovane e talentuoso batterista Tyshawn Sorey [il disco si chiamava That/Not], dichiaravamo con onestà il nostro disorientamento di fronte a una scelta espressiva originale, ma alla fine poco convincente, quella di una musica astratta e filigranata, nella quale il grande magistero ritmico del musicista - che ricordiamo ...
Jesse Elder: The Winding Shell
by Ian Patterson
What is clear from one listen to The Winding Shell is that pianist Jesse Elder is a composer/arranger of some ambition. Changing time signatures and the harmonizing of alto and tenor are features of the music, as are interesting percussive dynamics and contrasts between softly voiced and more animated passages. Lively charge and pregnant pause coexist ...

by Mark Corroto

Jesse Elder: The Winding Shell
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Pianist Jesse Elder has no time for linear melodies, or logical, arithmetical rhythms. Still, on The Winding Shell, he shows himself to be a rather clever master of song form. In prismatic style, he lights up his tunes with refracted luminous and melodic excursions. He plays these around the musicians who augment his obtuse schematics, and ...
Steve Lehman Live in New Haven and Remembering James P. Johnson

The alto saxophonist and and composer has studied with Jackie McLean, Anthony Braxton, Jay Hoggard, Ron Kuivila and George Lewis, has taught in Paris and is currently working on a Ph.D (as well ...
Tyshawn Sorey: Koan
by Mark Corroto
Who would have thought that it would be a drummer to finally, and successfully bridge the worlds of jazz, minimalism, and improvisation? But, it is indeed Tyshawn Sorey, maybe known best for his work with the almost always frenetic players Vijay Iyer and Steve Lehman in the band Fieldwork, or through gigs with Dave Douglas, Steve ...

Jenny ScheinmanLe Poisson RougeNew York City August 4, 2009The chameleon-like but ever electric Nels Cline seemed at first to be an unusual partner for violinist Jenny Scheinman, but if anything the guitarist knows how to make things work and he pushed the quartet (with bassist Matt Penman and drummer Jim ...
Pascal Niggenkemper: Pasapas
by Terrell Kent Holmes
While essentially a jazz album, Pasàpas, by bassist/composer Pascal Niggenkemper's trio, explores various musical landscapes with vigor and solid musicianship, presenting a nicely diverse lineup of original tunes. “Reverie Espagnole" opens with the symphonic lament of Niggenkemper's sonorous arco and then moves into an up-tempo rhythm, where saxophonist Robin Verheyen unleashes a wicked ...
Tyshawn Sorey
by Kurt Gottschalk
This month at The Stone could be seen as a number of things. It might be a belated and prolonged birthday party for Tyshawn Sorey, who turned 29 in July. Or it could be a send-off for the percussionist/pianist (and erstwhile trombonist), who will be moving to Connecticut to study composition at Wesleyan University. Or it ...
