Paul Shapiro's Ribs and Brisket Revue: Essen
by Eyal Hareuveni
Reed man Paul Shapiro is one of the most resourceful and versatile musicians in the vibrant New York scene. In addition to his work in the jazz world, with Phillip Johnston's Microscopic Septet and forward-thinking improvisers such as Julius Hemphill and Elliot Sharp, Shapiro is a founding member of the international musicians' cooperative, Brooklyn ...
Borah Bergman - Giorgio Dini: One More Time
by AAJ Italy Staff
Una mano sinistra con pochi eguali nella storia del jazz, una mano destra che sembra ricevere impulsi incontrollabili dalla sua compagna, e gli incroci pericolosi, frenetici, geniali fra le dieci dita. Lui è Borah Bergman, settantacinque anni di saggezza, di sperimentazione, di discrezione, di oscuro lavoro lontano dai riflettori, e di straordinaria ammirazione da parte dei ...
David Buchbinder: Odessa / Havana
by David Miller
How is it possible to create a fusion between Jewish and Cuban music? The two cultures seem to be at odds with each other--the laid back, relaxed syncopation of the Latin tradition and the spiritual urgency of the Jewish faith and its music. Canadian trumpeter David Buchbinder, however, successfully achieves just such a combination on his ...
Klez-Edge: Ancestors, Mindreles, NaGila Monsters
by Lyn Horton
Although rewards can come from listening to a recording where mixing styles is done through patching different samples together, the music on Ancestors, Mindreles, NaGila Monsters radiates out of the mindful integration of several identifiable musical idioms within the same performance spectrum. A child of pianist Burton Greene's 1989 band Klezmokum, the group Klez-Edge does more ...
David Buchbinder: Odessa/Havana
by Elliott Simon
Significant Jewish participation in the Latin dance craze of the 1950s resulted in several novelty fusion records that Latinized traditional Jewish melodies within a jazz context. By presenting the melody against a Latin rhythm, “Hava Nagilah" was thusly transformed into a cha-cha. In 2002, Cuban percussionist Roberto Rodriguez reinvented and dramatically advanced this sub-genre by beautifully ...
John Zorn / Bar Kokhba: Lucifer: Book of Angels Volume 10
by Troy Collins
Lucifer is the first studio recording in ten years from composer John Zorn's most popular Masada line-up--the chamber sextet, Bar Kokhba. Although Zorn's reputation as the enfant terrible of music has followed him since the early '80s, his various Masada projects have been universally acclaimed, which showcase a surprisingly accessible side of this extraordinarily diverse and ...
Steven Bernstein: Diaspora Suite
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Diaspora Suite is the fourth installment of trumpeter Steven Bernstein's Diaspora series, which explores the connections between Jewish melodic traditions and contemporary styles. And it may be the most personal. The six-hour session was recorded in Oakland, California--Bernstein's hometown--and included musicians he's played with since grade school: multi-instrumentalist Peter Apfelbaum, trombonist Jeff Cressman and drummer Josh ...
Dan Kaufman: Force of Light
by Eyal Hareuveni
This may be the most challenging, but also one of the most rewarding releases, in Tzadik's Radical Jewish Culture series history. Art-rock Barbez's Dan Kaufman's musical realization of the poems of the late Jewish/German poet Paul Celan (1920-1970) is a courageous act. Celan, whose parents perished in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II while ...
Steven Bernstein: Diaspora Suite
by Troy Collins
Diaspora Suite is trumpeter and bandleader Steven Bernstein's fourth recording (and first of all original material) in a series dedicated to radical reinterpretations of traditional Yiddish melodies. After a memorial for the late director Robert Altman (Bernstein scored Altman's Kansas City), he reflected on a quote from Altman, “Create an event and shoot it like you ...
Steven Bernstein: Diaspora Suite
by John Kelman
Leaving behind the west coast cool of 2004's Diaspora Hollywood, Steven Bernstein travels 350 miles north along the California coast to Oakland for the edgier, left coast avant of Diaspora Suite. It's the freest, most aggressive disc in the trumpeter's Diaspora series, which began with 1999's Diaspora Soul and continued with 2002's Diaspora Blues, all four ...
