Parker / Beresford / Edwards / Moholo: Foxes Fox
by Robert Spencer
Foxes Fox is a relatively rare opportunity to hear master improvising saxophonist Evan Parker in the company of a pianist, although these opportunities are increasing of late: since 1995 he has recorded in a quartet setting with Marilyn Crispell ( Natives and Aliens, Leo) and in duets with Agustí Fernández ( Tempranillo, Nova Era) and George ...
Misha Mengelberg: Two Days in Chicago
by Robert Spencer
Like Jubilee Varia (hatOLOGY 528), this 2CD-set illustrates the dangerous, death-defying, life-enhancing pianistic and compositional talents of Misha Mengelberg, the world's challenging Dutch leader of these ever-memorable Two Days in Chicago. Also like Jubilee Varia, this disc features some of the foremost improvisers on the scene today, all stoked to new heights by the combustible talents ...
Marc Wagnon: An Afterthought
by Glenn Astarita
Many of us have been anticipating the reissue on CD of Swiss vibraphonist Marc Wagnon's late 80's LP titled, Shadowlines. Wagnon, a member of the much beloved New York prog-rock/modern jazz outfit 'Dr. Nerve', along with the powerhouse prog/fusion band Tunnels and a lengthy tenure with the infamous 'Brand X' has done the modern jazz community ...
Misha Feigin: Both Kinds of Music
by Robert Spencer
Misha Feigin plays a balalaika, which may be only a word from the Beatles' “Back in the USSR" to many people, but becomes here an excellent vehicle for improvisation. He also plays a classical guitar on four of these seven duos (and balalaika on four as well: he plays both on “A Meter Violation"). All seven ...
Derek Bailey: Fairly Early with Postscripts
by Robert Spencer
Derek Bailey is the master of the ungroove, of the sound of the moment without reliance on rhythmic or melodic predictability. His guitar music, as well as being tuneless and arhythmic, is forbidding and full of noise effects. Consequently, perhaps the only predictable thing on this disc of miscellaneous pieces dating from 1971 to 1988 is ...
Derek Sherinian: Planet X
by Glenn Astarita
California based keyboard expert Derek Sherinian has performed with diverse artists such as glam rock superstars Kiss and Alice Cooper while also being a member of the prog-metal band, Dream Theater. Recently, Sherinian offered his highly adept talents to the markedly successful Emerson, Lake & Palmer tribute disc, which was also released on the Magna Carta ...
Borah Bergman/Oliver Lake: A New Organization
by Robert Spencer
Borah Bergman plies his unique off-kilter lyricism here in the company of Oliver Lake, who shares his ability to deflect melodic progressions into unexpected areas. This particular duo combination can set off as many sparks as one might expect: many of the tracks contain a good deal of pedal-to-the-floor intensity, but there is more than just ...
Bill Laswell: Invisible Design
by AAJ Staff
Bill Laswell's primary role as producer on most of his recordings has historically overshadowed his role as musician and performer. He earned a notorious reputation for his fine work with musicians like Pharoah Sanders and Ginger Baker, though the end products of these collaborations have fairly been criticized for being over-produced. The characteristic Laswell sound is ...
Derek Bailey-John Stevens-Trevor Watts: Dynamics Of The Impromptu
by Glenn Astarita
Imagine three scholars sitting under dim lights at a coffeehouse discussing world politics or social disorder? Dynamics of the Impromptu may imply such a scenario as three of the founding fathers of the British Free-Jazz movement coalesced at London’s “Little Theater Club” in 1973 and 1974. Dynamics of the Impromptu represents previously unreleased material which signifies ...
