Pat Metheny: The Unity Sessions
by Mark Sullivan
Guitarist/composer Pat Metheny felt the urge to make a more traditional record with a horn plus rhythm section when he assembled what became the Unity Band in 2012. Everyone was having such a great time that they went on to make the KIN album as the Unity Group (Nonesuch, 2014), with the quartet augmented by utility ...
Audiophile Vinyl Release Of "10," By Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet, Due June 24
The release last year of 10, on ZOHO Music, marked a decade of musical innovation by Gabriel Alegría’s Afro- Peruvian Sextet, its program richly infused with Alegría’s trademark synthesis of folkloric Afro-Peruvian rhythms, jazz, and other musical strains. Now Alegría’s Saponegro Records is preparing to release an audiophile vinyl edition of 10 on June 24—the first ...
Eric Revis Trio: Crowded Solitudes
by Mark Corroto
Listening to a recording, one can assume, as opposed to attending a performance, involves just one of your five senses, hearing. The concert has of course sight, but something about Eric Revis' Crowded Solitudes suggests other senses to consider. This trio recording follows City Of Asylum (Clean Feed, 2013). Revis has retained pianist Kris Davis, but ...

Center City Jazz Festival Philadelphia, PA April 30, 2016 “The Fifth Annual Center City Jazz Festival is officially sold out!"

Carla Bley: Andando el Tiempo
by John Kelman
A few months shy of three years following the release of Trios (ECM, 2013), composer/keyboardist and NEA Jazz Master Carla Bley returns with Andando el Tiempo, an album of largely introspective music that shares much with its predecessor, but also acts as a flip side of the same coin. Like Trios, Andando el Tiempo ...

Mostly Other People Do the Killing Philadelphia Art AlliancePhiladelphia, PA February 15, 2016 “If mostly other people do the killing I guess that means it's sometimes us," replied bassist Moppa Elliot in response to the inevitable question about the name of his band. Though many consider Mostly Other People ...
Mette Rasmussen/Paul Flaherty/Chris Corsano: Star-Spangled Voltage
by Mark Corroto
I prefer the moniker 'fire music' over the descriptor 'free jazz.' It does a better job illustrating what improvising musicians achieve when they venture into the driving rhythms and forward momentum of this music. Good free jazz sounds like a bonfire. Great free jazz sounds, and feels like a barely contained wildfire. This first meeting between ...
