Tim Hagans: The Avatar Session: The Music of Tim Hagans
by John Kelman
He's been its musical director since 1996, but since 2005 trumpeter Tim Hagans' work with the Swedish Norbotten Big Band has run in a parallel stream to his more intimate, small ensemble work on the German Pirouet label, most recently on Alone Together (2008). As good as Worth the Wait (Fuzzy Music, 2008) was, The Avatar ...
Chuck Anderson: Guitar Reemergence
by Victor L. Schermer
Chuck Anderson's guitar artistry is a cut above the jazz standard. The quality of his execution is so fine that on first hearing, it is literally stunning. His recent CD, Freefall (Dreambox Media, 2010) consists of musical gems--all-original compositions, woven into a tapestry worthy of a master classical guitarist. Yet it is all straight-ahead mainstream jazz ...
Marc Mommaas: Landmarc
by Raul d'Gama Rose
If Marc Mommaas' tenor saxophone may be likened to the human voice, which is certainly the case on Landmarc, then he may be heard to sing" several parts of an interconnected suite. Although each part has a specific English name, this belies the compound emotions that lie beneath each chart. However, a more rewarding way of ...
Marc Mommaas: Landmarc
by Thomas Conrad
It has been said that if you throw a quarter off the Empire State Building you are almost as likely to hit a tenor saxophonist as concrete. But in the Selmer-toting multitudes of Manhattan, Marc Mommaas has established a unique voice and vision. He was born into an artistic family in Amsterdam in 1969 and took ...
The Dave Liebman Group: Turnaround: The Music of Ornette Coleman
by John Kelman
When listening to Ornette Coleman's music from the fertile period of his 1959-1961 Atlantic albums--beautifully documented on the aptly titled Beauty is a Rare Thing (Rhino, 1993) box set--it's perhaps a little difficult to understand what all the hubbub was about. As is so often the case, time turns naysayers into champions, and many of the ...
Marc Mommaas: Landmarc
by Dan McClenaghan
In an era of single tune downloads and shortened attention spans, works like Marc Mommaas' Landmarc could be on their way out, facing marketplace extinction. The Dutch-born, New York-based saxophonist has created a nine-song set with a continuity of concept and mood at a time when it's all too common for artists to mix lineups, moods ...
Chuck Anderson: Freefall
by Victor L. Schermer
Jazz guitarist Chuck Anderson might not be known to a wide audience despite his obvious skills to fascinate. The reason may be that the 62-year old artist's career was extensively disrupted by the theft of his Gibson L5 guitar and a severe case of obstructive sleep apnea that left him feeling like a zombie. When craftsman ...
Marc Copland Trio: Cafe Paradiso, Ottawa, Canada
by John Kelman
Marc Copland Trio Café Paradiso Ottawa, Canada February 27, 2010 Running a jazz club in a town where the scene is, in relative terms, marginal at best is a constantly risky proposition, but over the past several years Alex Demianenko's Café Paradiso has become an institution in Ottawa, where ...
