Empty Cage Quartet: Gravity
by Troy Collins
Widely admired for its intricate mathematical construction, the Mayan calendar is far more than just a lightning rod for misguided prophets predicting the end of the world; it is also the source of inspiration for Gravity, the fourth studio recording from the young West Coast-based Empty Cage Quartet. The album consists of two extended compositions, which ...
Leo Smith: Spiritual Dimensions
by AAJ Italy Staff
Bene ha fatto Leo Smith a intitolare questo poderoso compendio del suo lavoro più recente Spiritual Dimensions, perché pochi improvvisatori sulla scena possono oggi vantare la forza e la profondità spirituali che lo caratterizzano. Spiritual Dimensions esemplifica, in due diverse sedute di registrazione, le apparentemente diverse strade che oggi percorre il trombettista: da un lato il ...

Harris Eisenstadt: From Mbalax to Canada Day
by Clifford Allen
Over the past decade, drummer, bandleader and composer Harris Eisenstadt has been a force in improvised music, active in both Los Angeles and New York (where he now resides). It's a testament to his creativity and energy that his ensembles have run the gamut from free-bop in the vein of post-Blue Note small groups, to orchestral ...
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 ...

Alexander Hawkins Ensemble: No Now Is So...
by John Sharpe
Both the enigmatic title and Red Planet sleeve photography of this debut recording by Alexander Hawkins' six-piece ensemble suggest something out of the ordinary. The feeling is confirmed by a glance at the distinctive instrumentation, which pitches the strings of cellist Hannah Marshall, guitarist Otto Fischer and bassist Dominic Lash against the percussion of Javier Carmona ...
Warren Smith: Old News Borrowed Blues
by Jerry D'Souza
Warren Smith (drums, vibraphone, percussion) does not have a deep discography as a leader, and so any recording by him is most welcome. All the music on this CD has been performed live but never released, and the wait makes hearing it all the sweeter. Though his work as leader has been thin, Smith ...
