Chemical Clock: Bad Habitat
by Dave Wayne
Here's another example of music that's devilishly complex, a bit bizarre and full of diverse influences (avant-classical, IDM / electronica, jazz-rock, video game music, and disco-funk, just for starters) which manages to come across as a really warm, human, celebratory listening experience. It's been a couple of years since Chemical Clock issued their eponymous debut album, ...
Brad Gibson: Poontet
by Hrayr Attarian
Seattle drummer Brad Gibson's second release as a leader Poontet is a spicy batch of soulful grooves that belong on the soundtrack of a 1970s gritty detective film. Heavily reliant on electric instrumentation and densely atmospheric these half a dozen tracks are short on improvisational rigor without being mundane. They also allow for some soloing room ...
Joey Cohn Named General Manager Of KPLU/JAZZ24
Seattle-Tacoma, WA: Joey Cohn has been named General Manager of KPLU and Jazz24, after assuming the duties of Interim General Manager in April 2014. Cohn is nationally known for his expertise in programming jazz and has consulted with NPR, Verve Records and a number of public radio stations around the country. Under his leadership, KPLU was ...
The Spin Quartet: In Circles
by Dan McClenaghan
2014 has been a stellar year for jazz quartets working without chording instruments--two horns, bass/drums, no piano, no guitar. Trumpeter Tom Harrell released the marvelous a very groove-based Trip (High Note Records); a somewhat old-timey sounding Riverside (Greenleaf Music), featuring trumpeter Dave Douglas; the smoldering and hypnotic The Lathe of Heaven (ECM Records) by the Mark ...
And All That Motive: A Casey McKie Mystery
by Joan Merrill
The following is an excerpt from the first chapter of And All That Motive: A Casey McKie Mystery by Joan Merrill (CreateSpace, 2014). Who the hell was calling me this early on a Sunday morning? After a night of music and drinking. Jesus. “Casey McKie," I mumbled, not hiding my annoyance. ...
"All India Permit" - New Project & Ep From Pacific Nw-based Guitarist/Composer Alex Pinto, Due For 11/4 Release On Pursuance Records
Calarts Grad Alex Pinto has been busy since the release of his highly praised debut album Inner State (Pursuance Records) in 2011. The guitarist launched SF Offside, a Bay Area jazz and creative music festival, with music curator Laura Maguire in 2012. He was an active presence in the bustling Bay Area indie scene, collaborating with ...
Wayne Horvitz: 55: Music and Dance In Concrete
by Glenn Astarita
Reviewed on LP, the only other option for this release is a digital download, but with the latter you won't get the sharp colorful booklet that includes photos of the corresponding dance moves, choreographed by Yukio Suzuki and Wayne Horvitz' detailed album notes. The album was recorded at an old military base, Fort Worden that is ...
Indigo Mist: Cuong Vu - Richard Karpen: That The Days Go By And Never Come Again
by Glenn Astarita
Pioneering trumpeter, composer Cuong Vu and pianist Richard Karpen push the envelope by not releasing a cut and dry tribute to Duke Ellington and his counterpart Billy Strayhorn . With a standard jazz quartet supported by iPad and electronics performers, to say this album follows mainstream jazz guidelines would be a miscue of sorts. Unconventional wisdom ...
A Matthew Shipp Appreciation from Yuko Otomo
by Chris Rich
I'm always looking to introduce new people to The All About Jazz readership. Yuko Otomo provided an appreciation of Matthew Shipp from her perspective as a poet and visual artist. Let Ms. Otomo take it from here. Recently, I re-read Concerning the Spiritual in Art by Wassily Kandinsky. I don't remember how ...
Allison Adams Tucker Spends "April In Paris" For Jazz Tour
If Allison Adams Tucker’s new album, April In Paris, radiates a certain international chic, it’s because the San Diego vocalist recorded her second solo album in the City of Love with a cast of international musicians and arrangers — on UNESCO’s first International Jazz Day. The multi-lingual jazz artist (she can sing in six languages) was ...
