Miles Davis' 3rd Quintet: Reference: Bitches Brew Live 1969 In Europe
by Mark Corroto
For Miles Davis, timing was everything. His music rarely stood still long enough for audiences to catch up. The Columbia releases of Filles de Kilimanjaro (January 29, 1969) and In a Silent Way (July 30, 1969) marked the decisive bridge between his acoustic past and electric future. Yet Davis was already moving beyond that bridge before ...
Philippe Crettien: Healthy Trail
by Sue Yang
Philippe Crettien's Healthy Trail is a chordless trio album built around implication. Written for saxophone, bass and drums, it removes piano and guitar from the ensemble and makes that open space the source of the music's tension, clarity and risk. Harmony emerges through motion: Barry Smith's bass establishing temporary ground, Crettien's saxophone placing shifting triadic colors ...

This ...
Neves e Silva: Ladeiras de Santa Teresa
by Katchie Cartwright
Ladeiras de Santa Teresa opens with a big polymetric beat and powerful brass and percussion up front. You might flash on the Afro-Bahian sound of Letieres Leite's Orkestra Rumpilezz. The groove shifts suddenly, releasing into a jazz feel; Brazilian jazz that is, not swing or bebop, though Charlie Parker's “Star Eyes" with intro serves as a ...
GEORGE: Looking for Consonance
by Glenn Astarita
John Hollenbeck has spent much of the past three decades blurring the boundaries between jazz, chamber music and improvisation. A Grammy-nominated composer and bandleader known for his work with the Claudia Quintet and the John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble, he enters a new chapter with an electro-acoustic ensemble named after George Floyd. Its debut recording, Letters to ...
Miles Davis: Miles '56: The Prestige Recordings
by Mark Corroto
The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus never met Miles Davis, but his famous observation, “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man," seems tailor-made for the trumpeter. Few artists transformed themselves as completely or as often as Davis. Listeners encountering his music today can ...
