Tori Freestone Trio: El Barranco
by Roger Farbey
El Barranco is the Tori Freestone Trio's follow-up to their 2014 debut album In The Chop House, released once again on the ever-burgeoning Whirlwind Recordings label. The chordless sound of the trio evinces a warmth which inevitably invites comparisons with the chief progenitor of this configuration, Sonny Rollins and his 1957 album Way Out ...
Patrick Cornelius: While We’re Still Young
by Vincenzo Roggero
While We're Still Young è un buon esempio di modern mainstream intelligente, dinamico, propositivo. Patrick Cornelius assemblea un ottetto di musicisti eterogenei e dalle diversificate frequentazioni, scrive appositamente per questa formazione una manciata di intriganti composizioni e i giochi sono fatti. “Sand Between the Toes," per esempio, inizia con un lento movimento innodico per poi tramutarsi ...
Jason Palmer and Cédric Hanriot: City Of Poets
by Roger Farbey
The formal structure of this album recorded live at London's Pizza Express Jazz Club on September 23, 2014, centres around Olivier Messiaen's Seven modes of limited transposition, musical modes or scales that fulfil specific criteria relating to their symmetry and the repetition of their interval groups. As with George Russell's Lydian chromatic concept of tonal organization ...
Preston Glasgow Lowe: Preston Glasgow Lowe
by Roger Farbey
Don't let the triple-moniker business-like name fool you, these ain't no suits and this is an excellent start for PGL's eponymous debut album. A flurry of repeated shimmering phrases introduces “Colour Possesses" which shortly after its brief guitar opening evolves into multi-tracking embellished with programmed synthesizer, leading to a resonance of Robert Fripp and the League ...

Zhenya Strigalev: Never Group
by Mark F. Turner
Alto saxophonist Zhenya Strigalev's trio Never Group with drummer Eric Harland and bassist Tim Lefebvre bring its definition of punk jazz with in-ear-your-ear performances with a nonchalant attitude. Recorded over two days in Berlin with a few guests dropping in on the fun, the recording is compelling in its inventive energy. This follow-up ...
Zhenya Strigalev: Never Group
by Roger Farbey
Tim Lefebvre was the last bassist to record with David Bowie. He's featured on Blackstar, arguably Bowie's best and certainly most poignant album. Drummer Eric Harland has recorded with Charles Lloyd's Quartet, Dave Holland, Joshua Redman and McCoy Tyner. These two musicians form the essential backbone of Russian-born, London-based alto saxophonist Zhenya Strigalev's trio who dominate ...
Jeff Williams: Outlier
by Roger Farbey
Drummer Jeff Williams is an American expatriate now residing in London, England. Following his formal drumming studies commencing in 1968 at Berklee College of Music, Williams became a seasoned veteran of the U.S. jazz scene, accompanying some of the biggest names in the business including Stan Getz, Joe Lovano, Dave Liebman, Richie Beirach, Cedar Walton, Lee ...
Matt Ridley: Mettã
by Roger Farbey
A graduate of London's Trinity College of Music, this is in-demand bassist Matt Ridley's second album as leader. On “Music To Drive Home To" Jason Yarde plays a repeated plangent melody on soprano saxophone followed by John Turville elegantly soloing on piano. As its name implies “Lachrymose" is something of a tear-jerking exercise with Yarde squeezing ...
Patrick Cornelius: While We’re Still Young
by Roger Farbey
An alumnus of Berklee School of Music, saxophonist Patrick Cornelius has now released his sixth album containing a very fine suite of his own compositions, inspired by the poetry of A.A. Milne, the British children's author of When We Were Very Young. A brief horn introduction, reminiscent of the slow movement in Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 ...
