William Parker's magnificent bass playing is absent on his new release Waltz For Gregory, but he's still all over the album as composer, lyricist & producer. This one's got a bit of a Raining On The Moon vibe for me. Speaking of bassists, Devra Hoff's new Baile As Baile is an exciting solo excursion, while Joe Morris teams up with two of his top students for a really strong album in Dispersion. Pianist Thollem continues to stir the pot, punching out his new DoReMiAntifa Symphony in rapid fashion so its anti-U.S. administration tilt would be available before the mid-terms (looks like it helped!). From across the still-named Atlantic Ocean come new recordings by English pianist Stan Tracey (Tribute To Monk), English saxophonist Paul Dunmall with a youthful group turning to Miles and Eddie Harris, Berlin pianist Chaerin Im, the blistering Altered Forms Trio from Germany reinforced by experimental guitarist Steffi Narr, and Poland's Oles Brothers with late clarinetist Theo Jorgensmann live On The Tour With Theo. Tim Berne & Tom Rainey hook up today's New York free improv with its Mediterranean counterpart on Koper8 featuring Italy's Giuseppe Doronzo on baritone sax and Greek guitarist Jannis Anastasakis, contrasting nicely with free jazz from the '70s Loft Scene in the persons of the Julius Hemphill & the Black Artists Group from St. Louis playing at Studio Rivbea, another gem plucked from the archives of the late Sam Rivers.
