New Music From Harry Skoler, Joe Syrian, Emie R Roussel, Ava Mendoza And More
by Bob Osborne
This selection offers a sophisticated journey through the contemporary jazz landscape, balancing melodic tradition with rigorous avant-garde exploration. The sequence moves seamlessly from the elegant, Goodman-inspired tones of Harry Skoler and the rhythmic drive of the Motor City Jazz Octet into the more abstract, adventurous territories of Ava Mendoza and Joel Futterman. Featuring a rich blend ...
Mal Wadron, Sam Rivers, Nick Fraser, Meredith Bates, and much more
by Lawrence Peryer
An hour of creative music where archival recordings and new releases share equal footing. Irreversible Entanglements and a newly surfaced 1984 Mal Waldron-Sam Rivers improvisation open the show; Alabaster DePlume, a Daunik Lazro-Joëlle Léandre-Paul Lovens trio, Work Money Death, and Nick Fraser carry the middle sets; and Vancouver composer Meredith Bates closes it out with music ...
William Parker / Hugo Costa / Philipp Ernsting: Pulsar
by John Sharpe
Inestimable bassist William Parker has made hundreds of records, but this unlikely meeting with two stalwarts of the Rotterdam scene, Portuguese alto saxophonist Hugo Costa and German drummer Philipp Ernsting, should not to be overlooked. The Dutch-based pair invited Parker to join them for a recording in October 2023 and Pulsar is the splendid result. Costa ...
Klein / Rosaly / Warelis: Tendresse
by John Sharpe
Tendresse unites three talented improvisers residing in the cosmopolitan melting pot of Amsterdam in a low key frenzy of deep listening and inspired response. German reedman Tobias Klein has been an inhabitant in the Dutch city for over thirty years, while Polish pianist Marta Warelis and American drummer Frank Rosaly are more recent transplants. However, whatever ...
Elisabeth Harnik / Zlatko Kaučič: One Foot In The Air
by John Sharpe
Most jazz lovers will likely remember an occasion when the musicians played as if their lives depended on it to an almost empty room. Judging from the applause, the audience on 14 June 2022 at Kulturhalle Eggersdorf in Austria was not the biggest, but those present were lucky enough to witness a veritable feast of improvised ...
The Worlds of Ignaz Schick
by Mark Corroto
It may be a bit of hyperbole to call Ignaz Schick a Renaissance man. If, though, we take architect Leon Battista Alberti's (1404-72) definition “a man can do all things if he will," then labeling Schick with that epithet is not such a stretch. The German composer, musician, turntablist, visual artist, label chief, and inventor has ...
Seppe Gebruers: Playing With Standards
by Mark Corroto
Pianist Seppe Gebruers with his Playing With Standards follows in the footsteps of visual artists who work in xerography, a type of Situationists' détournement that construct art via a photocopier. While the 42 tracks presented over three discs reproduce jazz and pop standards, Gebruers' 'copies' are not reproductions as much as they are the products of ...
François Carrier/Alexander von Schlippenbach/John Edwards/Michel Lambert: Unwalled
by Mark Corroto
Don't you love it when a plan comes together? Even if the plan is totally improvised, as is that of Unwalled. The album is the first meeting between Canadian alto saxophonist François Carrier and German-born pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach. The free jazz pioneer Schlippenbach was the founder of the Globe Unity Orchestra back in 1966, and ...
Sebi Tramontana: Unfolding To Be You
by Mark Corroto
This solo trombone recording by Sebi Tramontana could be called a master class if it wasn't such an intimate and personal experience. The Sicilian-born trombonist known for his work in the Italian Instabile Orchestra, the Georg Graewe Quintet, Pipeline 8, and free improvised duos with everyone from Frank Gratkowski to Giovanni Maier, Jeb Bishop and Joëlle ...
