Terry Adams: Terrible [Deluxe Edition]

by Dave Linn
February 19, 2024

Terry Adams is best known for his work with the seminal band, NRBQ (New Rhythm & Blues Quartet). Their self-titled debut (Columbia, 1969), included Sun Ra's “Rocket Number Nine." The follow-up was a collaboration with early rock legend Carl Perkins called Boppin' The Blues. In 1974 singer, songwriter, and guitarist extraordinaire, Big Al Anderson and drummer Tom Ardolino joined the band. For the next 20 years that lineup thrilled live audiences around the world. In 1994, Anderson (dismayed by the ...

New York Art Quartet: New York Art Quartet Revisited

by Alberto Bazzurro
January 9, 2024

Questa preziosa (ancora una volta) riedizione di oltre un'ora e un quarto di musica riunisce i primi due album di uno dei gruppi più leggendari della stagione free, il primo intitolato semplicemente col suo nome e pubblicato dall'altrettanto leggendaria ESP fondata nel 1963 da Bernard Stollman (incisione del 16 novembre 1964), il secondo, Mohawk, di pochi mesi successivo (17 luglio 1965), edito su Fontana. Il gruppo è per tre quarti identico in entrambe le occasioni, allineando figure nodali di quella ...

Archie Shepp: Fire Music To Mama Too Tight Revisited

by Chris May
September 26, 2022

In 2022, it is widely accepted that, when free jazz (aka the New Thing) was in its ascent in New York in the 1960s, there was, despite superficial appearances, no fundamental incompatibility between it and the historical jazz tradition. More contentiously, revisionist historians are now suggesting that there was no real conflict between New Thing and changes-based or modal-based musicians either. They should try telling that to Archie Shepp. In autumn 1966, during the Miles Davis quintet's ...

Roswell Rudd, Duck Baker: Live

by Mario Calvitti
February 2, 2022

La combinazione in duo tra trombone e chitarra (particolarmente se acustica) non è mai stata molto frequente, ma d'altra parte anche Duck Baker non è proprio un chitarrista convenzionale. Partito dal fingerpicking tradizionale nella scuderia di Stefan Grossman, ha ben presto allargato il suo raggio d'azione fino a comprendere tutta la storia del jazz, dal ragtime al free d'avanguardia, soffermandosi in particolare su alcuni nomi (notevoli i suoi omaggi a Herbie Nichols e Thelonious Monk), unendo spesso le forze con ...

Albert Ayler: New York Eye and Ear Control Revisited

by Mark Corroto
August 10, 2021

The backstory of New York Ear and Eye Control is a significant factor in the music and the direction free jazz took in the 1960s. Filmmaker Michael Snow commissioned Albert Ayler's trio with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Sunny Murray to record a thirty-minute soundtrack for a movie, “Walking Woman," he had yet to film. As explained in the liner notes, he “wanted to buy a half hour of music." Also invited to the session were trumpeter & cornetist Don ...

Albert Ayler: New York Eye And Ear Control Revisited

by Chris May
July 30, 2021

The development of so-called free jazz in New York during the first half of the 1960s was topped and tailed by three landmark recordings: Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz (Atlantic, 1961), John Coltrane's Ascension (Impulse, 1966) and Albert Ayler's New York Eye And Ear Control (ESP, 1966). Of the three discs, only New York Eye And Ear Control broke away completely from jazz's normative structure of theme/solos/theme. Commissioned as an art-film soundtrack, Ayler's recording was also the product of an altogether ...

Roswell Rudd - Blown Bone (Emanem)

August 3, 2010

Martin Davidson, proprietor of Emanem, has long made it a custom to include helpful “File under:" tags on his releases to aid harried record shop clerks in correctly identifying contents. Blown Bone, a reissue of a 1979 Japanese-only Philips platter, carries the colorful signifier “Jazz (Free/Blues/Latin)," a definite first in the commonly free improv-focused catalog and one that speaks directly to trombonist Roswell Rudd's career-spanning eclecticism. The cast of characters is just as colorful with Steve Lacy, Enrico Rava, Paul ...
