The award-winning Whitworth Jazz Ensemble recently returned to Spokane after a successful tour of New York City and New Orleans Jan. 9-20. Highlights of the tour included performing with jazz legend Lee Konitz and well-regarded jazz musicians Donny McCaslin, Ryan Keberle and Larry Panella. While in New York City, the ensemble performed at Hunter College with McCaslin and Keberle. They also played at...
Andrea Pattinson (vcl), Dave Dunston (alt/sop), Graham Wood (pno), Richard Rutherford (bs), Paul Smith (dms). Tonight I had my better (ish) half with me and I'm pleased to report the food and the music was to her taste. Marlene's sardine starter, she said, went down a treat although she did find it disconcerting to have the poor creatures eyes staring up at her. I had no such problem with my squid...
Live At Saint Stephens with baritone saxophonist Charles Evans and pianist Neil Shah -- together with the Dan Tepfer / Lee Konitz Duos With Lee (Sunnyside Records, 2009)--is certainly one of the most wildly adventurous records in recent memory. It is not quite entirely spontaneous or improvisational as some of Keith Jarrett 's records are. But playing under a magisterial dome of sound--both deep and...
Michael Attias – Renku in Coimbra (CF 162) Fluent, stylish saxophonist MICHAËL ATTIAS—whose long history with local cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm includes playing together in New York combos like Peep and Anthony Coleman’s Self-Haters in the early 90s—is the most jazz-oriented participant. On the excellent new Renku in Coimbra (Clean Feed), a trio outing with bassist John [...]...

Michael Attias Barbes Brooklyn, NY December 3, 2009 Michael Attias is known for his work on alto and baritone saxophones, but on the new Clean Feed disc Renku In Coimbra he plays only alto. This was his game plan too at Barbes (Dec. 3rd), where he gathered together his Renku trio with bassist John Hebert and drummer Satoshi [...]
Rodrigo Amado draws on the saxophone trio tradition running from Sonny Rollins and Lee Konitz through to modern masters like Ken Vandermark. In fact, he is joined here by a couple of Vandermark's regular cohorts, Kent Kessler on bass and Paul Nilssen-Love on drums. They make a really tight trio that plays thrilling music on this disc. Amado plays with a deep, brawny tone on baritone saxophone and fleet...

My apologies to Peter Bacon for not mentioning it earlier but his review of the Lee Konitz gig in Birmingham at the beginning of the month is well worth reading. It's an excellent review so evocative you can almost hear the music. Check it out on his blog The Jazz Breakfast. Nice one Peter. Lance.
Lee and Warne doing their thing impeccably well. Beautiful soloing, both individually and unison. The rhythm section swings along nicely but there is little direct interaction between the front line and the drums/bass. The focus on the melodic line gives it a slightly abstract/ethereal quality, though the lines themselves certainly swing. Do The Math has some interesting essays on the Tristano school...
Mo’ Clean Feed Records The demand for free jazz and creative improvised music must be a whole lot greater in Europe than it is here in these United States, because the folks at Clean Feed Records in Lisbon continue to release interesting, challenging recordings at a rate that would probably break the bank at an American [...]
Bob Brookmeyer turns 80 years old today. To anyone with any interest in large-scale jazz composition, Brookmeyer is a figure of near-idolatrous worship. He's earned his place in the pantheon of great large ensemble composers many times over, alongside figures...
Oscar Feldman is ready, with Oscar e Familia, to put his own stamp on the alto saxophone. Not since the fire of {{Jackie McLean = 9283}}, the cool breeze of {{Lee Konitz = 8463}}, {{Eric Dolphy = 6340}}'s rhythmic advances, {{Ornette Coleman = 5818}}'s Harmolodic theories, and {{Steve Coleman = 5820}}'s mBase concepts, has someone attempted to create a new language for that instrument. True, {{Charlie...
