New reviews from One Final Note:
30 January 2006
Matthew Shipp
One (Thirsty Ear)
by John EylesGiven his recent history of pushing at boundaries, experimenting and taking risks with form and content, it appears that Shipp has played it safe here.
Michaël Attias
Credo (Clean Feed)
by Troy CollinsMore edgy and invigorating than Renku, with strong guest appearances, this 1999 session is a truly wonderful discovery.
Satoko Fujii
Live in Japan 2004 Strange Village
(NatSat Onoff/Muzak)
by Jay CollinsEvery so often, a record comes along from an established artist that makes one reassess his or her accomplishments.
Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey
The Sameness of Difference (Hyena)
by David DupontLike the Bad Plus, JFJO incorporates elements of contemporary pop into the venerable piano trio format.
Marc Copland
Some Love Songs (Pirouet)
by Chris KelseyCopland’s trio breathes together as a single entity, which is pretty much the way jazz—of whatever persuasion—should be played.
The Village Voice provides the review.
Here’s another unique and cool idea. EARLabs provides link to and reviews of music released by both elabels and traditional labels. The musical focus seems to be electronic and ambient, and if you follow the links, at least some of the albums are available for free.
Here’s something I never thought I’d post. It is a UK commercial for a Honda and…well just take a look. Turn up those speakers and make sure you watch the rehearsal as well.
