Yamabiko Quintet: Yamabiko Quintet
by Glenn Astarita
Yamabiko Quintet, the group's self-titled album, is a sonic adventure through the labyrinth of free jazz, where improvisation is the guiding star and the unexpected lurks around every corner. This quintet, featuring Frank Paul Schubert on saxophones, Michel Pilz on bass clarinet, Reiner Winterschladen on trumpet, Christian Ramond on bass and Klaus Kugel on drums, delivers ...
Bassdrumbone, Kim Cass & Ivo Perelman
by Maurice Hogue
Ever heard of “fartlek"? It's a method of training for runners where they can play around with their speeds, very unstructured. That's sort of what this episode of One Man's Jazz turned out to be--all over the place in terms of style, tempos, musical variations and origins in the albums debuting. For instance, the Southeast Asian ...
America in Miniatures And More
by Bob Osborne
The featured album on this edition is from guitarist Miles Okazaki who gathers an extraordinary cast of ten musicians to create Miniature America, a collection of 22 vignettes exploring the wonder of chance encounters and “found" compositions. I am featuring four of these pieces. The rest of the show includes brand new releases of both studio ...

by Maurice Hogue
Plenty of genre-stretching music in this episode, from drummer Ches Smith's new Laugh Ash, vocalist Amirtha Kidambi & Elder Ones and their drive to make their music reflect the need for protest, and the Ewart/Asplin/Ricks Trio, featuring master AACM reedist Douglas Ewart, recorded live at BYU. Polish trumpeter Piotr Damasiewicz hooks up with fellow Pole, the ...
Transatlantic Five: Transitions
by Mark Corroto
There is an expression in meditation for when an individual is concentrating on their breath, “it's a simple practice, but not easy." A similar statement might be made about Transitions by the Transatlantic Five. The music is not simple, but it is easy. Easy, at least for this quintet. The American duo of Ken ...

Three New Releases from Peter Kuhn
by Dave Wayne
Clarinetist Peter Kuhn came up in the 1970s. In those days, one could count the number of modern jazz clarinet specialists on one hand: John Carter, Perry Robinson, Theo Jorgensmann, Alvin Batiste and—if you include the bass clarinet—Michel Pilz. So, one hand and a finger. Still associated with Benny Goodman, Dixieland and Swing, the clarinet was ...
Fabio Delvò: Rastplatz
by Dave Wayne
I became aware of Fabio Delvo's music via his recordings with guitarist Jeff Platz. Platz has an ear for first-rate musicianship, and his recordings with lesser-known European musicians such as Delvo, Jan Klare, and Meinrad Kneer have been nothing short of revelatory. The title of Delvo's second album as a leader, Rastplatz, isn't a tribute to ...
