Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog
Back to our usual programme, here’s a review I promised you before our holiday break, the new effort by Marc Ribot’s power trio Ceramic Dog, “Party Intellectuals” out on Pi Recordings. The left handed avant/jazz/punk/rock guitar mammoth Marc Ribot teams up with Shahzad Ismaily and Ches Smith from Secret Chiefs 3, to give another taste [...]
Ahleuchatistas
Cuneiform never fails to impress us with a steady supply of brilliant albums. Here’s a new album, by the band that I still haven’t been able to pronounce correctly : Ahleuchatistas. The North Carolina power trio belongs to the increasing number of brilliant progressive math rock albums that I’ve been listening to this year, full [...]
Vacation 2
Marc Ribot by Pennello
Here’s the second post I’ve backed up before I went on vacation, 2 great songs from 2 guitar giants. First Marc Ribot going wild with Yezriel, a bluesy song off his new album on Tzadik with a powerful riff on the wonderful Book of Angels series which previously saw the Jamie Saft [...]
The Thing on Smalltown Supersound
The Thing with Ken Vandermark by Mizohu Yabe
We’ve been slacking on posting avantjazz for a while since I haven’t found anything notable to listen these days (care to help? comment pls.) so here’s 2006’s Action Jazz by Mats Gustafsson’s The Thingon Smalltown Supersound. Their eighth studio album is a chaotic tornado which defined Allaboutjazz summed [...]
Rashanim videos
I was searching for videos of the NYC avant jazz rock power trio Rashanim on the net for some time to no avail. A few days ago I saw that they announced a live video on their myspace page. Quickly checking it revealed not one but 4 complete Rashanim pieces played live at Bowery Poetry [...]
Rashanim
If you’re living in NYC and are into the avant/jazz rock scene chances are you’ve heard of the power trio Rashanim. I’ve mentioned their myspace page before, but their new album Shalosh on Tzadik deserves a dedicated post. Rashanim is guitarist Jon Madof, bassist Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz (who was also playing the upright bass on [...]
Hadouk Trio
If everything’s gone right, you’ll be seeing this post and we’re hopefully in Prague.
Hadouk Trio is the brain child of Didier Malherbe and Loy Ehrlich with percussionist Steve Shehan. All three are multi instrumentalists, and the music sounds very rich and the instruments are warm, especially the Dodouk (from which the second part of [...]
Esbjoern Svensson Trio
One of the smoothest and most elegant trios of the last decades is definitely E.S.T Led by Swedish Pianist Esbjoern Svensson with Dan Berglund on Bass and Magnus Ostrom on Drums, they have been labeled the next jazz phenomenon by many established magazines, and they have surely taken the jazz trio band to a new [...]
Jamie Saft Trio plays Bob Dylan
I’ve been holding my breath for this album since the moment I read about it. First, I really liked the previous Jamie Saft Trio album that played tunes from the Masada Songbook. Then Jamie Saft is one of the best sound engineer/producers/pianists around and Bob Dylan is highly respected here, I wondered what the outcome [...]
Fahir Atakoglu Trio
Well I wouldn’t want to show this as a solo album, but the names of these guys added up would take up half the screen together, so I shortened the title a little bit. The correct title should have read Fahir Atakoglu / Horacio El Negro Hernandez / Anthony Jackson - If (what an ironically [...]
