Being both a bestselling jazz-fusion superstar and an experimental collaborator with John Zorn and Ornette Coleman takes rare agility, but guitarist Pat Metheny has managed both. Metheny’s 2020 album, performed by his current live band (UK pianist Gwilym Simcock, bassist Linda May Han Oh, and drummer Antonio Sánchez) with guest appearances from voc...
Recorded in 1959 – a year of landmark jazz releases including Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue – John Coltrane’s Giant Steps set a scorching new standard of expressiveness on a saxophone. The album’s 60th anniversary was celebrated by Rhino’s luxurious, outtakes-packed release, detailing Coltrane’s quest for a spiritual new music – built here from a fusi...
American sax star Joshua Redman’s 1994 quartet with pianist Brad Mehldau, bassist Christian McBride and drummer Brian Blade was one of the standout lineups of that decade – but short-lived, because all the members were on the brink of breakouts into their own fertile careers. They reunited in 2019 to record RoundAgain, with decades of experience re...
Not exactly a landmark in the kind of out-of-nowhere improv phrasing that makes you jump out of your skin, but a fascinating snapshot of young jazz-fascinated UK R&B, grime, hip-hop and electronics. Sixteen tracks span a song-centred account of St Germain’s loop-driven Rose Rouge from vocalist Jorja Smith, Ezra Collective’s cool distillation of Way...
In the 1960s, the unquenchably inventive tenor sax improviser Sonny Rollins often toured without a band, hooking up with local players in whatever town invited him. These previously unreleased 1967 recordings in the Netherlands mark the 36-year-old Rollins’s first meetings with the young Dutch bass and drums pairing of Ruud Jacobs and emerging avan...
Third release by Laura Jurd’s Dinosaur quartet – the most compatible vehicle for the prolific young British trumpeter/composer’s inquisitively evolving fusion of jazz and folk materials, global influences, and sophisticated absorption of 20th-century classical music. Jurd always seems blissfully and refreshingly indifferent to transient fashions, t...
The partnership between guitarist John Scofield and electric bassist Steve Swallow goes back a long way, and they both have instantly recognisable identities on their respective versions of a guitar. Scofield plays jazz with a biting, sometimes dissonant bluesiness owing as much to Jimi Hendrix as to his teacher Jim Hall, and Swallow’s airily lyric...
The third of a sequence of moving trio recordings by the jazz-composing legend and pianist Carla Bley, with bassist Steve Swallow and UK saxophonist Andy Sheppard – a typically whimsical confection of slinky blues, impish tangos, Monk-like figures and oblique takedowns of patriotic anthems, linked by all-but-psychic ensemble improv. The title refle...
A double celebration from the inimitable UK composer/pianist Django Bates – his own 60th birthday, and the centenary of the birth of Charlie “Bird” Parker, probably Bates’s biggest jazz hero, though one whose legacy he has explored and developed in the most wilfully devious ways. Tenacity, recorded with Sweden’s loose-limbed and free-thinking Norrb...
The sensibilities of the great American composer, bandleader and musicians’-rights campaigner Maria Schneider have usually been turned outwards – toward depicting spacious landscapes and the sounds and movement of the natural world, in jazz parallels to Aaron Copland’s American vistas. For 2020’s Data Lords double-album, Schneider enters a darker r...
