Rodrigo Amado The Bridge — Beyond The Margins (Trost)

Sonny Rollins named The Bridge after the Williamsburg where he practiced during a three-year long retreat from public performance that he undertook in order to secure his chops. Rodrigo Amado did not engage in any sabbatical so lengthy before he put together this quartet, but its formation still reflects the pursuit of artistic growth. The amount of experience around him is so formidable that just dropping their names — Alexander Von Schlippenbach, Gerry Hemingway, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten — speaks volumes. This is what someone does when, like Rollins, they don’t just think about riding the present wave of fortune. They’re in it for the long haul.

One might apply that description to the music that Schlippenbach has played with his legendary trio, or Hemingway did in his diverse partnerships with Anthony Braxton and Reggie Workman, or that Håker Flaten has in the never-ending story that adds a new chapter every time he takes a stage with Paal Nilssen-Love. It’s music that builds upon itself, applying knowledge acquired over decades of return engagements.

One might also, in a different way, apply that description to the music on this record. Recorded in concert at Pardon Tu Tu, in Warsaw, it’s a study in the practice and payoffs of building a performance on an elongated timeline. The title tracks lasts just over 40 minutes, during which the musicians declare allegiances, explore contrasting territories and build to several escalating climaxes. As remarkable as the peaks is the way the ensemble eases away from them each time, taking the pressure down so that the music never exhausts itself. The two pieces that follow are relatively brief, not quite eight minutes each, and their compactness makes them feel like gradual resolutions of that grand main act.

But this music rewards at the micro as well as macro levels. At any given moment, Håker Flaten and Hemingway can each be heard orchestrating contrasting vectors of energy that surge and shake, but never break, the performance’s rhythmic foundation. Schlippenbach interjects both professorial reminders – “don’t forget the Monk, lads” – and door-opening actions that can turn the action around in a moment. Amado remains true to his fundamentals, drawing out muscular lines and dipping into lyrical asides. But he also draws sustenance from the forces swirling around him, blowing with spectacular intensity and poised restraint, each phrase as compelling as the developmental arc it supports.

Anthony Braxton – Willisau (Quartet) 1991

USA, 1992, avant-garde jazz / modern creative Marilyn Crispell on piano, Gerry Hemingway on drums and marimba, and Mark Dresser on bass join Anthony Braxton as he takes the listener on a wild, imaginative, sometimes sinister journey with saxophone, flute, and clarinet. This is a long quadruple album, so it’s probably best not to tackle it all in one sitting. The first two discs are studio…

--GOD BLESS AMERICA—

Ramones, END OF THE CENTURY REM, Document Grateful Dead, FROM THE MARS HOTEL REM, Chronic Town Bob Dylan, HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED Bob Dylan, ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS

Too many people have misgivings about celebrating Independence Day. I get it. As for what the Republicans have done to the Supreme Court, and what this bastardized court has done to America is an evil of great magnitude. All six reactionary supreme court justices should be hanged. They deserve it. They may have created a new constitutional crisis. Still. I love America and I consider myself patriotic. That doesn’t mean I’m some flag waving, pro-war, pro-industry chauvinistic racist rube who longs for a pretense of Americana that never was. At any rate, I celebrate America:

The song of myself. Walt Whitman. Louie Armstrong. Duke Ellington. Miles Davis. Gerry Mulligan. Stan Getz. Sonny Rollins. Thelonious Monk.   Muddy Waters. Buddy Guy. John Lee Hooker. Bukka White. Howling Wolf. Johnny Winter. Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Bob Dylan. Dave Van Ronk. The Doors. Link Wray. The Velvet Underground. Sunday Morning by Wallace Stevens. The Killers by Ernest Hemingway. All the Kings Men by Robert Penn Warren. The Ramones. Lou Reed. Spirit. Blue Oyster Cult. Twisted Sister. Jimi Hendrix. Chuck Berry, Richie Valens. Sly Stone. Steve Wonder. Howl, by Allen Ginsburg The Marvelettes. Curtis Mayfield. The Chambers Brothers. The Ronnettes. Cat’s Cradle By Kurt Vonnegut. George and Ira Gershwin. Benny Goodman. The Flaming Lips. Catch 22 by Joseph Heller The Grateful Dead. Sister Sledge. Parliament. Funkadelic The Stooges. Iggy Pop. The MC5. Patti Smith. Television. The Talking Heads. Woody Guthrie.

America where shopaholics are always willing to kill.

P.S. Let's not forget Norman Lear. Matt Groening. Francis Ford Coppola. Martin Scorsese. Vince Gilligan. George Carlin. Richard Pryor. Bill Burr. Rodney Dangerfield Seinfeld. Larry David. Mel Brooks. Gene Wilder. Paul Newman. Robert Deniro. Stan Lee. Stephen King. Herman Melville. Ralph Waldo Emerson R.E.M. and Benjamin Franklin.

Brew—Heat & Between Reflections (Clean Feed)

Brew is a trio that has existed since the late 1990s, when Miya Masaoka and Reggie Workman invited Gerry Hemingway to join their duo. They gigged and recorded enough around that time to put together a debut album, Brew, but never managed to line up its official release. They kept working together, and during a visit that Hemingway made back to New York (he currently lives and teaches in Switzerland) in late 2019 they checked into Acoustic Recordings for a day to make another record. Apparently Hemingway’s robust ongoing relationship with the Portuguese Clean Feed label propped the door of opportunity open wide enough to turn one album into two, so now we can consider 20 years in the history of a band you might not even have known existed.

Before considering the merits of Brew and Between Reflections as recordings, this has to be said — what a band! The unlikeliness of its line-up — one experimental koto player, one bassist who has John Coltrane, Art Blakey, and the New York Art Quartet on his c.v., and one drummer who juggles concepts, meters and sounds in settings as diverse as a piano trio playing Billy Strayhorn tunes and a band led by Anthony Braxton — is easily forgotten once you hear the depth of their rapport. Each musician places their distinct understanding of their instrument at the service of a mercurial collective sound, yielding consistently thrilling results.

Take “Message From The Outside,” from Brew. You could say that it’s just a sustained groove, and you wouldn’t be wrong. But to hear how the sound swells as Masaoka’s strings stir sonic whirlpools within Hemingway’s constantly mutating patterns, and how Workman’s bowing slices through them without knocking a beat out of place, is to hear how much masters can do with the essentials. Or consider “One For Walt Dickerson,” on which Hemingway switches to vibes and Masaoka distorts her strings like a rock guitarist. The novelty of Masaoka’s sounds in proximity to the solemn vibe that Hemingway and Workman establish is undeniable, but what registers is the patience with which the music unfolds, and the sense of eeriness that its juxtapositions impart.

The combination of recording sessions that span twenty-one years tempts the listener to consider how the group may have changed over that time, and one can definitely hear changes in recording technology, and effects, and inclinations towards multi-instrumentalism. But what persists is how well these musicians facilitate the manifestation of an uncommon common sound.

Potsa Lotsa XL - Silk Songs for Space Dogs - saxophonist Silke Eberhard’s 10-piece band for performing her own compositions

Silke Eberhard (altosax, composition) Jürgen Kupke (clarinet) Patrick Braun (tenorsax, clarinet) Nikolaus Neuser (trumpet) Gerhard Gschlößl (trombone) Johannes Fink (cello) Taiko Saito (vibraphon) Antonis Anissegos (piano) Igor Spallati (bass) Kay Lübke (drums)

Silke Eberhard is a saxophonist, clarinetist and composer based in Berlin.

Since the mid-90s she has dedicated herself to the freer variations of jazz and improvised music. Her collaboration with Jan Roder and Kay Lübke, which began then and eventually resulted in the Silke Eberhard Trio, moves in this tradition in search of new challenges, that recently led to “The Being Inn” (the 3rd trio album, awarded the German Record Critics’ Prize, a concept album) – a cozy inn.

Her intensive occupation with the music of Eric Dolphy led to the project Potsa Lotsa, initially a wind quartet, interpreting the complete works of Dolphy. The project expanded to the Septet Potsa Lotsa Plus (plays Love Suite by Eric Dolphy) and ultimately to the tentet Potsa Lotsa XL, which so far performs solely Eberhard’s compositions.

She composes for small and large ensembles, contemporary music and jazz. In her wide-ranging work as a performer she also focuses on improvised encounters in dance, theatre and visual arts.

She works with many collective ensembles, including the duo with Ulrich Gumpert, the duo with Uwe Oberg ( + trio with Gerry Hemingway), Matsch & Schnee, I am Three …. she performs / recorded with numerous musicians of the international jazz scene such as Aki Takase, Nikolaus Neuser, David Liebman, Sandy Evans, Hannes Zerbe, Wayne Horvitz, Dave Burrell, Michael Zerang, Maggie Nicols, Joe Morris, Michael Formanek, Talibam! amo… and travelled with her music all continents except Antarctica.
