• George Crowley Quartet: Paper Universe – review

  
  — Authority:
  (Whirlwind) At first, much of this album from the young UK saxophonist George Crowley sounds more like old jazz than the cutting-edge. But, like the previous generations Julian Argüelles (a loosely similar player and composer of comparable imagination, relaxation and storytelling flair), his work sounds fresh, ...

• Wayne Krantz: Howie 61 – review

  
  — Authority:
  (Abstract Logix) New Yorks Wayne Krantz may have worked with Steely Dan, but in his own ventures hes the diametric opposite of an all-purpose session guitarist.

• Atomic: Here Comes Everybody – review

  
  — Authority:
  (Jazzland) Scandinavian quintet Atomic hurl together Ornette Coleman s free-jazz legacy, Carla Bley s ironic solemnities, Latin, postbop, circus-band cavortings and much more. Pianist Håvard Wiik and saxophonist Fredrik Ljungkvist share the composing here. The title track builds a rumbling drums groove (the ...

• Kuhn/Swallow/Baron: Wisteria – review

  
  — Authority:
  (ECM) Veteran pianist Steve Kuhn is in the same class as label-mate Keith Jarrett : a virtuoso improviser who injects new life into familiar material. Kuhns sophistication with harmony and delicacy of touch are in evidence throughout this session, shared with electric bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Joey Baron. ...
