Clunky Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 A couple: Jason Roebke Octet - High/Red/Center (Delmark) Adasiewicz, Ward, Jackson, Stein, Berman, Bishop, ReedAssif Tsahar/Mark Dresser/Gerry Hemingway - Code Re(a)d (Hopscotch) listening to the Roebke for the first time - first impressions positive. It sounds just like you'd expect this line-up to sound (which for me is fine). Respect for the past but making music that's definitely now. somewhat like Berman, Stein, Rede in fact all of them seem to have achieved on their own recordings. I'm very impressed by most everything this generation of Chicago players are putting out So am I!! The consistently high standards they achieve does present the problem of which releases amongst the many to go for. I'm hoping Larry or any other members close to the scene will alert us appropriately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xybert Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 xybert, Jass is available as a CD from the label, Yolk. I had no problem ordering from them. Thank you! The CD arrive for me yesterday and i thought i'd comment in a FWIW kind of way that this label really offers good value in terms of the physical product: a decent quality digipak for only 12 EUR including international shipping is a steal for me.

I'd add that on the first couple of listens I'm finding this an enjoyable set. For me the rhythm section seems key (unsurprising with Hollenback on board) and it's good to here Blaser 'pushed' to play with such strong rhythm. He still plays those long extended notes occasionally and plays behind the beat a fair bit. But this is the first time I've heard him open up and play 'hot' and whilst he's not Roswell Rudd (who is?) it's interesting to hear in comparison to previous discs. My initial impression is that the album sounds not disimilar to a Henri Texier date - which is a good thing indeed, in this household Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial impression is that the album sounds not disimilar to a Henri Texier date - which is a good thing indeed, in this household I'm still on early listens but i agree, an enjoyable album. One thing that i'm finding adds an interesting flavour is the apparent co-lead nature of it. It's not unusual to have different members contributing compositions in a leader/group situation, but somehow this album sounds different... it's not a hodgepodge, there's still something that unifies it and glues it all together, but yeah, interesting.

A Lark Ascending Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Just noticed this. Guy recorded Radio Rondo with the LJCO a few years back. Be interesting to hear how the version here differs. A fair number of the same musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xybert Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 The next two from Dave Rempis are available now at his website. A duo LP with Lasse Marhaug and a trio CD with Darren Johnston and Larry Ochs. His releases from the last year have been cutting a real purple patch. I haven't heard anything as good as the duo with Tim Daisy lately. I can't recommend this stuff enough. All things going according to plan i'll be getting the trio disc with Darren Johnston a bit further down the line when i have some cash, will probably order the duo disc with Daisy at the same time. Latest clean feed batch is out; i'm keen on the Revis and the new Lawnmower (feat. Jim Hobbs and Luther Gray) album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Reynolds Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Getting both of them. The first Decoy with Joe McPhee disc was as good an improv/free jazz recordings as has been released over the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had trouble locating a source but ended up getting one direct from the artist Christoph Erb is a new name to me. Anybody heard him? Lots of good people on his releases. Erb is Swiss, but spends a lot of time in Chicago. His Veto releases have always struck me as being of the "let's get some guys in studio for a few hours and just roll the tape" type of free improv w/o much forethought as to what they were going to do. They're sort of the modern free improv version of '50s blowing sessions albums -- not bad, but certainly no one's best work. Of the Veto releases I've heard the best one was Erb's album w/ Keefe with two bass clarinets and two cellos -- name of it completely escapes me at the moment.
