Meshell Ndegeocello Reimagines Iconic Songs with Star-Studded Guests on 'Synonym' (ALBUM REVIEW) - Glide Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A sense of community drives the nearly impossible-to-categorize bassist, songwriter, singer, producer, and visionary Meshell Ndegeocello. Though she has long embraced the queer community that first gave her comfort, she has now broadened her reach into musical territories many may have presumed were beyond her grasp. In any case, in an ever- increasing trend of guest-filled projects, Synonym, a staggering collection of mostly duets, may be the most overwhelming to date. So many singers and instr
Tenor Titan Azar Lawrence Powerfully Recasts His Career Bests With Current-Day Ensemble on 'Turn the Music Up' (ALBUM REVIEW) - Glide Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jazz musicians often recast their favorite compositions or career milestones with a new ensemble, but few have the energetic intensity of 73-year-old saxophonist Azar Lawrence on Turn the Music Up. Most of us came to know Lawrence as a torchbearer of spiritual jazz via his stint with McCoy Tyner in the early 70s’. From there, Lawrence was not a shape-shifter, but had a knack for being in the right place for the right trend of the time. He worked with Miles Davis and Elvin Jones in the post-Coltr
Mary Gauthier’s ‘Reckoning’ Finds Beauty & Faith in Difficult Truths (ALBUM REVIEW) - Glide Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier knows what it’s like to be down and out. She’s lived it. This makes her an astute and credible observer of the human condition, told through stories, character sketches, and topics many would avoid. Reckoning (Soundly/Thirty Tigers) has all those, with threads of survival, faith, and resilience running through many of them. The template is Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, almost entirely rendered by Gauthier on her guitar and harmonica. (A nice break from the plethor
Kiefer Turns Jazz, Hip-Hop and L.A. Beat Culture Into Blue Note Debut Titled ‘Memory Bomb' (ALBUM REVIEW) - Glide Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We first introduced you to the latest Blue Note signee, keyboardist Kiefer, with the July 10 release, FATHERS — featuring Kiefer, bassist CARRTOONs, drummer Nate Smith, and producer Kenneth Blume. Now Kiefer Shackleford makes his solo Blue Note debut with Memory Bomb, which is hardly solo in the true sense, given Kiefer’s penchant for multiple collaborations. He presents a distinct sound, which he calls the J Dilla-derived “Over the Breaks,” that balances jazz improvisation and hip-hop. Kiefer e
Freddy Trujillo (The Delines, Richmond Fontaine) Gives Voice to Birds, Memory & Displacement on 'Ave Trujillo' (ALBUM REVIEW) - Glide Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ave Trujillo (El Cortez) is Portland-based singer-songwriter Freddy Trujillo’s fifth solo release. Trujillo is also the bassist for The Delines and Richmond Fontaine, with personnel from those bands assisting him here as on past recordings. Like his previous releases, Trujillo digs deep into his personal experiences growing up in Southern California as a Chicano, yet Trujillo presents an imaginative concept: a different bird is at the heart of every song, as one might glean from the album title.
