    Henry Lowther and the London Jazz Orchestra: Primetime | Mathias Heise & Pelle von Bülow: Repertoire | Alex Roitman Tango Ensemble: La Cocina De Tango It seems remarkable that Henry Lowther has made so few albums under his own name since Child Song (1970) and so many with other people. His contributions have always been full and noticeable. Since his early days with John Mayall, Keef Hartley (including Woodstock), Manfred Mann, Mike Westbrook and John Dankworth, he’s been ever-present, goi

    Forty years ago, Mark Gilbert heard swing, reggae, country & western and more adapted to the requirements of the sensitive German label, ECM. First published in Jazz Journal August 1986 This is the debut album of a band nominally led, or at least or­ganised, by bassist Marc John­son. Since Christmas 1983, when I witnessed what was, I believe, their first public appearance – at a small restaurant in midtown Manhattan – John Abercrombie’s place has been taken by Bill Frisell.

    Joshua Breakstone Quartet: Wonderful! | Art Pepper: The Return Of Art Pepper | Ernest Ranglin: The Indispensable, 1958-1962 In his brief sleeve notes, Joshua Breakstone regrets not being able to advise his younger self about phrasing and use of space as well as listening to and working more closely with his fellow musicians. He was to address these elements subsequently but hearing this early album by him, none of these are obvious. What we have is a balanced piece of work. The material is a mix
