JJ 09/86: Ralph Towner/Gary Burton - Slide Show - Jazz Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Forty years ago, Simon Adams expected something insipid in a guitar/vibes combination but it turned out to be his rave of the month. First published in Jazz Journal September 1986 I didn’t expect to like this album at all, expecting a rather insipid blend of sugary vibraphone and frantic guitar strumming. After repeated listenings (and repeated self-inflicted thwacks around the head for being so prejudiced) I pronounce this album my rave of the month. The guitar/vibraphone partnership gels perf
JJ 08/96: The Forgotten Ones - Amancio DâSilva - Jazz Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thirty years ago, Chukwunyere Kamalu reviewed the career of guitarist Amancio D'Silva, who was involved in the 'Indo-Jazz' experiments of the 60s and 70s. First published in Jazz Journal August 1996 Amancio D’Silva is a virtuoso jazz guiÂtarist of the late sixties and a pioneer of what some would call ‘Indo-Jazz’. For others, there is only jazz with an infinite variety of expressions, of which Amancio’s is a particularly distinctive brand. Amancio is an old friend, thinner than when we last met
JJ 08/86: Quincy Jones - Jazz Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Forty years ago, Mark Gilbert noted Jones's idea that Afro-American music should grow 'naturally', and not by artificial grafting from European concert music.

Jones s

James McGowan Ensemble: Threads Of Life | Nicola Meneghini: Metropolitan Views | Shadowlands: Two Minds The discussion of this music amounts to dealing with but a percentage of a whole given that the work combines music, physical theatre and poetry. Being but a world-weary jazz hack I’m not equipped to offer informed comment on the poetry while my level of exposure to the physical theatre is limited to the images on the gatefold sleeve. But such is the depth of Mc Gowan’s individuality in terms

Read excerpt
Empirical: Like Lambs: To The Slaughter | Yvonne Rogers: The Button Jar In his note for this one Soweto Kinch highlights how he considers the long-form suite that comprises this album to be a thing of beauty and how the subject material for him deeply resonates in terms of “alienation, destruction and restoration in the post-truth age'”. I’m 65 years old and I feel quite alienated by the often clinically precise contemporary jazz this album amounts to. Accordingly it doesn’t speak much to me, bu
