Shadowfax paved the way for many of today's popular world music groups. Beyond their basic instrumentation of lyricon, guitar, violin, bass and drums, there was always a wondrous variety of percussion instruments, usually indigenous to the various cultures that the music attempted to imply. Their latest release is a carefully considered best-of, with three cuts from each of their four Windham Hill releases, in chronological order, and it spans their full range of styles, from fusion/electric to off-center vocal pieces (like the title cut) to cross-rhythmic multi-cultural rave-ups. Musically, Chuck Greenberg's sterling lyricon playing always seems to stand out, and the successive violinists were often brilliant as well. Guitarist G.E. Stinson contributed the more unusual compositions, and captured a comfortable niche in each song with his instrumental prowess. From all we can tell, the music of Shadowfax is going to keep "comin' around" for years to come. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats

What Goes Around: The Best Of Shadowfax
$13.59 
Not all mellow, Houston Person's tribute to the softer side of jazz has its moments based on the laid-back timbre of his soul rather than a program consisting of only ballads. The tenor sax he wields certainly reflects the tradition established by Ben Webster in its soul-drenched tone, but is not as vocally pronounced or vibrato driven. The quite capable pianist John DiMartino is the one whose more enunciated notions are harnessed, while tasteful guitar by the underrated James Chirillo ring out in acceptance of ...

| | Matt Darriau's Paradox Trio Gambit CD (2005)
What Goes Around: The Best Of Shadowfax
$14.29
Gambit moves the feet and touches the heart with its gorgeous melodies and moody, spacious arrangements, ample evidence that Matt Darriau's Paradox Trio are still around and kicking out the Balkan jams first heard on their debut disc a full decade ago. Their old Knitting Factory releases may have all gone out of print by the time the 2000s rolled around, but thanks to the Munich-based Enja label you can still experience the granddaddies of the old downtown Balkan jazz scene during the new millennium, and the recorded evidence suggests that saxophonist/clarinetist Darriau and company are as strong as ever. Darriau (who also plays a mean gaida -- a Balkan goatskin bagpipe) first cajoled Boston's Orange Then Blue big band into exploring Balkan musical forms back in the '80s. He (and others who spilled out of Boston music schools) brought the Balkan vibe south to N.Y.C. in the early '90s and was one of the very first to introduce an East-meets-West tone into the downtown jazz community. Darriau and the other members of his quartet (it's not really a trio) have been busy with many musical projects in addition to Paradox over the years (Darriau himself is probably best known as reedman for the Klezmatics), but they have found time to keep the Paradox flame burning, and music listeners are all the better for it.
On 2005's Gambit, Darriau, guitarist Brad Shepik, cellist Rufus Cappadocia, and Macedonian dumbek wonder Seido Salifoski are initially joined by Bulgarian kaval (an end-blown flute) virtuoso Theodosii Spassov, who demonstrates a deep rapport with the Paradox members. The Bulgarian is front and center in the mix and integrated so well into the band on the first four tracks recorded in Sophia during 2002 (Spassov's unison and counterpoint thematic statements and riffs with Darriau's fluid alto and Shepik's precisely ...
