Asana 3: Peaceful Heart
 $12.79
As is the case with several albums from the Meta catalog, this one is actually a compilation drawn primarily from albums on other labels made by bassist and producer Bill Laswell and his various group-name aliases: Material, Divination, Sacred Systems, and so on. And, as is also usually the case with these compilations, you should not be misled by words like "meditation" in the title. While the music is generally quite beautiful, it is not necessarily either relaxing or soothing; on the contrary, tracks like "Devata" by Material and the reggae-flavored "Beyond the Zero" (which is credited to Laswell and features the talents of guitarist Nicky Skopelitis and drummer Karsh Kale, among others) are rumbling sonic behemoths that move with the ponderous inevitability of charging elephants and will inspire in the average person few things less than quiet relaxation. Ditto the sturdy mid-tempo groove of "Magnetic" by Beat Matrix (taken ...

The original release of Gigi's self-titled record on Palm represented a mix of restraint and brashness on the part of producer Bill Laswell. On one hand, Laswell brought in countless all-stars, such as fusion legends (and longtime collaborators) Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter -- bold additions to Ethiopian pop music, to be sure. On ...

The world of modern jazz would be a very different beast if it weren't for the emergence of John Zorn in the 1970s. Unafraid to incorporate a diverse range of styles into his music, Zorn had drawn on heavy metal, punk, classical, and a number of other influences to help drag the genre away from its traditional ...

For his second outing for the Origin label, leader/percussionist Steve Korn has made some significant changes. First and foremost, he has added a Hammond B3 organ to the instrumental mix, eliminating the need for the bass. He has also added another sax, dropping the trumpet. All of this results in a richer, fuller sound than on his initial release. But the basic underpinnings remain, playing modern-influenced music but in such a way so as not to lose contact with the listener and allowing sufficient space in the arrangements for individual members to have their say. "In Your Own Sweet Way" is a prime example of this course of action. After stating the melody, members take off down their extemporizing paths, encouraged by some striking cymbal work by Korn. Joe Doria's organ is not the blues-tinged instrument of a Wild Bill Davis, but rather the more advanced style of a Larry Young. He can be heard to excellent advantage in a contemporary mode on such cuts as "Fortunes Fool." Korn has no hesitation in shifting styles and rhythm. Joe Lovano's "Birds of Springtimes Gone By" kicks off in a modal mode before Mark Taylor's alto goes down the road of hard bop, followed by the very clean sounding, resonant guitar of Dan Heck, with the organ humming along and Korn providing drum rumbles underneath and in between the lines taken by the soloists. A very well-conceived track of progressive jazz. The traditional and favorite of boppers, "Dear Old Stockholm," is updated by the group with some enterprising performances by the sax players and Doria's swinging, probing organ. There's an impressive, hand is quicker than the eye drum break by Korn on this cut. The one objective that Korn's ...

Asana 3: Peaceful Heart
$15.05
Throughout his third album, Ben Atkins infuses his vocals with an eagerness that consistently distracts from the material. On the faster material especially, such as the title cut or the awkward, noisy "You Pulled Me Down," his nasal timbre and affected delivery sound almost like an Adam Sandler caricature. As a writer, Atkins can be more effective, though lines about tears that "run down your face like rain" and affirmations that "my love for you is so deep" suggest less command of metaphor than Steve Earle and other obvious influences consistently exhibit. References to small-town life spill through ...
