Guitarist Jim Hall has long been one of the most open-minded of the important stylists to emerge during the 1950s, and his harmonically advanced style remains quite modern while hinting at its foundations in bop. For this Telarc CD, Hall teams up with five major players on two numbers apiece: Guitarists Bill Frisell and Mike Stern, Joe Lovano on tenor, flugelhornist Tom Harrell, and Gil Goldstein on accordion. Bassist Scott Colley and drummer Andy Watson are on the Frisell and Lovano tracks, and part of the Harrell and Stern performances. All of the compositions but "Skylark" are Hall originals and, although they are usually a bit dry, there are some exceptions: "Uncle Ed" and "Frisell Frazzle" are a little nutty. The emphasis throughout is on interplay between the lead voices and advanced improvising. Despite his strong sidemen (Stern and Harrell fare best), Jim Hall ends up as the dominant voice on virtually every selection, making this a set his fans will enjoy. ~ Scott YanowDown Beat (2/96, p.42) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "...Hall's playing...achieves a high-water mark of musical poetry..." JazzTimes (2/96, p.77) - "...A clever, open-minded concept resulting in a stunning sonic watercolor of textures, moods and grooves..." Village Voice (1/16/96) - Ranked #11 in the Village Voice's Best Jazz Discs of '95 - "...The variety grows on you the way all the guests grew on Hall and vice versa. Not a note is wasted..."

| | Malachi Thompson Freebop Now! CD (1998)
Dialogues CD music
$14.69 Freebop Now! is designed both as a manifesto for Malachi Thompson's aesthetic principles and a 20th anniversary celebration of his Freebop Band concept. But it's a rather disjointed disc jamming together two sextet sessions with different goals, one commemorating a 1998 trip to play in Senegal featuring Billy Harper as Thompson's front-line foil, and the second centered around a science-fiction short story by Thompson with Oliver Lake replacing Harper. But "Cancerian Moon" is a 1993 track featuring Thompson's old Carter Jefferson/Joe Ford sax tandem that only muddies the waters even more. Wayne Shorter's "Black Nile" is a solid opener, while Mae Koen's voice joins the horns to give "Flight to Senegal" a Brazilian tinge ą la Flora Purim as Harper turns in a blazing tenor solo. The title track features vocal scatting and strong solos from Steve Berry on trombone and Harper over James Cammack's free-ranging bass foundation. Thompson's trumpet solo explores "'Round Midnight" using a spare, Monk-like approach to the melody over Cammack's anchor, and while "Just a Look" and "Cancerian Moon" are well-crafted and delivered pieces, they're also nothing particularly special. But the sci-fi pieces with Lake are spottier and much less cohesive. "Jammin' at the Point" is ruled by a loping Caribbean-flavored groove fueled by Hamid Drake's percussion, while "Worm Hole" leans to the free side of freebop with drummer Dana Hall ripping underneath the horn harmonies. But the brief "Ancient African Horns" ...
