This series of sometimes stunningly beautiful, occasionally revelatory improvisations finds the avant-garde reedsman Elton Dean and the guitarist Mark Hewins in perfect sync, as Dean solos lyrically over the musical foundation of Hewins's atmospheric synthesized guitar. Recorded in the early 1990s, the duo spans electronic, jazz and ambient genres, in a free-form yet never formless set.
This CD presents an improvised duo setting with guitarist Mark Hewins, a longtime partner with a remarkable talent for atmospheric accompaniment. The music on this release focus-es on the most lyrical' dimension of Dean's saxophone playing, with melodic
Recorded at the London Jazz Cafe, London, England in 1992.
Personnel: Elton Dean (saxophone); Mark Hewins (guitar).
The Wire (2/02, p.51) - "...Hewin's synth guitar creates an environment laden with artifice, but the gamble paid off. Dean pursues his lyrical inclinations to the verge of contemplative blowing....lovely moments occur regularly throughout the 3 pieces..."
JazzTimes (4/2002, p.84) - "...Hewins crafts continually morphing soundscapres, drones and largely static harmonic patterns....pacific and new agey enough to double as mediation music..." Elton Dean Bar Torque Songs Bar Torque Review

Vijay Iyer has captured the ears of critics and listeners like only a handful of the most elite jazz pianists since McCoy Tyner, Cecil Taylor, or Misha Mengelberg initially burst onto the scene. There's no other single player who sounds even remotely like him, few who can match his inventive and whimsical sense of play or seriousness, and absolutely nobody who presents the stunning, highly intelligent music he dishes out. With HISTORICTY, he touches on many different levels of acumen, influenced ...

As British bands like Yes, ELP, and Genesis extended the borders of rock & roll, John McLaughlin had seized the opportunity to do the same with jazz. The first stars of the jazz/rock fusion camp, the Mahavishnu Orchestra played sellout concerts, sold records in quantities previously unheard of by jazz musicians, and captured a crossover audience of forward-looking jazz devotees and ...

| | Max Roach Deeds, Not Words CD (1958)
Bar Torque
$8.69
Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1987, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
Master jazz drummer Max Roach pretty much put the "be" in bebop, playing with practically every major figure in jazz, from Bird to Dizzy to Miles to Mingus and more. It's a tribute to his own musical vision that his numerous solo recordings are just as worthy as his famous sessions. Roach's first solo date for Riverside, 1958's DEEDS, NOT WORDS, nevertheless finds the drumming doyen in grand company. Listening to the fleet-fingered musical dialogue between Roach and saxophonist George Coleman on "It's You or No One," or the way trumpet demon Booker Little blows the roof off of "Jodie's Cha-Cha," it's immediately clear that a major part of Roach's genius lies in surrounding himself with jazz giants who can bend notes, beats, ...
| | Alejandro Escovedo Bourbonitis Blues CD (1999)
Bar Torque
$11.39 
Alejandro Escovedo has an impressive resume: he was a member of one of the first San Francisco punk bands, the Nuns, and was in one of the early country-punk bands, Rank & File, as well as the under-rated Austin roots-rockers the True Believers. He's related to both Pete Escovedo and Sheila E, and on his WITH THESE HANDS (Rykodisc) album, his backup included Willie Nelson and Jennifer Warnes. On BOURBONITIS BLUES, he mixes evocative originals ("I Was Drunk," "Sacramento & Polk") with well-chosen and unusual covers (John Cale's "Amsterdam," a tantalizingly slow take on the Gun Club's "Sex Beat," Ian Hunter's "Irene Wilde") to show his scope as an artist.
Escovedo shows a rare grasp of rock & roll history, and the blues and country roots it sprang from. Moreover, he doesn't merely rehash/recycle the past, he builds on it. His originals are thoughtful and intensely personal but never self-absorbed, and they rock with a controlled passion that recalls the Rolling Stones in their early 1970s prime. Alejandro Escovedo proves that late-night raunch can be put across with sensitivity (the instrumentation includes cello and pedal steel guitar) and quiet, introspective songs can have a sharp, hidden ...
