'REVIEW: Bobby Avey, 'Inhuman Wilderness,' Innervoice Jazz

For his fifth CD, pianist/composer Bobby Avey has turned his attention to societal ills and injustices, in other words, 'Inhuman Wilderness,' as he calls it. It's only the second release for the new Innervoice Jazz label, run by pianist Marc Copland out of New York City, and it's a brave avant-accessible work.

  • 'REVIEW: Christian Weidner, 'Every Hour of the Light and Dark,' Pirouet Records

    Christian Weidner's alto saxophone flies over the piano/bass/drums rhythm section of his groundbreaking quartet on 'Every Hour of the Light and Dark' (Pirouet Records). It's a heady concoction whose circuitous road is so delicious that while the destination remains unknown, it's the getting there that's all the fun.

  • 'REVIEW: Mats Eilertsen, 'Rubicon,' ECM Records

    There's a subtle sophistication at work on Mats Eilertsen's ECM 'Rubicon' debut. His bass has already graced 12 previous ECM sessions of other artists as produced by Manfred Eicher, but now, just like Julius Caesar in 49 B.C., whose army crossed the Rubicon River knowing it was too late to turn back, Mats has laid the gauntlet down. His septet is rather wondrous. And there's no looking back.
