  • Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw Crossroads
    Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw Crossroads ‘It's a breakthrough. Along with their future-oriented American colleagues of the Maria Schneider and Darcy James Argue orchestras, the JOC marks a new century in the development of the jazz big band.’ The Jazz Orchestra of the Concertgebouw is extending its limits, in more ways than one. The band found its identity in the late 1990s, with the bi-weekly concerts at the Amsterdam Bimhuis under the leadership of Henk Meutgeert. Since then the JOC has literally conquered the world, not only touring all over Europe but also playing in Latin America, South Africa, Indonesia, Japan and China. The tracks of this new CD, for instance, were premiered in the spring of 2015 at the JZ Club in Shanghai, and again performed that fall at the Shanghai and Shenzhen Concert Halls. Musically, too, the band is still evolving. The starting point was the classic 1950s idiom of Count Basie and Neal Hefti, but from the beginning, Henk Meutgeert wanted the orchestra to be challenged by guest soloists and composers from every style in jazz. To mention just a few: Chick Corea, Benny Golson, Lee Konitz, George Duke, Richard Galliano, Joe Lovano, Joe Henderson, Jimmy Heath, Han Bennink and Misha Mengelberg. With the album Crossroads the JOC takes another step forward. Conducted by Dennis Mackrel (Henk Meutgeert's American successor since November 2015) and Rob Horsting (who has been arranging for the group practically from the start), the orchestra presents nine compositions by band members Martijn van Iterson, Joris Roelofs, Ilja Reijngoud, Simon Rigter and Jorg Kaaij, and one by Rob Horsting.

  • Thumbscrew-Never Is Enough PR
    Bio information: THUMBSCREW Title: NEVER IS ENOUGH (Cuneiform Rune 478) Format: CD / VINYL (DOUBLE) / DIGITAL www.cuneiformrecords.com FILE UNDER: JAZZ How much is too much when it comes to THUMBSCREW? The All-Star Collective Trio Delivers a Decisive Answer with Their Sixth Album NEVER IS ENOUGH a Riveting Program of Originals by Tomas Fujiwara, Mary Halvorson and Michael Formanek A funny thing happened while Thumbscrew was hunkered down at City of Asylum, the Pittsburgh arts organization that has served as a creative hotbed for the collective trio via a series of residencies. Late in the summer of 2019 the immediate plan was for drummer Tomas Fujiwara, guitarist Mary Halvorson and bassist Michael Formanek to rehearse and record a disparate program of Anthony Braxton compositions they’d gleaned from his Tri-Centric Foundation archives, pieces released last year on The Anthony Braxton Project, a Cuneiform album celebrating his 75th birthday. At the same time, the triumvirate brought in a batch of original compositions that they also spent time refining and recording, resulting in Never Is Enough, a brilliant program of originals slated for release on Cuneiform. There’s a precedent for twined projects by the trio serving as fascinating foils for each other. In June 2018, Cuneiform simultaneously released an album of Thumbscrew originals, Ours, and Theirs, a disparate but cohesive session exploring music by the likes of Brazilian choro master Jacob do Bandolim, pianist Herbie Nichols, and Argentine tango master Julio de Caro. Those albums were also honed and recorded during a City of Asylum residency. While not intended as the same kind of dialogue, The Anthony Braxton Project and Never Is Enough do seem to speak eloquently (if cryptically) to each other.
