kris davis infrasound-save your breath
kris davis on piano with 4 bass clarinets (Ben Goldberg, Andrew Bishop, Oscar Noriega, Joachim Badenhorst) with organ (Gary Versace), guitar (Nate Radley), drums (Jim Black)
rock influenced jazz/improv. and the rock influence doesn't sound corny(!) as it tends to. good tunes and good playing.
it also has one of my favorite song titles-The Ghost of Your Previous Fuck Up
mario pavone trio-blue dialect
mario pavone on bass matt mitchell on piano and tyshawn sorey on drums
really good free jazz piano trio that plays a lot in time but plays free time sometimes.
mary halvorson-reverse blue
mary halvorson on guitar Chris Speed on clarinet, Eivind Opsvik bass & Tomas Fujiwara drums
they all write tunes. free playing not free playing. they even have a song based on john coltrane's chords from giant steps.
mary is one of the most interesting guitar players around these days.
speaking of the bad plus they released their interpretation of stravinsky's the rite of spring. a piano trio doing an orchestral piece.
it works. i think it was last year tho.
noisereductions, ill have to check out the bad plus joshua redman
