PandemoniumBarry Wallenstien (Primary), John Hicks (Piano), Curtis Lundy (Bass), Vincent Chancey (French Horn), Daniel Carter (Saxophone), Serge Pesce (Guitar), Barry Wallenstein (Vocals)Barry Wallenstein is both a poet (he wrote the text on these fifteen cuts), a voice (his is the distinctive and warm voice heard here), and a player (dig how his texts, delivery, and coloring integrate within the septet). This is the second issue on Cadence Jazz Records for this much-honored poet whose other recorded collaborations over the past 30 years have included Stanley Cowell, Charles Tyler, and Arthur Blythe. Barry's poetry speaks warmly of hard things and over the course of the program conveys a range of emotions, all very human, all very believable. A 20-page booklet with full text accompanies this exceptional work. Easily accessible to both those who appreciate unhackneyed prose and poetry as well as those who appreciate uncompromised improvised music.
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1191
Live at KaldisRon Enyard (Primary), Paula Owen (Vocals), Cal Collins (Guitar), Ed Felson (Bass)This is only Paula Owen's fourth release and once again she is in the presence of Indy Jazz guru/mentor, Ron Enyard. An historical date from 1995, it features the late guitarist, Cal Collins; Ed Felson on bass completes the quartet. Fans of great Jazz singers know Paula and treasure the few recordings she has made. Any new Paula Owen release is an event to be enjoyed. This is an unexpected ...

Don't Count On GloryLindsey Horner (Bass), Jeff Berman (Percussion), Uri Caine (Piano), Jim DiSpirito (Percussion), Marty Ehrlich (Saxophone), Colter Harper (Guitar), Neal Kirkwood (Piano), Brian Lynch (Trumpet), Pete McCann (Guitar), Allison Miller (Drums), Ben Opie (Saxophone), Bobby Previte (Drums), Lou tellute (Saxophone), Eric Susoeff (Guitar), Dave Throckmorton (Drums), Lieven Venken (Drums)Lindsey Horner is best known as a bassist (though his reeds make an appearance on this date) who's been one of the players in the thick of the post '70s New York improvising scene. But for those who have followed his own releases, it's clear that his is a rather distinct color from most of his colleagues. This recording was a few years in the making, but as Bob Rusch says in the program notes, "...this is the logical point Lindsey’s music has been moving toward...and is his most idiomatically realized to date." Emotional and intellectual depth unite here, making good music great music.
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1183
Beyond Is And Is NotChris Kelsey (Soprano Saxophone)The return of Chris Kelsey after a short hiatus continues to bear tasty and distinct fruit. Kelsey is one of the most distinct soprano saxists on the scene, a composer of substance and a very intense player. After two brilliant recent CIMP outings, Chris turns to Jazz standards and goes solo. It's a gutsy statement by someone who takes recording and his artistry seriously. This will set a standard for the future.
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1169
All The NotesCecil Taylor (Piano), Dominic Duval (Bass), Jackson Krall (Drums)All the notes here are in the music, not in the liners. This is the concert that Minnesotans have been speaking about since 2000. This massive 3 part improvisations featuring Mr. Taylor with his trio of the past 10 years finds them at the top of their game. An important document and a memorable night.
Improvisation I - Improvisation II - Improvisation III.

You Must Believe In SwingMarc Pompe (Vocals), Joey Defrancesco (Hammond B-3), Henry Johnson (Guitar), Byron Landham (Drums), Curt Warren (Guitar), Judy Roberts (Piano)Marc Pompe is a distinct and memorable singer. he's been at it for over 50 years, but had scarce documentation. More concerned with the art than the commerce, Mr. Pompe, Cadence Records, and CIMP Records have set about to rectify the situation with a series of 3 recordings to be released over the next handful of months.
You Must Believe in Swing is simply a great recording. And if you're a fan of the art of the Jazz singer - give this a try. With 2 more releases to follow, you know we stand behind Marc Pompe's artistry.
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1159
This NowSteve Swell (Trombone), Jemeel Moondoc (Alto Saxophone), Matt Lavelle (Trumpet), Cooper Moore (Piano), Wilber Morris (Bass), Kevin Norton (Drums)Steve Swell’s Unified Theory of Sound is a case of strength on strength. The force of Steve’s trombone styling and compositions is beautifully complemented and integrated by this exceptional grouping. POWerful music, recorded live in New York City. A generous helping of listening substance.
Catalog Number: CJR 1154
The Music of Ernie KrivdaErnie Krivda (Tenor Saxophone), Dominick Farinacci (Trumpet), Bob Fraser (Guitar), Steve Richko (Piano), Demetrius Steinmetz (Bass), Carmen Intorre (Drums)This is the beginning of a renewed association between Ernie Krivda and CIMP/Cadence Jazz. This date presents his new sextet, featuring the passionate work of the young trumpeter, Dominic Farinacci.
Ernie Krivda remains one of the most distinctive sax stylists in Jazz. If you know his work then you know this to be a fact. If not, well, here is a chance to test the point. And with this recording you get an all-Krivda program that's distinctive as well. Few people are neutral about the Krivda style; bold statements will foster such discordance.
Catalog Number: CJR 1151
Live in ParisJemeel Moondoc (Saxophone), Cody Moffett (Drums), William Parker (Bass), Roy Campbell, Jr. (Trumpet), Zane Massey (Tenor Saxophone)Finally - Jemeel in a small group with another saxman. If you expect the possiblity of excellence from Mr. Moondoc (and you know that Cadence issues only the finest, relative to an artist's work) then those expectations not only will be high for this live date but they also will be more than adequately met.
Catalog Number: CJR 1137
In The SunlightBob Magnuson (Soprano Saxophone), Tom DeSteno (Drums), Cameron Brown (Bass), Jason Hwang (Violin), Rolf Sturm (Guitar), Ed Neumeister (Trombone), Scott Healy (Piano), Gary Guzio (Trumpet), Eric Goletz (Trombone)This is an odd one for Cadence Jazz and the Magnuson-Desteno duo. Electronics, synthesizers, even a suggestion of fusion. But musically it has integrity and all the parts hang together (tracks range from under a minute to over 17 minutes) to produce a haunting whole that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
Catalog Number: CJR 1118
CongenialityMitch Seidman (Guitar), Charlie Kohlhase (Alto Saxophone), Jeff Galindo (Trombone)What an odd set of instruments for a trio: guitar, sax, and trombone. Odd, but the musicality is undeniable as they ramble through 9 tracks of material by Monk, Hemphill, Mangelsdorff, Basie, and originals from Galindo and Kohlhase. And it all seems so natural that one can ignore the challenge if one so chooses. But this will delight those who like to be engaged by music.
Catalog Number: CJR 1117
Knudstock 2000Herb Robertson (Cornet), Frank Grasso (Piccolo Trumpet), Steve Swell (Trombone), Bob Hovey (Trombone), Bob Ackerman (Flute), Knud Jensen (Tenor Saxophone), Jim Hart (Guitar), Hans Tammen (Guitar), Chris Lough (Contrabass), Tom Sayek (Drums), Herb Fisher (Drums)This was one of the many informal jams a group of improvisers engaged in at Knud’s place in New Jersey. A musician’s jam for musicians. This one was recorded and its dynamic unpretentious self is here as presented. Included are some delightful background notes by the artists themselves.
Catalog Number: CJR 1116
Just PeaceRosella Clemmons Washington (Vocals), Bill Meek, Jr. (Keyboards), Dawn Crist (Keyboards), Tyrone Brown (Bass), Dave Brown (Drums), Grover Washington, Jr. (Tenor Saxophone), John Blake (Violin), Cecil Bridgewater (Trumpet)As the liners detail this was an imperfect date in that, shall we say, the recording mechanics were skewed and flawed. But what is evident is the exceptional voice of Rosella Washington in her debut release. Fortunately some things can be “redone,” as was the case here due to the unfortunate death of Grover Washington. But even so this is a phenomenal record of memorable music unforgettably delivered by Ms. Washington. A true case of perfect imperfection.
Catalog Number: CJR 1098
Cecil Taylor Quartet - Qu'a Yuba: Live at the Iridium Vol. 2Cecil Taylor (Piano), Harri Sjostrom (Soprano Saxophone), Dominic Duval (Bass), Jackson Krall (Drums)The second volume documenting this rarely documented Cecil Taylor group live at The Iridium. Volume 1 is Cadence Jazz Records 1092.
Catalog Number: CJR 1094
The Free Form Improvisation EnsembleBurton Greene (Piano), Gary William Friedman (Alto Saxophone), Jon Winter (Flutes), Alan Silva (String Bass), Clarence Walker (Percussion)An artifact from the October Revolution days. This is music, thought lost, that captures the purity and innocence of those early and exciting days of the post Bop revolution. Extensive liner notes/dialogue from most of the participants give the background and perspective of music that needs no qualifier.
Catalog Number: CJR 1092
Qu'a: Live at the Irridium Vol. 1Cecil Taylor (Piano), Harri Sjostrom (Soprano Saxophone), Dominic Duval (Bass), Jackson Krall (Drums)The first of a two part release documenting a night at The Iridium. Aside from being a complete and powerful statement, this is one of the few recordings documenting this edition of Mr. Taylor’s group
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1088
Sweet DreamsAmanda Pucci Jhones (Primary), Kenny Barron (Primary), Hilliard Greene (Primary), Dwayne "Cook" Braodnax (Primary), Casey Benjamin (Primary), Karl Martin Almquist (Primary), Morten Faerestrand (Primary), Kenyatta Beasley (Primary)Cadence and CIMP don’t record vocalists often, but, when we do, you can bet they are distinctive. This was Pucci Amanda Jhones’ first recording and directly led to a CIMP session (#170). It’s a remarkably strong and distinctive debut.
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1084
In ConcertNoah Howard (Saxophone), Bobby Few (Piano), James Lewis (Bass), Calyer Duncan (Drums)One of the original cast of post Bop characters, here in concert at the Bimhuis with his longtime musical associate, the mesmerizing Bobby Few. Sit back and enjoy the unfolding.

Orkestra Kith 'n KinHans Reichel (Guitar), Thomas Borgmann (Soprano Saxophone), Lol Coxhill (Soprano Saxophone), Erik Balke (Sopraino Saxophone), Dietmar Diesner (Soprano Saxophone), Jonas Akerblom (Bass Saxophone), Martin Mayes (French Horn), Pat Thomas (Piano), Christoph Winckel (Bass), Mark Sanders (Drums)Wow. Big group, powerful personalities, led by the powerhouse, Mr. Borgmann. Perhaps it’s led by “Turning Loose”—contained within the structure of this extended work is fiery unrestrained playing. The CD concludes with some prime Lol Coxhill humor creations.
Catalog Number: CJR 1078
Driving Music: A Great Concert Vol. 2Charles Wilson (Piano), Ron Enyard (Drums), Lou Lausche (Bass), Al Kiger (Flugelhorn), Paul Plummer (Tenor Saxophone)Mainstream madness. This is living Bop by some legendary artists who have retreated from the big cities but whose chops are second to none and whose spirits are unjaded. Included in this set (see 1075 for vol. 1) are some breathtaking and extended studio cuts featuring the remarkable Charlie Wilson (aka Eddie Charles), another legend who should be a “Jazzhold” name.

Catalog Number: CJR 1073
Inside the SphereMick Rossi (Piano), Kermit Driscoll (Double Bass), Charles Descarfino (Drums)Edgy, tentative, and freshly inventive, this never-before-group came together on a hunch by the leader and the result is, in his own words, “a documentation of a couple of days of hazardously quixotic fun.” Sometimes hunches pay off. This one definitely did.
Catalog Number: CJR 1057
All Stories Are TrueDavid White (Guitar), Tim Armacost (Tenor Saxophone), Valery Ponomarev (Trumpet), Calvin Hill (Bass), Victor Jones (Drums)This was David White’s leadership debut. He later recorded a couple for CIMP records (#117, #168) before relocating to the Pacific Northwest. This recording shows that even at this early point David’s insistent arrangement style was intact. Tim Armacost and Valery Ponomarev take the solo honors but it’s those White musical designs that stick in your head.
Catalog Number: CJR 1056
So Nice To Meet YouErnie Krivda (Saxophone), Joe Hunter (Piano), Mark Gondor (Drums), Paula Owen (Vocals), Bill Plavan (Bass), Val Kent (Drums), Chris Berger (Bass)It’s rare to hear Ernie Krivda not playing some of his fine originals but here he keeps it standard for the most part except for a couple of Paula Owen originals. Paula Owen is simply one of the best—as her prior Cadence Jazz recordings will attest. This is an interesting pairing and fans of these two distinct stylists will be intrigued by the meshing of their musical personas.
Catalog Number: CJR 1052
Home On The RangeChuck Florence (Tenor Saxophone), Jaki Byard (Piano), Alan Dawson (Percussion), Clipper Anderson (Bass)Chuck Florence lives in Montana. In fact, his first recording (with a little known but outstanding group that included Jack Walrath, Bob Nell, and Kelly Roberts) was called U. Home on the Range is Mr. Florence’s debut as a leader and it’s a refreshing Bop outing as expansive in its approach and directness as the Big Sky Country itself. Special note to the featured work of Jaki Byard who, though not the leader, lays down some of his most classic work.

InnocenceJoe Gallivan (Drums), Marcio Mattos (Bass), Elton Dean (Alto Saxello), Evan Parker (Soprano), Neil Metcalf (Flute), Guy Barker (Trumpet), Gerard Presencer (Trumpet), Claude Deppa (Trumpet), Jim Dvorak (Trumpet), Paul Rutherford (Trombone), Ashley Slater (Bass Trombone)Big works by a big group. This remains our favorite Joe Gallivan recording in a career that was first documented back in 1961. Unfortunately this astounding assemblage of players was documented on only one recording, but the extended tracks offer up just the kind of intriguing power and movement that you might hope for from some of Europe’s finest improvisers. Passionate music.

Live At The Jazz Cultural TheatreAbdul Zahir Batin (Drums), Bobby Watson (Alto Saxophone), Cecil Bridgewater (Trumpet), Robin Eubanks (Trombone), John Hicks (Piano), Curtis Lundy (Bass)Called the Notorious Ensemble at the time this was recorded in 1986, this now looks like the All Star Ensemble. Mr. Batin remains an elusive and legendary N.Y.C Jazz character. This is a very live recording and captures a group of individuals as distinct as the original music played. This remains the best and most complete documentation of this artist, and a wonderful record of a memorable occasion.

The ImproviserChet Baker (Trumpet), Per Husby (Piano), Terje Venaas (Bass), Ole Jacob Hansen (Drums), Bjorn Kjellemyr (Bass), Espen Rud (Drums)This is the no bullshit Chet Baker stretching out, pure and backed by one of Norway’s most accomplished Jazz men, Per Husby. Five cuts averaging over 10 minutes each, it’s Chet at his best and that means Jazz at its best.
