Red FeastStephen Gauci (Primary), Nels Cline (Guitar), Ken Filiano (Bass), Mike Pride (Drums)Stunning saxwork combined with fresh and forceful rhythms create a recording session which is unrelenting in its drive and invention.

Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1206
FlowKyle Aho (Primary), Jeremy Allen (Bass), Richie Barshay (Drums)Kyle Aho is a pianist worth listening to. A quirky mainstreamer, he utilizes the mainstream-based technique and impregnates it with odd twists and turns. Respected in the music community, Kyle's earlier work (CadenceJazz 1182, CadenceJazz 1204) is almost exclusively in the company of Joel Press, and both Cadence Jazz releases have been singled out for the pianistic work. Something fresh for the ...
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1204
Untying the StandardJoel Press (Primary), Kyle Aho (Piano)Counterpoint and harmony are in nice relief on this duo recording. In the past, veteran Joel Press' recordings have garnered serious critical praise. Not one who records frequently, any release by Press is an occasion of note. Here he is joined once again by Kyle Aho's most inventive piano on a program that offers a fresh approach, primarily to standards. Stylistically there are elements from ...
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1203

Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1182
How's The Horn Treating You?Joel Press (Tenor Saxophone), Kyle Aho (Piano), Jeremy Allen (Bass), Richie Barshay (Drums)Joel Press is a rarely recorded veteran of the creative music scene. Even so, he is equal to the best. Here he deconstructs a Lestorian nuance combined with a Websterian matter-of-fact-ness. Joel Press is an absolute master of the emotive understatement. He joins the Kyle Aho trio (Press has previously worked in duo with Aho), a group quite solid in its own right. Reflective and evocative.
Catalog Number: CJR Records 1174
slammin' the infiniteSteve Swell (trombone/composition), sabir mateen (tenor/alto/flute/clarinet/alto clarinet), matthew heyner (Bass), klaus kugel (Drums)Steve Swell has been coming on strong in the past few years with a solid body of recordings, national, and international tours and now yet another solid recorded concept. It's power on power with this international 4tet and, as Gerald Schwartz writes, "Slammin' the Infinite will remain a scale by which to measure.

Red SnapperPaul Murphy (Percussion), Jimmy Lyons (Alto Saxophone), Dewey Johnson (Trumpet), Karen Borca (Bassoon), Mary Anne Driscoll (Piano)After being one of the more active members of the New York New Jazz scene in the '70s and '80s, Paul Murphy dipped a bit below the radar. During the last of the '90s he again began to reactivate, leading and supporting on a number of select sessions. This is an historic date that is just now being issued. It is proof positive how high Paul's groups were setting the bar back when...Great music then, great music now.
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1166
Intuitive StructuresKevin Norton (Drums), Louie Belogenis (Tenor Saxophone), Tomas Ulrich (Cello), John Lindberg (Bass)In his liner notes, Kevin Norton comments on the music that "the focus continually changes, but all these changes are improvised"; a great example of improvising teamwork, concerned with total sonic result (and not "where do I get my solo in?"). These are some of the leader's most engaging compositions, for quintet that has both power and finesse.
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1160
Shadow Intersections WestPaul Murphy (Primary), Marco Eneidi (Alto Saxophone), Kash Killion (Cello), Paul Murphey (Drums)After 30 years it seems as though listeners are catching up to Paul Murphy, '70s avant-gardist/2000's musical artist. This is Paul's second Cadence date with Kash Killion (CJR 1147), without question one of the most electrifying Jazz/improvising cellists on the scene. Joining Paul & Kash is Paul's old associate, Marco Eneidi. Pithy, plucky, and rhythmic, this is improvisation of a close knit for careful listening.
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.

Included in the program is the tribute, “Hemphill,” a 4-part opus celebrating the spirit of Julius Hemphill. A big band with big concepts executed by big talents.
Catalog Number: CJR 1148
One Eyed JackJoseph Scianni (Piano), Blaise Siwula (Alto Saxophone), Ken Filiano (Bass), Hal Onserud (Bass)that Joseph Scianni is a phenomenal pianist can be shown by the first 5 records he has made over his 73 years. "One-Eyed Jack" is his 6th recording and has him in solo, duo, and trio settings with Blaise Siwula and Ken Filiano over a program of originals and standards. Both lyrical and demanding, this is music to engage both the mind and heart and gives us the added bonus of Siwula, Onserud, and Filiano: creative masters equal to the task.
Catalog Number: CJR 1147
EnarrePaul Murphy (Drums), Joel Futterman (Piano), Kash Killion (Cello)After too many years of relative obscurity, Paul Murphy is beginning to re-emerge as a profound voice in new music.

This is the beginning of an association between Paul Murphy's uncompromised music and Cadence/CIMP Records with more extraordinary developments to come.

OWEScott Rosenberg (Tenor Saxophone), Tim Daisy (Drums), Kyle Hernandez (Contrabass), Todd Margasak (Cornet)The post Hard Bop aesthetic is the tradition Scott Rosenberg’s Red Band references. Deceptively simple composition full of complexities and notable solo work.

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 1112
FaithFred Hess (Tenor Saxophone), Glenn Nitta (Soprano Saxophone), Kent McLagan (Bass), Ron Miles (Trumpet), Mark Harris (Alto Saxophone), Tim Sullivan (Drums)You don’t have to go to the major jazz centers to find engaging music.

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.

Bottoms OutScott Miller (Composer), Joe Fonda (Bass), Kevin Norton (Drums), Michael J. Stevens (Piano), Mark Whitecage (Alto Saxophone), David Bindman (Clarinet), David Schumacher (Baritone Saxophone), Robert DeBellis (Baritone Saxophone), Sam Furnace (Baritone Saxophone), Steve Swell (Trombone), Jim Leff (Trombone)Scott Miller and Joe Fonda brought together this potent ensemble, sort of a musicians’ workshop with, “A premise of the group that, in our music, there is an equal assertion of written composition and improvisation: The writing and the improvising are continuous and simultaneous throughout.” And “Though every member of Bottoms Out is a formidable soloist, the band is ultimately about a sense of ensemble.” The ensemble existed for a couple of years and was obviously an engaging unit, as witnessed by this sole issued document.
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1082
The Twilight of TimeKen Simmon (Primary), Vattel Cherry (Primary), David Pleasant (Primary)Ken Simon is musically and personally a strong individual personality. This is pure Simon— outstanding and regretfully one of the few recordings this East Coast powerhouse has made.
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 1068
DetailJohn Stevens (Percussion), Frode Gjerstad (Alto Saxophone), Kent Carter (Bass)Frode is arguably Scandinavia’s finest free jazz saxman. This was the last of the much heralded group, detail (John Stevens died four months later) and the first of a number of Frode’s recordings. As the liners attest, this is playing “with a world class elegance.”
Catalog Number: CJR 1060
Is Waiting For YouMichael Pagan (Piano), Michael Brothers (Drums), Ed Fedewa (Bass), Ken Morgan (Tenor Saxophone), Rick Holland (Trumpet)If you are looking for a lovely, tasteful, and uncompromised but highly accessible Bop document, this is it.
