Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1209
Papajo: Simple GamePaul Hubweber (Trombone), Paul Lovens (Drums & Cymbals), John Edwards (Double Bass)Pure improvisation. These three are so conversant with the language of improvisation and their technical abilities are such that when they jump into the explorations they go right to the heart of the conversation. It's a profound trio-logue and makes for wonderful focused listening. And it's a live concert.
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1205
JCAORCH: The Same ThingDarrell Katz (Composer), Phil Scarff (Tenor Saxophone), Jim Hobbs (Alto Saxophone), Taki Masuko (Percussion), Fred Ho (Baritone Saxophone), David Harris (Trombone)The Jazz Composers Alliance Orchestra remains one of the finest creative jazz orchestras in North America. This time out Fred Ho guests and the band pays tribute to Ray Charles and Willie Dixon as part of a program of six Darrell Katz originals and the words of Paula Tatarunis whose provocative commentary complements the music on three cuts. In times when people seem reluctant to take stands on important issues, this release is a breath of badly needed fresh air. Hip, thought-provoking, and outstanding music from this powerful Jazz orchestra.

Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1179
For Sale: Five Million CashDavid Haney (Piano), Julian Priester (Trombone)Here is a collaboration that, for a number of years, has been active‚and it shows. There is an intuitive interplay between these two as they present a live recording of 10 unhurried improvisations in a moving display of statement, tension, and space, all combining to make beautiful music sure to calm and inspire deeply.
Catalog Number: CJR Records 1176
WellSprings SuiteHarri Sjostrom (Soprano), Philipp Wachsmann (Violin/Viola/Electronics), Paul Rutherford (Trombone), Teppo Hauta-aho (Double Bass), Paul Lovens (Drums/Cymbals/Singing Saw)It may get lost in the shuffle, but we think this is a classic and a brilliant example of extemporaneous music exposition at its apex. This is just a brilliant exposé of the artistry of 5 supreme improvisers who combine to make so much more that the total of their considerable sums. Recorded live in Prague, we are indeed fortunate for the recorded document. Give this some dedicated listening and be inspired by its brilliance.
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.

In, Thru, and OutHiro Honshuku (Flute), Jim Hobbs (Alto Saxophone), Jeff Hudgins (Alto Saxophone), Phil Scarff (Tenor Saxophone), Hans Indigo (Baritone Saxophone), Mike Peipman (Trumpet), Keiichi Hashimoto (Trumpet), Jim Mosher (French Horn), Bob Pilkington (Trombone), David Harris (Trombone), Jim Gray (Tuba), Rebecca Shrimpton (Voice), Art Bailey (Piano), Norm Zocher (Guitar), Rick McLaughlin (Acoustic Bass), Rich Greenblatt (Vibraphone), Harvey Wirht (Drums), Taki Masuko (Percussion), Darrell Katz (Composer), Laura Andel (Composer), Warren Senders (Composer)The Jazz Composers Alliance Orchestra outdoes itself on this release, creating large music carefully detailed and with climaxes worthy of the talents of this 18-piece ensemble. 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 1139
Particle Data GroupSteve Swell (Trombone), Bruce Eisenbeil (Guitar), Gregg Bendian (Vibes)Three of the most demanding musicians of the period playing some of their most challenging music. Abstract? You bet. Nonsensical? No way. Partical Data? Perhaps. But a real and rewarding whole for those who care to listen.
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 1136
Caramel Topped TerrierDavid Haney (Piano), Julian Priester (Trombone), Wilbert de Joode (Bass), Han Bennink (Drums)This offers the best of the early documentation of David Haney’s work. Haney is an original whose handling of abstraction and line has a few roots in the unusual lineage of improvisation. Still deeply moving and refreshing in its unique approach.
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 1104
Hollywood WeddingAdam Lane (Bass), Lynn Johnston (Reeds), Brian McFadin (Tenor Saxophone), Eddie Felix (Reeds), James King (Reeds), Todd M. Simon (Trumpet), Josef Leimberg (Trumpet), Mark Chung (Violin), Art Hirahara (Piano), Scott Ray (Trombone), Wadada Leo Smith (Trumpet)Quite simply one of the more impressive recording debuts. This was Adam’s first release in any manner: leader or sideman. His recording legacy began here and subsequent events have proved it was no fluke
Catalog Number: CJR 1085
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: CJR 1071
Ocean of Love and Mercy - A Passion SuiteDale Fielder (Soprano Saxophone), Brian Swartz (Trumpet), George Bohanon (Euphonium), Dan Weinstein (Trombone), Daniel Jackson (Tenor Saxophone), Jane Getz (Piano), Bill Markus (Bass), Thomas White (Drums), Taumbu (Congas)Dale Fielder is a powerful tenor man out of the mid Coltrane school. Here he brings together an 11-part suite recorded live with a nonet conducted by him, playing music he composed and arranged. All of which is only as impressive as the music is good. This is impressive.
Catalog Number: CJR 1062
PoGressionsHerb Robertson (Cornet), Perry Robinson (Clarinet), Steve Swell (Trombone), Wilber Morris (Bass), Burton Greene (Piano), Lou Grassi (Drums)The first recording of the PoBand—this is the one that started it all. This is the original edition with Burton Greene as the guest. Universally acclaimed for subsequent CIMP recordings, the PoBand is now acknowledged as one of the premier Free Jazz units.
Catalog Number: CJR 1053
DreamlandDarrell Katz (Conductor), Julius Hemphill (Alto Saxophone), John Carlson (Trumpet), Rob Scheps (Tenor Saxophone), Bob Pilkington (Trombone), Doug Johnson (Piano), David Harris (Trombone), W. Marshall Sealy (French Horn), Douglas Yate (Alto Saxophone), Mike Peipman (Trumpet), Rick Peckham (Guitar), Diana Herold (vibraphone), Andrew D'Angelo (Alto Saxophone), John Dirac (Guitar)Darrell Katz is an enigma to those who know him. Obsessed and driven by his musical visions, he’s managed to squeeze out a handful of recordings over the years while somehow maintaining a stable group in the Jazz Composers Alliance Orchestra. If you like music that’s engaging of both mind and pulse, this is—as are all of his recordings—a feast. Anyone who has played or come in contact with this too overlooked aggregation will agree it is a distinct occurrence.
Catalog Number: CJR 1051
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.
Catalog Number: CJR Records 1049
Ernie Krivda JazzErnie Krivda (Tenor Sax), Bob Fraser (Guitar), Jeff Halsey (Bass), Gary Aprile (Bass), Roger Hines (Bass), Chris Berger (Bass), Pat Hallaran (Trombone), Pete Selvaggio (Accordion), Joe Hunter (Piano), Paul Samuels (Drums), Scott Davis (Drums), Dennis Reynolds (Trumpet), Mike Hazlett (Trumpet)

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.
