Magical Listening Hour Live at The South Street SeaportSteve Swell (Primary), Louie Belogenis (Saxophone), Michael Attias (Saxophone), Nate Wooley (Trumpet)Steve Swell has authored a number of sessions and groups but nothing quite like this. Recorded live in New York City's Space Gallery, this continuous 70-minute performance is calming yet tension-filled. Utilizing a carefully controlled minimalist technique, the "four-play" develops a cumulative movement and rhythm impressive in its technique and punch—sort of a post Bop body & soul quartet. ...

ForwardBrian Landrus (Saxophone), George Garzone (Saxophone), Allan Chase (Saxophone), Jason Palmer (Trumpet), Michael Cain (Piano), John Lockwood (Bass), Rakalam Bob Moses (Drums), Rupac Mantilla (Percussion)There's a new baritone sax voice in town–Brian Landrus, who impresses also on bass clarinet, alto flute, and as a composer of the majority of this program's compositions. Joining him are a few veterans including George Garzone, John Lockwood, Allan Chase, and Bob Moses; each known not only by his past body of work but also for the select company each chooses to keep.

BuffaloAdam Lane (Bass), Vinny Golia (Tenor Saxophone), Paul Smoker (Trumpet), Vijay Anderson (Drums)In February 2005, Adam Lane's Trio recorded two releases for the CIMP label (#s 325 and 335), collectively and individually still considered to be among the participants' finest work.
After those CIMP sessions, the trio concluded its tour with a performance in Buffalo, NY. At that time they were joined by Paul Smoker and here are the results. It doesn't get better than this.
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1188
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 1178
GenesisMat Marucci (Drums), Markus Burger (Piano), John Tchicai (Tenor Saxophone), Doug Webb (Tenor Saxophone), Adam Lane (Bass), Steve Gundhi (Alto Saxophone), Tony Passarell (Baritone Saxophone), Steve Roach (Trumpet), John Allen (Percussion), Fred Randolph (Bass)Mat Marucci and Markus Burger began collaborating in 2002. Their concepts are wide and full as this varied, but whole, work proves. Solid playing and complete compositions manage to make the 11 parts of the CD hang together as a satisfying complete suite.
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1167
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 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: Cadence Jazz Records 1155
Duocity in Brass and WoodPaul Smoker (Trumpet), Dominc Duval (Double Bass), Ed Schuller (Double Bass)Paul Smoker is a creative improvising trumpeter without compare. Passionate, humorous, and quirky, he is a trumpeter’s trumpeter. This specially-priced 2 CD set simply pairs him in live duo settings with 2 different bassists: Ed Schuller and Dominic Duval. That should just about convince any fan of creative improvising music of its value, and this is a real value.
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 1153
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 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 1133
Full Throttle OrchestraVijay Anderson (Drums), Aaron Bennett (Tenor Saxophones), Myles Boisen (Electric Guitar), Jeff Chan (Tenor Saxophone), John Finkbeiner (Electric Guitar), Darren Johnston (Trumpet), Adam Lane (Bass)This is the follow-up to Adam’s amazing recording debut on Cadence Jazz 1104, Hollywood Wedding. Today many have come to expect brilliance from Mr. Lane, but, after listening to the first two Cadence recordings, obviously it was all in place by the end of the 1990s.
Catalog Number: CJR 1131
And Now I Can See Crows Mating in the MistPam Purvis (Voice), Wilber Morris (Acoustic Bass), Denis Charles (Drums), Bob Ackerman (Flute), Herb Robertson (Trumpet)The group here was a joining of musical artists who often got together “at home” to woodshed, work out musical ideas, and play for their own pleasure. Both the late Wilber Morris and Denis Charles had the spirit of giving and music that encouraged such gatherings. In putting together this informal approach in the more formal setting for recording, Bob Ackerman invited his friend Herb Robertson (who was in town) to join “The Quartet.” Herb did and here are the results. Liner notes from Mr. Ackerman and Ms. Purvis relate the background and circumstances of the gatherings.
Catalog Number: CJR 1124
Tony's BluesBarry Wallenstein (Voice), John Hicks (Piano), Jay Leonhart (Bass), Michael Leonhart (Trumpet), Vincent Chancey (French Horn), Evan Hause (Guitar)Barry Wallenstein’s poetry is fun, thoughtful, warm, and very human. His ability to integrate his speaking voice into the musicality of the whole makes this a recording of musical poetry. Twenty-two cuts plus a 20-page book of notes and text.
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 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. Fred Hess and his Creative Music Ensemble established themselves in 1982 as devotees to music which both challenges and embraces. This remains one of their finest efforts.
Catalog Number: CJR 1107
AnahadPaul Flaherty (Alto Saxophone), Randall Colbourne (Drums), Mike Murray (Guitar), James "Chumly" Hunt (Trumpet), Richard Downs (Bass)Flaherty and Colbourne—the dynamic duo—open things up a bit and venture into quintet land. But there are no concessions. Still dynamic, structured, but totally Free Form improvisation.
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 1100
Interludes of Breath and SubstanceMatthew Goodheart (Piano), Leo Smith (Trumpet)Sometimes things are just perfect. This February 1998 session is an encounter which remains one of Matthew Goodheart and Leo Smith’s finest work. The 11 tracks make up one hour of simply brilliant musical interplay as perfectly attuned as act and shadow.
Catalog Number: CJR 1096
Positive SettingsRick Holland (Trumpet), Terry Lower (Piano), Larry Novak (Piano), Ed Fedewa (Bass), Thomas Knific (Bass), Larry Ochiltree (Drums)A follow-up to Rick Holland’s first Cadence Jazz record (#1083). This is mainstream Bop but far from formulaic, displaying a soul that is direct and honest in its delivery. Simply a lovely set of music which never panders to the saccharine.
Catalog Number: CJR 1095
Second CourseMarc Sabatella (Piano), Hugh Ragin (Trumpet), Peter Sommer (Tenor Saxophone), Roger Barnhart (Bass), Erik Turkman (Bass), Thomas Van Schoick (Drums)Every geographic region has its world-class local artists. The Rocky Mountain area has arguably four, of which Marc Sabatella is one. Unpretentious and totally musical, this endearing disc combines an eclectic mix of Marc’s originals with more familiar fare and includes a strong two minute tour de force on Offenbach’s “Can-Can.”
Catalog Number: CJR 1091
BorealisFrode Gjerstad (Tenor Saxophone), Didrik Ingvaldsen (Trumpet), Oyvind Torvund (Guitar), Oyvind Storesund (Acoustic Bass), John Lilja (Acoustic Bass), Endre Landsnes (Drums), Paal Nilssen-Love (Drums)Here’s Frode with his large group. As the liners say, “Each Frode Gjerstad date has its own concept of focus and addresses itself freshly to those terms.” So say the liners. So says the music.
Catalog Number: CJR 1089
Ikosa MuraFrode Gjerstad (Tenor Saxophone), Bobby Bradford (Trumpet), Borah Bergman (Piano), Pheeroan AkLaff (Drums)This is one of a number of encounters Frode Gjerstad has had with Bobby Bradford. It’s a combination that suggests muscle and thought. And, with Borah Bergman and Pheeroan Aklaff along, the power to pull off strong music.
Catalog Number: CJR 1080
Suite EmpathyWilber Morris (Double Bass), Ehran Elisha (Drums), Roy Campbell (Trumpet)Ehran Elisha keeps his group together for years but remains elusive “on the scene.” He works big ideas in his music and isn’t afraid to go out all the time, admirably making the whole greater than the sum of its parts. This music, though just a powerful trio, is both driving and orchestral and impressed us so much we did a number of recordings with his groups for CIMP.
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 1065
Falling In Flat SpaceHerb Robertson (Trumpet), Dominic Duval (Bass), Jay Rosen (Drums)We were so impressed by this grouping we immediately decided to record it on CIMP (#110). Out of nothing much, this is what happens when you deal with improvisers who also listen. Sit back and enjoy the creations.
Catalog Number: Cadence Jazz Records 1063
Covert ChoreographyMichael Bisio (Bass), Eyvind Kang (Violin), Ed Pias (Drums), Bob Nell (Piano), Rob Blakeslee (Trumpet)Michael Bisio has been well documented by Cadence Jazz Records and CIMP. This short- lived group may have been just too powerful to be popular. This is masterful and interactive stuff and if you think you’re familiar with Mr. Kang’s playing, think again— you’ve never heard him like this.
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. Jazz that just seems so right without insulting jazz intelligence.
Catalog Number: CJR 1059
Emerging From The EarthBobby Zankel (Alto Saxophone), Stan Slotter (Trumpet), Tyrone Brown (Bass), John Blake (Violin), Uri Caine (Piano), Ralph Peterson, Jr. (Drums), Ron Howerton (Percussion)Bobby’s follow-up to CJR 1050: full of the passionate playing from this alto sax stylist along with his engaging originals, all wrapped up in another all-star group.
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 1054
Fat OnionsPaul Flaherty (Alto Saxophone), James "Chumly" Hunt (Trumpet), Mike Murray (Guitar), Randall Colbourne (Drums), Stephen Scholz (Violin), Richard Downs (Bass)Cadence Jazz was the first label to begin documenting the Paul Flaherty and Randy Colbourne partnership (1988/CJR 1042). This 1993 recording finds the pair in the unusual setting of a sextet. But fear not, there is no reining in of their explosive free form designs and yet they remain in concert with the group. Free Jazz with power and no apology.
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 1050
Seeking SpiritBobby Zankel (Alto Saxophone), Odean Pope (Tenor Saxophone), Johnny Coles (Trumpet), Ray Wright (Baritone Saxophone), Tyrone Brown (Bass), Stan Slotter (Trumpet), Sumi Tonooka (Piano), Craig McIver (Drums), Uri Caine (Piano), David Gibson (Drums)A distinctive orchestrater, composer, and instrumentalist Bobby Zankel over the years has remained a Philadelphia musicians’ musician. This is his debut recording and it remains one of his finest. If you’re not familiar with this notable musician’s work, start here and we think you’ll be impressed enough to move through other documents of his body of work
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)
Catalog Number: CJR 1029
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.
Catalog Number: CJR 1019
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.
