The result is uplifting spirit music to both dance to and ponder. This is a celebratory event and will appeal to a broad range of Jazz and "non-Jazz" ...

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 1122
HeliopolisGuerino Mazzola (Grand Piano), Heinz Geisser (Percussion), Mat Maneri (Violin), Scott Fields (Electric Guitar)The dynamic duo of Mazzola and Geisser bring along Mat Maneri and Scott Fields, who definitely bring a different coloring to this collaboration. But this is a cooperative of artists who know how to listen, present their individuality in concert with the whole, and are mindful of the power of statement.
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 1111
Cries and WhispersDominic Duval (Hutchins Bass), Joe McPhee (Tenor Saxophone), Mark Whitecage (Alto Saxophone), Jason Hwang (Violin), Tomas Ulrich (Violin Cello)This is a 7-part improvisation recorded at The Knit. With this quartet line-up of exempler improvisers, the odds are good that this will be dynamic and thoughtful music. The odds are right.
Catalog Number: CJR 1106
RaptureJoe McPhee (Saxophone), Jay Rosen (Drums), Dominic Duval (Bass), Rosi Hertlein (Violin)Trio X does not have guests very often, but here is Rosi Hertlein whose remarkable violin and voice bring a most exciting texture and punctuation to the music. It’s live and of the moment and lucky to be caught.
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 1097
Dominic Duval's String Ensemble - Live in ConcertJason Hwang (Violin), Tomas Ulrich (Cello), Dominic Duval (Hutchins Bass), Joe McPhee (Tenor Saxophone), Mark Whitecage (Clarinet)Dominic Duval is a monster musician and—arguably better than anyone else—has bridged the gap between notated and improvised music. Here his strong group is augmented by Joe McPhee and Mark Whitecage in a live performance at the Knitting Factory.
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 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 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.
