Why Not?
Mat Marucci and Doug Webb have established themselves as more than just a team: they are a dynamic duo. Or as one writer aptly said, channeling the interplay and energy of Elvin Jones and John Coltrane.
On this latest effort they bring their energy to nine tracks. Mostly originals. All accessible. All dynamic. Free Bop at its best. Recorded live.
why not? - 4 in 3 - steps to the left - another kind of mood - avenue of the americas - lifeline - variations on a theme by Verdi - three piece suit - finally dandy

Rain of LightHeinz Geisser (Drums), Shiro Onuma (Drums)Heinz Geisser (drums, percussion) & Shiro Onuma (drums, percussion)
If you’re a fan of high energy drums then this is for you. With roots in the great drum battles of the ‘50s and ‘60s, this recording presents an amazing dynamic and rhythmic drive that no doubt would amaze Baby Dodds—not to mention Big Sid, Krupa, Rich, Blakey, Max, and Elvin. The excitement of this live recording is undeniable. And to maintain this technical and emotional level over 4 cuts is remarkable—and breathtaking. 4 hands, 4 legs, 1 heart. Recorded live at Tokyo’s Pit Inn.

New BeginningsIvo Pereleman (Saxophone), Dominic Duval (Bass)Ivo Perelman (tenor saxophone) & Dominic Duval (bass)
This duo recording is perhaps Ivo Perelman’s most mature, complete, and mellow performance of his career. And to be alone on the stage with the inimitable Dominic Duval is like pairing Ruth with Gehrig. A mellow, thoughtful exposition of creative improvised music statement. One to enjoy and savor.

AlignmentPetter Frost Fadnes (Saxophone), Rus Pearson (Bass), Paul Hession (Drums), The Thin Red Line (Primary)Petter Frost Fadnes (alto saxophone) Rus Pearson (double bass) Paul Hession (drums, percussion)
Fadnes, Pearson, and Hession: not household names but, based on this release, definitely worthy of being so.
All three come out of the Leeds music scene in England. This recording is the result of many many hours of rehearsals and gigs. Free music that works off compositions and develops in natural, organic power trips. Clearly this is a trio familiar and trusting of its colleagues. There is a solid soul to this music, wonderful development, and clear respect for the listener.
