It’s an unusual breed, the solo trumpet recording. Surprisingly, the music is not really for specialists (not that…

DOING THE POLKA

DOING THE POLKA
Frank Wright Quartet
Last Polka in Nancy?
Center of the World : 1973

FW, tenor sax; Bobby Few, piano; Alan Silva, bass; Muhammad Ali, drums.

What? Yeah: polka.

The title of Frank Wright’s 1973 live album is no joke and neither is “Doing the Polka.” This is a genuine free jazz polka. No wait! Keep reading — because it’s also an extraordinary track, featuring a whomping, herky-jerk groove, fearsomely dissonant soloing, and a side-splitting sense of humor.

There’s a spectacular unhinged buoyancy to this…

Jessica Fichot – Le Grenier

Jessica Fichot – 1,2,3

chanson française // folk pop jessicafichot600

French chanson tradition, Chinese folk motifs, Continental jazz and Latin notes are interwoven together into a colourful collection of songs on Jessica Fichot’s debut album. The versatility of her debut Le Chemin (2007) mirrors her multicultural and multilingual background. Often accompanied by piano and accordion, recalling the rhythms of waltz, polka and cabaret music, Jessica’s elegant songwriting evokes the images of 19th century Parisian coffeehouses and dance…

Allie Moss – Corner

folk // singer-songwriter

Some of you might have seen Allie Moss performing with the lovely Ingrid Michaelson. Her debut EP Passerby (2009) reveals Allie to be a strong and promising singer-songwriter on her own. The extremely captivating “Corner” displays Allie’s songwriting skills as well as her sweet vocals and clever phrasing, setting the tone for the rest of her EP. From bittersweet to soft and melancholic, Passerby is a solid and well-crafted collection of folk-pop songs.

Gorgeous melody…

Nels Cline – Cymbidium

ambient // electronic // guitar

Wilco fans (you know who you are) will recognize Nels Cline as that band’s lead guitarist, but he’s been doing other stuff on his own (collaborating, featuring, musicating, etc.) for a little over thirty years, now — and yet, still, his solo stuff seems to remain under-appreciated. Perhaps some of it is too experimental for a big following (and I don’t mean that as any kind of affront to Wilco…

Rachel Goodrich – Light Bulb

acoustic // shake-a-billy

A ladybug from Miami’s South Beach can play the kazoo and mandolin while singing ~ who knew!? Well I’m sure glad to have finally found out, because Rachel Goodrich presents a pleasantry unlike any other. She grew up perceiving music as a seemingly essential ingredient for life, which may be what allows her to welcome any sound-making thing into her arena; dancing and tinkering in astounding whimsy. Quirky…
