Fima Ephron: Hasidic Folk Song

Read "Fima Ephron: Hasidic Folk Song" reviewed by Mike Jacobs


Though it lacks many of the fascinating David Torn-produced, sonic manipulations strewn throughout Soul Machine (Tzadik, 2001), “Hasidic Folk Song" is emblematic of the ethno-electric-jazz explorations on bassist Fima Ephron's debut as a leader and a sizzler to boot. The track features Ephron's former Lost Tribe cohorts Adam Rogers and David Binney, as well as Edward Simon on keys and Jim Black on drums. ...

Nate Smith: Kinfolk 2: See The Birds

Read "Kinfolk 2: See The Birds" reviewed by Mark Corroto


If there were brick & mortar establishments called record stores today, one could imagine the challenge Nate Smith's Kinfolk projects would pose for an employee trying to file his latest releases. Those familiar with the drummer's work in the bands of Chris Potter, Dave Holland, or Alex Sipiagin might place the discs in the jazz section, but then again he's worked with the jazz/pop/soul singers José James and Norah Jones and he heads up the funk/soul band The Fearless Flyers. ...

Fima Ephron: Soul Machine

Read "Soul Machine" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Bassist Fima Ephron is well-known for his affiliation with many of the musicians who comprise New York City's fertile and generally investigative Downtown Scene. Ephron's participation with the excellent band Lost Tribe, amid recent collaborations with electric guitar hero David “Fuze" Fiuczynski, signifies only a few of his endeavors besides enjoying first call status as a session musician.

Lost Tribe: Many Lifetimes

Read "Many Lifetimes" reviewed by John W. Patterson


It is good to hear more of this phenomenal jazz unit. From their debut self-titled release in 1992 to Soulfish in 1993 it was pure ecstasy for me to try to keep up with all this band's hyper-kinetic twists and turns. They could Coltrane soothe, they could play heavy metallic fusion, they would rap to jazz, they got speed funky, and even strains of Mahavishnu Orchestra could be detected. But first and foremost Lost Tribe was avant-garde cutting edge jazz. ...
