Steam: Real Time
by Derek Taylor
Reissuing a Ken Vandermark album may seem like a curious endeavor. The highly prolific reed player has only been recording professionally for roughly a decade, hardly enough time for recent portions of his catalog to go out of print. But when you consider that like many of his peers the bulk of Vandermark’s work is on small independent labels the reason behind the demise of some his titles becomes less elusive. Fortunately Atavistic has chosen to reissue this excellent date ...

by Mark Corroto
For reasons that cannot be explained, I have taken on the task of examining Jerry Lewis’ film career. Not having seen a Lewis movie for twenty-five years, I stumbled upon the original Nutty Professor late one night on cable. Jerry plays a klutz college instructor/scientist who comes upon a secret formula which transforms him into a sixties hipster, with all its jazz and fashion applications.

But that album still left me wondering where this ace drummer, composer and bandleader was going to head next. Perhaps Miller herself didn't even know, that is, until a spewing volcano in Iceland scuttled her plans for a six-week ...

Honey Ear Trio - Steampunk Serenade (Foxhaven Records, 2011) ****

Free Jazz by Stef Gijssels
By Paul Acquaro The Steampunk literary genre essentially imagines a present informed by Victorian sensibilities and driven by steam technology. Imagine though, just for a moment, another alternate present in which popular music is not shaped by lowest common denominator tastes and gobs of derivative schmear. What do you hear? For me, the top forty slots are pretty much dominated by groups like the Honey Ear Trio. The trio, sax, drum and bass, with some electronics and effects for added ...
