“[There’s] almost nobody in Wilson’s peer group with a broader sense of jazz history, or a more natural sense of time, or a stronger signature as a bandleader, or more goodwill among his fellow players.” – Nate Chinen, JazzTimes

“Regardless of the setting, Wilson’s ardent passion can be felt every time he wisely hits a piece of his drum kit.” – Felipe Freitas, JazzTrail

[ 28th of August,2020 release on Palmetto Records: Matt Wilson Quartet – HUG! ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

release date: August 28, 2020 via Palmetto

“…a ray of sunshine from Matt Wilson.” – Nate Chinen, WBGO “Take Five”

“Between the plague and politics, 2020 seems like a good year, if you tote a pitchfork and walk on cloven hoofs. The rest of us could use some lifting up, and no one’s better suited to that job than Matt Wilson.” – Bill Meyer, DownBeat

A new Matt Wilson album isn’t so much a snapshot capturing the drummer at a particular moment in time. Rather, his recordings are more like a musical family tree, vividly illustrating the web of relationships that manifest in his music. A creative force since the 1980s, he embodies a verdant and radically unbounded aesthetic, and Hug embraces some of his deepest nourishing roots. Featuring Wilson’s long-running quartet with saxophonist Jeff Lederer, cornetist Kirk Knuffke and bassist Chris Lightcap, Hug documents one of jazz’s most potent and expressive working bands exploring a typically far-flung Wilsonian program.

[ July 17, 2020 release via Grizzley Music: Jeff Cosgrove, John Medeski, Jeff Lederer – History Gets Ahead of the Story ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

release date: July the 17th, 2020

4.5 stars: “Drummer Jeff Cosgrove’s History Gets Ahead Of The Story is mesmerising on many levels. First of all, arguably a rarity in this day and age, the overall sound is like a warm blanket on a winter’s day and the punch and layered texture of the drums make the record sound even more inviting. Secondly, Cosgrove’s trio of saxophonist Jeff Lederer and organist John Medeski warmed to the challenge of performing the compositions of bassist William Parker and regularly hit bull’s eye.” – François van de Linde, Jazz Journal

“The clarity of the recording allows the listener to enter into the studio and really ‘feel’ the conversations going on with the trio and this music. A delight from start to finish…” – Richard Kamins, Step Tempest

On Cosgrove’s sixth album as a leader, the drummer offers a unique take on Parker’s long-standing quartet repertoire by rearranging it for the classic organ trio. This is the first album to feature William Parker’s music without Parker providing the undercurrent with his singular bass sound.
