Their first live-streaming had more than 1600 views, mostly in Iraq. Her discography includes Parenthesis, My Soul Is A Bird with NAB Trio, and a digital CD on Golden Lion Records in Sacramento that was a live recording from before the pandemic with Biggi, REV, Don Robinson on drums, and Lisle Ellis on bass.

Una de las referencias del contrabajista Juan Pablo Balcázar para su "Suite resbalosa" es el disco "The vastness of space" del bajista Reid Anderson, que decía querer "comunicar y expresar belleza a través del sonido y el ritmo". Un propósito que cumple con creces el colombiano en un disco que comparte con Marcel·lí Bayer y Joan Mas (saxo alto), Antonio Mazzei (piano) y Oriol Roca (batería). Es la historia de un reencuentro, es el fuego que se aviva después de décadas de brasas que esperaban que alguien las avivara. Desde que en 1975 grabara "Valley of search" junto, a entre otros, el pianista Cooper-Moore, el saxofonista y flautista Alan Braufman se reencontró con su amigo para celebrar la reedición de aquel y grabar "The fire still burns". Junto a ellos, el saxofonista James Brandon Lewis, el contrabajista Ken Filiano y el baterista Andrew Drury. Dice el guitarrista Guillermo Bazzola que tenía 17 años cuando descubrió la música del canadiense Kenny Wheeler. "Cada vez que escucho su música, me sorprende como si fuera la primera vez. Kenny creó un universo sonoro lleno de detalles sutiles", explica el argentino. Junto a los saxofonistas Rodrigo Domínguez y Natalio Sued, al contrabajista Jerónimo Carmona y al baterista Hernán Mandelman, Bazzola se inspira en el trompetista para su "Lost & Found".

Support Burning Ambulance on Patreon Get the Burning Ambulance email newsletter Episode 56 of the Burning Ambulance podcast features an interview with saxophonist Alan Braufman. Braufman is about to release his first album under his own name in 45 years. He made his debut in 1975 with Valley of Search, recorded at his loft at 501 Canal Street in New York and released on India Navigation. It was reissued in 2018 by his nephew, Abil Nyers, on the Control Group/Valley of Search label, and it sparked enough interest as a lost artifact of the loft jazz era (full disclosure: I reviewed it for The Wire) that he performed in NYC for the first time in decades, and wound up taking almost the same band used at those shows into the studio. Now he's got The Fire Still Burns coming out, featuring James Brandon Lewis on tenor sax, Cooper-Moore on piano, Ken Filiano on bass and Andrew Drury on drums. Braufman and Cooper-Moore lived together at 501 Canal Street in the early 1970s, along with David S. Ware, bassist Chris Amberger, drummer Tom Bruno, and others. The building had a storefront on the first floor, where they set up a sort of house band, but they also hosted other performers; in our interview, Braufman claims David Murray may have given his first New York performance at 501 Canal. In addition to Valley of Search, Braufman played with Cecil McBee on the bassist's album Mutima, and was a member of one of Carla Bley's groups in the late '70s. I think you’re going to enjoy hearing this conversation; it's full of history and memories of an era that hasn't been documented nearly as well as it should have been.

George Floyd fue asesinado hace dos semanas convirtiéndose así en un mártir involuntario de la causa afroamericana. Estados Unidos vive días de protesta en las calles contra el racismo sistémico y la brutalidad policial. Abrimos el programa en la calle, con el sonido de las voces que gritan que "Black Lives Matter". Dice la cantante portuguesa Sara Serpa que "occidente comparte un vergonzoso pasado colectivo de ocupación, explotación, comercio de esclavos, opresión, racismo, segregación, violencia y abuso". Su nuevo trabajo, junto a Zeena Parkins (arpa), Mark Turner (saxo) y David Virelles (piano) reflexiona sobre todo ello. Serpa pone música a la memoria en Super8 de su familia, a las imágenes de Angola bajo el yugo portugués, en "Recognition: music for a silent film". El guitarrista Liberty Ellman encuentra inspiración en la ultramaratón que atraviesa cuatro desiertos del mundo. "Nuestra especie necesita gente con el nivel de tenacidad para abrir camino hacia el futuro". Su nuevo trabajo, "Last desert", vuelve a reunirlo con Steve Lehman (saxo), Jonathan Finlayson (trompeta), Jose Davila (tuba), Stephan Crump (contrabajo) y Damion Reid (batería). "Descubrimiento y compasión. Esos son los estados a los que el violinista Jason Kao Hwang quiere llevar a sus compañeros con la música del Human Rites Trio, que comparte con Ken Filiano (contrabajo) y Andrew Drury (batería). Desde el comienzo de la pandemia, el clarinetista Ben Goldberg ha ido grabando un tema al día en casa. En "Plague diary", Goldberg interpreta todos los instrumentos.

Norvegian Landscapes (etichetta Da Vinci) è il terzo capitolo di un trittico che a Marco Cappelli, chitarrista italiano ma da una quindicina d'anni a New York (dove è inseritissimo nella scena dell'avanguardia), è stato ispirato dal noir europeo contemporaneo: il primo album era dedicato a Fred Vargas, il secondo a Maurizio De Giovanni e questo a Jo Nesbo, autore di gialli norvegese. Cappelli lo ha realizzato con il suo Acoustic Trio, con Ken Filiano al contrabbasso e Satoshi Takeishi alle percussioni, e con ospiti Oscar Noriega ai clarinetti e DJ Olive turntables ed elettronica. Filiano fa anche parte di The Fictive Five, formazione nata nel 2013 per iniziativa del sassofonista Larry Ochs, un veterano dell'avanguardia (basti citare il Rova Saxophone Quartet). Passati in marzo dall'Italia, i Fictive Five ci sono piaciuti molto dal vivo ad Area Sismica di Forlì. In coincidenza con le esibizioni italiane è uscito il loro nuovo album Anything Is Possible (Clean Feed): in quintetto, con Nate Wooley alla tromba, un secondo contrabbasso, Pascal Niggenkemper, e Harris Eisenstadt alla batteria, i Fictive Five propongono un free di alto livello, sostanzioso, che vive dentro pezzi ben architettati, con una notevole articolazione di situazioni, data da una intelligente varietà di combinazioni fra i cinque musicisti

Episode 4 of the Burning Ambulance podcast features the final interview with trombonist Roswell Rudd before his death in December 2017. Rudd was one of the pioneering figures of the jazz avant-garde; though he started out in a Dixieland band, by 1960, he was working with Archie Shepp, Cecil Taylor, and Steve Lacy. He was a member of the ensemble that recorded the legendary ESP-Disk’ album New York Eye & Ear Control, alongside Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, John Tchicai, Gary Peacock and Sunny Murray; along with Tchicai, drummer Milford Graves, and several different bassists, he formed the New York Art Quartet, whose debut album, also on ESP-Disk’, is a landmark of the free jazz era. He and Lacy collaborated for years, interpreting Thelonious Monk's music without a pianist; he was also on multiple Shepp albums in the ’60s, and appeared on the Jazz Composers Orchestra album Communications. In the 2000s, Rudd explored music beyond jazz, recording albums with Mongolian musicians and with Puerto Rican guitarist and cuatro player Yomo Toro. His latest releases include Strength and Power, a collaboration with keyboardist Jamie Saft , bassist Trevor Dunn , and drummer Balazs Pandi, and Embrace, with singer Fay Victor, pianist Lafayette Harris, and bassist Ken Filiano. Rudd was diagnosed with cancer in 2013, and battled the disease until his death in December 2017, but maintained as busy a recording and performing schedule as he could until the end. It’s easy to tell, in this conversation, that he was in poor health; he spoke softly and slowly. But I think it’s still a very interesting interview, and I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Fay Victor is a vocalist and  composer who has become an increasingly regular and vital participant in the world of New York City jazz and improvised music. She grew up in Long Island, cut her teeth in Brooklyn and has worked with a broad range of contemporary artists from butch Morris to Anthony Braxton, Ken Filiano to Joe Morris. Her vocals and lyrics express a deep courage and vulnerability. For this talk Fay takes me back to her early days of musical exploration, through her time in Japan and the Netherlands, up to her current work.  A good one.
