Big Satan (album)
''Big Satan'' (also referred to as ''I Think They Liked It Honey'') is a live album by saxophonist Tim Berne's Big Satan which was recorded in 1996 and released on the Winter & Winter label. accessed October 13, 2014 Reception The review by Glenn Astarita said "The band explores various methods of expounding upon a story line via Berne and Ducret's shredding lines and implosive mode of execution, while Rainey anchors the proceedings with loosely based polyrhythms and sweeping fills. Here, the musicians straddle the outside while also providing supplementary insight into familiar musical territories. (Strongly recommended.)"Astarita, G ...[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tim Berne
Tim Berne (born October 16, 1954) is an American avant-garde jazz saxophonist and record label owner. His primary instruments are the alto and baritone saxophones. Biography Berne was born in Syracuse, New York, United States. He has said that he had no interest in playing an instrument until he attended Lewis & Clark College in Oregon. Hearing the album ''Dogon A.D.'' (1972) by Julius Hemphill turned his attention toward jazz. He was a fan of rhythm and blues, and it seemed to him that Hemphill was playing jazz with the soulfulness of R&B. In 1974, he went to New York to find Hemphill, who gave him saxophone lessons and advice on how to manage his career. Berne started the record label Empire in 1979. For Empire, he recorded four albums with avant-garde jazz musicians such as John Carter, Alex Cline, Nels Cline, Olu Dara, Vinny Golia, Paul Motian, and Ed Schuller. His next two albums appeared on Soul Note in the early 1980s. In these sessions he worked with trumpeter Herb Ro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jazz
Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with its roots in blues and ragtime. Since the 1920s Jazz Age, it has been recognized as a major form of musical expression in traditional and popular music. Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, complex chords, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation. Jazz has roots in European harmony and African rhythmic rituals. As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to different styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with collective polyphonic improvisation. But jazz did not begin as a single musical tradition in New Orleans or elsewhere. In the 1930s, arranged dance-oriented swing big bands, Kansas City jazz (a hard-swinging, bluesy, improvisationa ...

Unwound (Tim Berne Album)
''Unwound'' is a live 3-CD set by saxophonist Tim Berne's Bloodcount which was recorded in 1996 and released on Berne's Screwgun label. The album was the label's first release following the demise of Berne's previous label JMT Records. Reception The AllMusic review by Joslyn Lane said "This is a great box set, recommended for all big fans of Bloodcount. The uninitiated should start with a smaller dose, such as '' Saturation Point'' or ''Discretion'', since Bloodcount's music requires long attention spans (the tracks are over 20 minutes, on average) to reap the musical rewards".Lane, J.Allmusic Reviewaccessed October 13, 2014 Writing for All About Jazz, Glenn Astarita stated "This is not easy listening for the faint at heart (although, it is less avante than one might assume). Bloodcount ''Unwound'' is a series of startling "live" performances by this tight and extremely adventurous unit. No place to hide here. It's difficult music to perform with plenty of surprises for almost ev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Visitation Rites

Reception The AllMusic review awarded the album 4 stars.Allmusic Review accessed October 15, 2014 In Jazziz, Steve Dollar wrote "The music burns but it also makes sense. Juggling alto and baritone saxophones, Berne zooms between incandescent bits of overblowing and tenderly articulated phrases, upper-register soul crys and thunderclap bursts of notes, while sustaining both formidable drive and cliche-free logic".Dollar, S., Jazziz, March 1998, Volume 15 No. 3, p.78 Track listing # "Poetic License" (Tom Rainey) – 19:59 # "Piano Justice" (Tim Berne) – 30:41 # "I Can't Wait 'Till Tomorrow" (Drew Gress) – 23:10 Per ...

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
