Following the successful “The Peplowski Project” (Self-Released, 2023), baritone saxophonist and composer David Larsen returns with “Cohesion,” a dynamic collaboration with East Coast jazz talents Darryl Yokley, Zaccai Curtis, Alex Apollo, and Wayne Smith Jr. This set contains six original compositions by Larsen and two by Yokley, offering listeners a taste of East-meets-West jazz perspectives.

The title track opens with a modal jazz expression, characterized by harmonized saxophone lines and a forward-thinking rhythmic feel from bassist Apollo and drummer Smith Jr. Yokley and Larsen bring contrasting yet complementary styles: Yokley’s tenor has a resonant post-bop warmth, while Larsen’s baritone provides a rich, grounded hard bop tone. “Down to It” continues in a modal vein, where Larsen’s lyrical sensibility channels the spirit of ‘60s modal jazz fused with hard bop energy.

“Movement” takes on a leisurely straight-eighth groove, propelled by a subtle rhythmic motif. The two saxophones blend in harmony during the melody, while Larsen’s solo navigates rhythmic shifts between straight-eighth and swing feels. His rhythmic flexibility and dynamic phrasing lift the piece, demonstrating his command over both style and structure.

“Wishing Well” moves into Afro-Cuban territory, introducing a lively groove under a buoyant melody from the horns. The rhythmic interplay between Apollo’s bass and Smith’s drums provides a solid foundation, allowing Larsen and Yokley to dive deeply into this new rhythmic terrain. Larsen’s compositional voice brings a melodic fluidity that lets both saxophonists explore stylistic variations throughout the album.

On “Fedchock,” the ensemble locks into a swinging, hard bop vibe, underscored by a hypnotic elegance and subtle guide-tone tension. “Working Things Out” shifts gears with a modern jazz feel, its straight-eighth pulse matched by a buoyant melody. Larsen’s baritone solo here shines with an edgy expressiveness; he builds his solo with the same care he brings to his writing, crafting each phrase with intentionality and depth.

Yokley’s compositions introduce a post-bop flavor to round out the album. “Mount Fuji” swings at a brisk tempo, challenging the ensemble with shifting harmonic ideas. Yokley, Larsen, and Curtis each bring unique improvisational ideas, adding intrigue to the track’s spirited framework. The album closes on “El Duelo,” where inquisitive harmonic choices elevate the composition. Larsen’s hard bop sensibilities find a natural fit in this modern setting, and Yokley’s tenor sax lines bring a resonant depth that enriches the composition’s energy.

Overall, Larsen’s playing has a flowing melodic clarity and infectious groove, balancing timbre, articulation, and inventive motifs with finesse. Across the eight songs, the ensemble shows a profound blending of sensitivity and technicality. Each musician finds creative ways to explore these well-written compositions, making “Cohesion” a distinct and valuable addition to Larsen’s discography.

Founded in 2001, ASTRO CAN CARAVAN is a Finnish collective using large line-ups on their gigs and albums. Their personal instrumental music could be described as psychedelic, ethnically coloured, occasionally avant-garde oriented Big Band Fusion. I'd like to cite the respected Finnish music journalist Pekka Laine from his review on some ACC album, freely translated: "The caravan that wildly operates in an area loosely bordered by funk, imaginary ethnicity, astral noise and free sound waves succeeds to create an unbelievable bazaar atmosphere. Sometimes with an intensity of a snake charmer, sometimes speaking strange things from a mystic's mouth, and every now and then heading into complete lunacy."

It is possible -- I admit I'm not so deeply into this band -- that this new album is easier to absorb than the earlier ones, rather easy to like if you're into both brass-heaviness and psychedelia. At least the frenziest freak-out moments are kept at bay. Let's have a look at the five pieces here.

The tight 5-minute opener 'Astral Projection' was composed by trumpetist Eero Savela, and it has a strong sense of vintage psychedelic jazz-rock. Saxophonist Pauli Lyytinen's 'Solifer 72' (8:38) has a bit calmer tempo and a hypnotic rhythm pattern evoking images of a camel caravan wandering across a desert. I like the way the reeds are soloing in turns, especially Otto Eskelinen's flute.

Eskelinen's composition 'Se kohiseva koski' (6:57) starts slowly and carefully with a bunch of wind instruments gradually growing bigger, bass playing peacefully on the background, until on the third minute the band gets wilder with a Klezmer/Balkan spirit. Balkan ingredients have always been hard for me to digest, but amidst the repetitive and brassy riff-orientation one can also spot interesting participations of various instruments.

Another Eskelinen tune 'Mustavuoren kuiskaus' is the album's most elegant track. Again there's a steady, groovy rhythm pattern and the players take their moments at front. During the album Emil Luukkonen's keyboards tend to be slightly buried under the multitude of wind instruments, but here the electric piano is crucial in creating a 70's-like jazz-rock atmosphere.

The 12-minute, more epic piece 'Amen Ra' (the third one composed by Otto Eskelinen) proceeds with a "where do we go from here?" kind of free-form jamming where only Janne Mathlin's metallic, sharp percussion keeps repeating its steady pattern til the end. if the track's first half has rather a confused atmosphere, the ensemble playing becomes more unified as the piece progresses in a hypnotic manner. The several wind solos are nicely woven into the overall sound where Arttu Hasu's bass sticks out deliciously (almost like in The Police's 'Demolition Man'). The 1974-78 era JADE WARRIOR comes to my mind for the hypnotic feel. Yeah, this tune is my fave, and the grand finale reminiscent of the one in Ravel's 'Bolero' is a fascinating way to finish it.

Apart from the third track's Balkan ingredients I can enjoy this album pretty well, in the right mood.

STEVE DAVIS (TROMBONE) We See

Imagine a late-night set at a smoky jazz club, surrounded by old friends, the air filled with the sound of clinking glasses and laughter. That’s the energy that Steve Davis captures with his latest live album, “We See.” It’s the kind of hard-bop jazz record that plays effortlessly as a reminder of what’s possible when brilliant musicians gather to make magic in the moment in front of an encouraging live audience.

Davis has always been a torchbearer for the trombone, but “We See” is not just about his talents. This is an album that’s as much about connection as it is about individual expression. Davis teams up with a group of heavy hitters: Eddie Henderson on trumpet, Ralph Moore on tenor sax, Renee Rosnes on piano, Essiet Essiet on bass, and Lewis Nash on drums. Together, they make the kind of hard-bop jazz that feels timeless and of the moment, full of warmth, spontaneity, and those unexpected sparks that come from live jazz.

The album kicks off with “Milestones,” and right away, the players show they’re here to play—no charts cluttering the music stands, just pure instinct and joy. Davis’ solo flows with his signature warmth, his tone gliding through the harmony with an effortless cool that’s firmly rooted in the tradition of his heroes. Henderson and Moore stretch out, their solos bursting with lyrical jargon and hard-swinging riffs that leave you nodding along, caught up in their groove.

“To Wisdom, The Prize” is a standout with its beautiful hard-bop style and the way the way the group’s chemistry can be felt by the listener. Davis’ solo starts with a thoughtful touch, each note deliberate and full of color before propelling into a bright, expressive, hard-bop expression. Nash’s drumming is the fuel to the fire, and his interactions during Davis’ and Rosnes’ solos are all about joyful discovery. You can practically hear the smiles as Nash and Essiet lock in behind the soloists, creating a foundation that’s loose yet unshakably solid.

Then there’s the title track, Monk’s “We See.” It starts with Nash laying down a melodic drum solo—each accent ringing clear, his kit resonating like an extension of his voice. When the horns enter, they do so with an exuberant swagger, the three horn lines harmonizing to add interest and color. Moore’s solo here is buoyant and playful, matching Rosnes’ subtle shifts in harmonic colors. Henderson’s trumpet solo is a joyful reminder of why he has become such a beloved figure in jazz: he knows how to blend sophistication with a sense of fun.

“Up Jumped Spring” has a bold post-bop flavor. Rosnes’ gorgeous reharmonization of Freddie Hubbard’s melody during the intro is stunning, as is her solo. The up-tempo waltz time keeps things dancing. By the time we reach “Star Eyes,” the band continues to impress with a groove that’s all about the collective—the rhythm section moves together like a single entity, building lush harmonies and rhythmic settings for each soloist to shine.

The set closes out with “All Blues,” a nod to one of jazz’s most beloved classics. Here, the band pays homage to Miles Davis’ original. It’s the perfect cap to an album that’s all about respecting tradition while finding your own voice within it. You can hear the history that binds these players together, but more importantly, you can hear the pure joy they find in making music together—in sharing their stories and their sounds with all of us.

“We See” is a recorded experience of the feeling of being in a room with old friends, sharing memories, and making new ones as an ensemble of outstanding musician create music in real-time. And isn’t that what jazz is all about?

THE JOYMAKERS Down Where The Bluebonnets Grow

Although early jazz styles like Dixieland and swing have had many revivals and dedicated bands that keep their sound alive, the style that historically came in between those styles, classic jazz (mid 20s - early 30s) has often been overlooked. Lately there have been several bands that are rising to prominence playing classic jazz, or ‘hot jazz’, as it was called back in the day, but many of these modern bands approach the style in too polite of manner. Back in the late 20s, this was music for gangsters, criminals, illegal alcohol manufacturers and drug abusers. It was wild crazy up tempo music that was outlawed in fascist and communist countries alike, as well as in parts of the US too. With their debut album, “Down Where the Bluebonnets Grow”, The Joymakers do a much better job than most when it comes to giving the music that raucous energy that makes it come alive.

The Joymakers are from Austin Texas and band leader Colin Hancock is like a walking encyclopedia when it comes to his knowledge of early jazz in that area. His band concentrates on music that falls in between the early jazz cities of New Orleans, San Antonio and Kansas City. Bands in that southern mid-west region were often called ‘territory bands’, as they often worked within a certain territory as opposed to around the entire country or around the world. Territory bands had distinctive personal sounds all their own. Artists from this region often had a bit of country in their sound, which is great for a working band in Austin. As Colin is apt to point out, jazz in this era didn’t ‘swing’ as we know it today, instead they ‘stomped’, which has a more pronounced two beat feel to it and syncopations more similar to ragtime than mid 30s swing.

All of the songs on this album are good, but its those up tempo numbers that really push the energy. “Tiger Rag” and “Wolverine Blues” supply the juice, but it’s “Crazy Quilt” that really gets the adrenaline flowing. Turn this up on your next drive and watch that speedometer climb. Some of the tracks have vocals, which are probably useful in live situations for entertaining people not normally into early jazz. The lyrics are often humorous and full of sexual double entendres from that era, but for the music lovers, the silly vocals may get in the way of the jams. This CD comes with an extensive booklet that will tell you a lot about this music, but this isn’t museum music, its get down party time.

CLAUDIO MILANO (NICHELODEON) Alberto Nemo, Claudio Milano (with borda), Niccolò Clemente : Frattura, Comparsa, Dissolvenza

Unorthodox Italian vocalist Claudio Milano's newest album, "Frattura, Comparsa, Dissolvenza," was recorded by a quartet with electronic artist Borda and two pianists/electronic artists/vocalists, Niccolo Clemente and Alberto Nemo. Unlike many of Claudio's previous releases, the new one has nothing too much in common with the progressive rock of the 70s, which always was a strong Milano influence.

Just four pieces, 43 minutes long in common. Minimalist and liturgical atmosphere, dark and partially chamber. The opener "Frattura Iniziale" is Alberto Nemo's composition. Nemo began his career performing sacred music in chapels. Slow, dark, and minimalistic repetitive piano and operatic voice together sound like church liturgy. Partially recalls Ran Blake's music. Beautiful song and the best on this album for my ears.

"Comparsa" opens with a dark and dreamy(gothic?) piano solo, and operatic vocals come soon after. Song author and composer Niccolo Clemente adds electronics too. The vocals feel the space flying free. The same atmosphere of church liturgy and Gregorian chants continues.

"Dissolvenza", the longest album's composition, is more based on electronic effects sound. Claudio's vocal acrobatics pushes it towards a more leftfield zone. If the album's opener can be compared with chamber Ran Blake's works, "Dissolvenza" is closer to Diamanda Galas' music.

"Frattura Finale", the album's shortest piece, is written by Nemo again. Chamber piano, minimalist repetitive construction, and emotional voice over it. The Mass is ended.

As always in Claudio's music, there are a lot of philosophical themes and minds in the lyrics (true, it's good to be fluent in Italian though). According to liner notes, the album was recorded somewhere in a gas station. Surprisingly enough, its acoustics recall more of a church space. Probably not an album for Claudio's prog rock side fans, "Frattura, Comparsa, Dissolvenza" shows his great alternative talent - an electro-acoustic minimalist chamber vocalist. Well done!

EMMI KAROLIINA UIMONEN Emmi U. Trio : Junassa

Junassa (=In a train) is the second album of Emmi Uimonen, relatively young Finnish jazz pianist and composer. Her debut My Bird (2019) was a quintet work for piano, violin, alto sax, bass and drums, I haven't listened to it. This time she also sings and is accompanied by double bassist Juuso Rinta and drummer Ville Luukkonen. Tenor saxophonist Adele Sauros guests on two tracks.

In addition to her seven own compositions Emmi has written new lyrics to the moody Finnish traditional melody (known as 'On suuri sun rantasi autius'), that's the 2nd track here. The opening title track is a fine example of Emmi's songwriting. The airy jazz groove meets a slightly Joni Mitchell reminding melodic song substance. The trio plays so well together that the music would function instrumentally, too. That said, I do like her voice, it feels natural and effortless and also bends into wordless, scat-like expression.

'Kysyt miksi' (=You ask why) has a lot of poignant questioning about the uncertain future of mankind, including the environmental worries. Her lyrics in general are thoughtful, but the music never feels like a mere background for vocals. Piano stays fairly equal in the trio, not leaving the excellent rhythm section in its shadow. Luukkonen uses his sticks in a colourful way.

Several pieces have instrumental sections but the compositional structures don't wander into highly surprising directions. The sax on tracks 6 and 8 naturally adds some sonic variety. Nevertheless, despite all my praises above, in the end this solid album doesn't manage to really impress me in the emotional level, and a slight feeling of evenness sets in. This may however change with repeated listenings as the songs become more distinctive from each other.

KARI ANTILA Dahill Road

My first acquaintance with the Finnish jazz guitarist and composer Kari Antila (b. 1966) was circa 2016 when I attended his gig (as a duo with a pianist, I believe it was), in a Helsinki restaurant. I liked it enough to buy right there his first album The North Wind (2013), but have to admit I've seldom listened to it. It featured Manuel Dunkel's saxophone. This latest Antila album is a quartet work, featuring pianist Alexi Tuomarila and the rhythm section of double bassist Kaisa Mäensivu -- also known as a band leader of her own -- and drummer Tuomas Timonen. All seven pieces were composed by Antila.

Right from the opening track 'For Toninho' I came to think of PAT METHENY, his easy-going and light-hearted output, to be more precise. This association is helped by the Lyle Mays style pianism and, above all, Antila's use of his voice as an additional instrument in the similar manner as on several Metheny albums. 'Moving Clouds' is slightly moody in its peaceful tempo and features Kaisa's double bass solo.

'Wild Rooster' is naturally among the livelier stuff here, nevertheless it maintains the sonic smoothness. Throughout the album the music is sophisticated, melodic, fairly gentle and easy on the ears and mind. Happy moods and a more introspective delicacy are in a harmonic balance. Not even 'Waltz for the Swan of Tuonela' gets notably dark, nor it (or Antila's music in general) sounds particularly Finnish, despite the title's reference to Kalevala/ Jean Sibelius.

The voice as an instrument returns on the final piece 'On my Way to Nairobi'. All in all this excellently played and produced album is very easy to enjoy, and especially fans of Pat Metheny will feel at home here. What it perhaps lacks is a wider variety in (guitar) sounds and truly memorable highlights. Four stars, therefore.

Released in April of 1971, Bill Chase was a Schillinger House of Music (later renamed the Berklee College of Music)-trained jazz trumpeter who had cut his teeth in the 1950s playing for Maynard Ferguson, Stan Kenton, and Woody Herman's Thundering Herd. He is often seen on lists of the greatest trumpeters of all-time. This band and album was Bill's attempt to give the "hot ticket" of jazz-rock a try. Sadly, Bill died only three years later in a plane crash at the young age of 40.

1. "Open Up Wide" (3:48) amazing full-throttle brass rock. (8.875/10)

2. "Livin' In Heat" (2:54) a little Broadway musical feel to this one (as well as BS&T). I guess the lead vocals hear must be attributed to Dennis Johnson. (8.875/10)

3. "Hello Groceries" (2:56) R&B brass rock. Jerry Van Blair's lead vocal is pure R&B. (8.75/10)

4. "Handbags and Gladrags" (3:23) slowed down New Orleans funereal music start turns into New York City open air style jazz-rock. Love the wavy, layered horn arrangements in the back ground. Lead vocalist Ted Piercefield sure sounds like David Clayton Thomas. (9/10)

5. "Get It On" (2:59) (8.666667/10)

6. "Boys and Girls Together" (2:56) Ted Piercefield again in the lead vocals. (8.666667/10)

7. "Invitation to a River" (14:13) so much like the soundtrack and arias from a single act of a Broadway musical. Even so, it would be considered great, moving theater music. (27.75/30) a) "Two Minds Meet" - Dennis Johnson again on lead vocals? b) "Stay" - slow and atmospheric with choral background vocals supporting Dennis' plaintive lead. c) "Paint It Sad" - there's that David Clayton Thomas sound and feel again. d) "Reflections" (ad lib) - Astounding horn play--especially from lead trumpeter Bill Chase. e) "River" - more akin to the slow and plaintive music and lyrics of the second movement.

Total time - 33:09

This is an album that sounds as if the Don Ellis Orchestra produced Blood Sweat and Tears and they composed for Broadway musicals. The horn play is amazing throughout this album--so crisp and clear, creative and powerful--but the songs aren't always as engaging and are rarely inventive or forward-thinking (except for the horn arrangements) as some of the other J-R Fusion artists of the day. I feel that Bill and company's compositional and stylistic orientations are quite similar to the music Stephen Schwartz was doing for musical theater.

A-/five stars; a minor masterpiece of theatric brass rock.

Another go round with Pierre, Toto, Jasper, and, this time, all Siggi Busch on the electric bass. Recorded in Hamburg, Germany, in 1970 at Windrose Studio, from November 24 through 27, the album was released in 1971 by MPS Records and distributed by BASF.

1. "Idee A" (4:30) engineered far more toward the accentuation of the electrified elements of the music than anything on Earwax (8.75/10)

2. "Suite": a) "Scorpion" (6:47) spacey experimental soundscapes of a 2001: A Space Odyssey-like cinematic disorder opens up this suite as everyone in the band busies themselves with some unrestricted free-form play--yet there is a flow and tempo and even the shadows of some structural elements including harmony and interplay. The second half goes (13.25/15) b) "Neuteboom" (5:42) buoyed by a very repetitive bass and circus-organ arpeggio line, guitar and electric piano are sent soloing while drummer and bandleader Pierre Courbois messes around with perfect timing beneath. Interesting--and a little annoying after five minutes of the same bass line--though not quite so much when Toto and Jasper begin to try to weave their way into the bass and organ's line. (8.75/10) c) "Scorcussion" (5:56) Pierre is left alone to express on his drum kit. At the end of the third minute of Pierre's soloing Toto starts to inject some noise burst from his fuzz guitar while Jasper adds a spray of chords, flourishes, and crazed hits from his electric piano. At the end of the fifth minute everybody backs off to zero before Toto is given space for some target practice for his alien space ray gun. Despite my understanding the band's effort to take Herbie Hancock's spacey experimentation further, this is just not my cup of tea. (8.5/10)

3. "Silence" (0:18)

4. "Don Paul" (3:09) more jagged, angular jazz musings and exercises in cohesion and cooperation, this one opens a little too aggressively and then just as suddenly and quickly moves into a solo of Siggi's double bass. Eventually, he's joined by brushed drums and dissonant chord play from Toto's un-effected guitar. These guys are obviously so comfortable and proficient at their instruments that they can easily and smoothly do just about anything, but this is not the type of musical listening that I choose to come back to: there's just too much of the crazy Tony Williams Lifetime Emergency! avant garde experimentation going on here for my liking. (8.375/10)

5. "Totemism" (16:45) These guys are obviously so comfortable and proficient at their instruments that they can easily and smoothly do just about anything, but there's just a little too much of the crazy Tony Williams Lifetime Emergency! avant garde experimentation going on here for my liking. (Didn't I already say that?) Luckily, about two minutes into it the quartet gels into a forward-moving, single-direction motif over-and within which all of the individual musicians still find the freedom to move about and pave their own way. Having heard enough of Toto Blanke's guitar playing now to appreciate his skills, I have to say that when he plays like this--like 1960s jazz guitar with an experimental edge-- I am not a fan: impressed, yes, but not a fan. Jasper van't Hof is experimenting with way too much distortion on his electric piano which gives it a very "dirty" sound than I also do not like. This would probably be a very fun song to experience in a live jazz club scene but it is really not my kind of jazz (or jazz-rock fusion)--and here they're forcing 17-minutes of it down my throat! (30.375/35)

6. "Frau Theunisse"n (1:10) a FOCUS-like jam that seems to be coming out of some other jam (it's faded in to get started) but then is over far too quickly. (4.5/5)

Total time 44:17

After the previous year's Earwax, I was very excited to hear this, their follow-up!

B-/3.5 stars; a very good display of experimental, loosely-performed avant garde electrified jazz that feels like a detour down the wrong (but, I get it: necessary) direction. Check it out for yourself but this is no album that I will return to soon--maybe ever.

AKIRA SAKATA Harpacticoida / Akira Sakata ‎: La Mer

A leading Japanese avant-garde jazz sax player has formally graduated as a marine biologist. "La Mer" is his most unorthodox album, containing Sakata's compositions, recorded for the video program ”The Universe of Mijinko (Water Flea)”. Besides being a soundtrack composer, Akira plays reeds himself with the Harpacticoida trio ("Harpacticoida" is a planktonic or benthic water creature), consisting of Indonesian-Japanese pianist Febian Resa Pane, acoustic bassist Hiroshi Yoshino, and marimba player Kumiko Takara.

The album's music is opposite to almost everything we heard from Sakata on his regular albums. The compositions on "La Mer" are low-tempo, dreamy and soulful. Sakata plays many clarinet and alto solos, almost improvisation-less straight tunes. No trace of his regular harsh sound and screaming free sax can be found here. Febian Resa Pane plays almost chamber piano, and the whole music varies from soulful pop-jazz to almost ambient new age, scented with Japanese folk elements.

The original soundtrack material is completed with "Ballad For Taco (Octpus)" - a melancholic ballad with Sakata soprano sax soloing, it sounds a bit closer to his more regular material.

Originally a self-released edition in 2000, it has been reissued in Germany in 2002 by major label Enja and isn't a rarity anymore. Still, this album will hardly attract Sakata's explosive free-jazz fans and can be interesting mostly for his hot followers/researchers and collectors.
