Listen: "Doxology" from The Hymn Project:


"...The Hymn Project is Norwegian contrabassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten’s first proper Texas recording since moving to Austin in 2008.  (It) presents a mixture of traditionals and music composed and improvised with Norwegian and rural Southern American folk hymns in mind. Of course, it’s not too hard to draw a line from this work to the music of Albert Ayler. With a string trio, there’s a variety of blended and oppositional sonorities that sweep around and underneath the trumpet.
The closing “Herido” is a stone classic, bolstered by a monstrous vamp that occasionally tugs at its own sense of time, with the trumpeter singing the words of St. John of the Cross (in Spanish) and supported by driving cymbal and conga rhythms. One could easily imagine such a tune being compiled by Universal Sound twenty years hence. Though Flaten’s work with The Thing, Atomic, and other high-octane Scandinavian improvising groups is unimpeachable, it’s wonderful to hear him in a context that finds its strength in delicacy and a diverse set of musical-cultural streams."

A Matter of Blood



Recorded in Brooklyn, December 2008




Dennis Gonzalez - C trumpet / Bb cornet
Reggie Workman - bass
Curtis Clark - piano
Michael Thompson - drums

Review from JazzNet Denmark :
The latest release from the fantastic trumpet player Dennis Gonzalez leading the following musicians: Curtis Clark on piano, Michael TA Thompson on drums and Reggie Workman (who among other things, is remembered for his work with John Coltrane, Art Blakey and Wayne Shorter) on bass. From the first seconds it is clear that the interaction between the musicians in this quartet is tight, crisp and almost telepathic and nothing less than brilliant. The music is gripping, moving and everything is delivered with a spark and joyful playing, and makes no use of any unnecessary modern effects, as what is presented for listening is a raw acoustic sound. All the instrumentalists listen, supporting and backing each other up and follow in ancient footsteps - sometimes far, far away, their improvisations leading to mysterious roads in the dark. These are experienced guys who play music with incredible self-confidence that is such a pleasure to witness. Listening to this charged release, we hear interesting and exciting improvised jazz throughout, with plenty of edge. Dennis Gonzalez, and his brothers in battle, get the highest recommendation.

Listen to "Kuntu":

"A great album, of the same expansive and broad-sweeping level as 'Nile River Suite' or 'Dance Of The Soothsayer's Tongue' ".

-Free Jazz

Recorded in November 2004 and March 2005 in Michigan, this is the newest release from Italy's Qbico Records (Qbico 82). Gonzalez, whose recent work has transcended the genres of jazz, has teamed up with Detroit saxophonist Bey, as well as reedmen Skeeter Shelton (son of renown Chicago drummer Ajaramu and the keyboardist/singer Amina Claudine Myers) and Mike Carey, both also from Detroit, along with the grounbreaking Michigan trio Northwoods Improvisers to present a rhythmic and melodic African-tinged release.

Faruq Z. Bey is best known for being the leader of the legendary Griot Galaxy (the jazz band founded in 1972 with drummer Tani Tabbal, bassist Jaribu Shahid, and saxophonists Anthony Holland and David McMurray) until Bey's tragic motorcycle accident brought the group to an end in 1985.

"'Dance of the Soothsayer's Tongue' is an extraordinary mixture of sweetness and tribalism, both an expressive melodicism and a wild approach to sonorous matter, incarnated at its best from the tenuous and from children's voices, to Don Cherry, from a rough and abrasive Gonzalez to Eskelin's sax."

"Trumpeter Dennis Gonzalez tends to blow me away. Literally. With each release, his playing gets tighter. While enrapturing himself with some of the best musicians on the scene, his writing gets stronger. This is another great addition to Gonzalez’s already solid body of work."-Gaz-Eta review by Tom Sekowski

"The ghosts of late �60s John Coltrane and Miles Davis materialize in the bittersweet melodies, fractured harmonies and simmering rhythmic modal fury of the ensemble�s more assertive passages. A session full of open space, rich lyricism and adventurous improvisation, A Measure of Vision may have been a long time in coming, but some things are worth the wait."

"Dennis' first recording without his sons since 1999...he had the good fortune to come to Boston and work with this group, and had not played with any members of the great Boston-based group before this, but that would be hard to tell from the great outcome of this fine disc. Coltrane used two bassists on "Africa Brass", both playing different parts and I can hear echoes of a similar vibe here. "
