Jazz
Rich Perry (tenor sax)
Jeff Hirshfield (drums)
Dennis Irwin (bass)
Steve Lampert (trumpet)
Rich Perry's eighth Steeplechase disc makes a point of featuring the little-known trumpeter/composer Steve Lampert, who penned all but two of the tunes for the session. Bassist Dennis Irwin and drummer Jeff Hirshfield complete the lineup. The absence of a chordal instrument makes for a lot of harmonic openness, and that serves these sparse, freebop-oriented tunes just fine. Lampert, playing muted all the way through, proves to be a fluid and compelling soloist. As a composer, he gravitates toward unusual rhythmic feels, the best examples being the modified 12-bar blues "Gymel" and the agitated double-time "Penance." Perry seems to thrive on these relatively abstract themes; his interaction with the rhythm section is typically laid-back and imaginative.

Paul Bley
Active Decades: '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Nov 10, 1932 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Avant-Garde Jazz, Free Improvisation, Free Jazz, Modern Creative, Modern Free, Post-Bop, Progressive Jazz
Paul Bley has long offered avant-garde pianists an alternative approach to improvising than that of Cecil Taylor. Bley has been able to use melody and space in inventive ways while performing fairly free improvisations. He started on piano at age eight, studied at Juilliard during 1950-1952, and in 1953 played with Charlie Parker on a Canadian television show; the soundtrack serves as his recording debut. After recording for Charles Mingus' Debut label in 1953, he moved to New York. Following a stint with Jackie McLean's quintet, he relocated to Los Angeles. Bley played with Chet Baker and then in 1958 played at the Hillcrest with musicians who would soon form the Ornette Coleman Quartet: Coleman, Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, and Billy Higgins. He soon returned to New York, played and recorded with Charles Mingus and Don Ellis, was part of the Jimmy Giuffre 3 (which also included Steve Swallow), and was married to the talented up-and-coming pianist/composer Carla Bley. After leading his own trio, Bley spent much of 1963 with Sonny Rollins' group. He participated in the famous October Revolution in Jazz in 1964 and was a founding member of the Jazz Composers Guild. He recorded frequently with his trios, for a few years experimented with electronics with his second wife, Annette Peacock, and then in 1974 founded his Improvising Artists label. Virtually all of that short-lived label's output has been reissued on CD by Black SaintSoul Note. Since the mid-'70s, Bley has recorded a countless number of albums for literally dozens of labels (once cutting two albums in the same day, in two different countries). Bley continued his prolific recording practices post-2000, releasing a bevy of albums including Sankt Gerold in 2001, Nothing to Declare in 2004, and Solo in Mondsee in 2007, among others. About Time, a set featuring Bley solo at the piano, appeared in 2008. A key link between Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett, Bley's adventurous yet thoughtful playing sounds like no one else.
