Releases:
- “BLACK FRIDAY” by Three Shamans
- “In Memory of Mark Whitecage” by The Nu Band
- – “The session opens with two different Whitecage numbers, the flute-infused “Prayer for the Water Protectors” and the animated “Five O’clock Follies”, a spectacular freebop blowout whose frantic short theme immediately takes us to a bass solo solely supported by hi-hat drops. Unison sax-trumpet motifs disintegrate and reshape into autonomous improvisatory rants. The indefatigable swinging drive created by the rhythm section stimulates the horn players who display their attractive language with unlimited confidence.” (FILIPE FREITAS, JazzTrail)
- – The great reedman Mark Whitecage is a player who never fully got his due – a really unique talent in terms of phrasing and rhythm, finally given one last chance at the spotlight here on this final recording with The Nu Band… (Dusty Groove)
- – In Memory of Mark Whitecage is as spellbinding as only long time downtown jazz liberators can get and so often do. Spearheaded by Whitecage (who passed in March 2021) the Nu Band—irrepressible bassist Joe Fonda, Thomas Heberer-quarter tone trumpet, and drummer Lou Grassi—never let a moment pass that is not the creative equivalent of the moment before it. And the one before that. (Mike Jurkovic, AllAboutJazz)
- – With some recordings of free jazz concerts there’s a feeling that “you had to be there” but this album translates brilliantly to home listening. (JazzHalo)
- Loren Stillman: Live at Bop Shop Records
- [PRESS START]
- – “… Maslyn honors his late sibling with a heartfelt, playful tune. His lyrical fretwork pops overs the rippling rhythmic foundation… The tune crackles with flair even as it stays grounded in quiet grace.” (Patrick Hosken, CITY)
