All About Jazz Friday, November 20, 2009Ari Hoenig Quartet: Niu's Jazz and Blues Bar, BangkokAri Hoenig Quartet Niu's Jazz and Blues Bar Silom, Bangkok, Thailand November 5, 2009 There is no other drummer quite like New Yorker {{Ari Hoenig = 2361}}. Watching him play is like marveling at a cross between Animal, the wild drummer of Muppets fame, and {{Max Roach = 10725}}. His approach to drumming is intense above all, ferocious even at times, and yet his harmonic manipulation of his kit is subtlety itself. The crowd at Niu's Jazz and Blues Bar saw both faces of Hoenig on the opener, an original take on {{Charlie Parker = 10115}}'s eternally popular "Billie's Bounce." Barely a couple of minutes into the song the collective energy of the quartet and tenor saxophonist {{Jamie Oehlers = 15565}}'s gale of a solo brought spontaneous cheers of approval. It was that kind of gig...

All About Jazz Friday, November 20, 2009Cage, Herzog unite for outlandish, offbeat cop story, 'Bad Lieutenant'German director Werner Herzog says it's a mistake he'll have to live with. He never wanted to call his upcoming film "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans," but says he was forced to by producers who had their eye on building a franchise based on the 1992 dark morality tale, "Bad Lieutenant," starring Harvey Keitel.

All About Jazz Friday, November 20, 2009INTERVIEW/PROFILE: Jazz Saxophonist Myron Walden Returns with New 'Momentum'By Tad Hendrickson Jazz has had its fair share of players who have put their careers on hold to do some woodshedding. The most well-known example is probably Sonny Rollins' 1959-61 sabbatical where he studied philosophy and yoga, traveled and (most famously) practiced on New York's Williamsburg Bridge at night. Oftentimes, these searching musicians return to their art with new vigor and, hopefully, an artistic breakthrough. Such is the case for saxophonist Myron Walden, who hasn't released an album since 2005...
