Kadima's story
by Stuart Broomer
All About Jazz |
When you first come across the recordings on Kadima Collective, a couple
of things stand out. The first is that the label, devoted to free improvisation,
is based in Israel; secondly, there's a good chance that the CD will
feature a bassist, often one of substantial international stature,
like Barre Phillips, Mark Dresser or Joëlle Léandre.
Those distinguishing marks can be traced to the founder of both the Kadima
Collective and the eponymous label, Jean-Claude Jones, a bassist of the
first rank himself. Born in Tunisia and raised in France, Jones is a
Berklee College graduate who immigrated to Israel in 1983.

All About Jazz
March 18,2011 |
Contrabassist Bertram Turetzky's career is nothing short of extraordinary. He
almost single handedly redefined the role of the bass in 20th Century
classical music, from one of back row support to that of featured and
celebrated soloist. Even within the confines of classical music, Turetzky's
range is huge: he is a master of early, pre- Bach music; a noted performer
of chamber music; a veteran of symphonic ensembles; and he's played
everything from Brahms and Strauss to 20th Century mavericks like John
Cage and Edgard Varese.
