Harvey Sorgen

Harvey Sorgen, Hot Tuna's sizzling drummer, started playing drums and percussion instruments in 1964. His mastery of many styles-jazz, rock, funk and pop-is evident on recordings and gigs with Ahmad Jamal, Robbie Dupree, Roswell Rudd, Dry Jack, Bill Frisell, NRBQ, The Mallards (his own group) and many others, including Hot Tuna. Harvey's taught, performed his own compositions, traveled all over the world (including a two-year stint in Holland) and served as a sound engineer and producer. He has also written and performed pieces for film and the stage, including a solo percussion piece for the New Day Repetoire Theater’s version of “Antigone”
Marilyn Crispell: Fearless, Deeply Sensitive and Shaping the Moment

by Dean Nardi
As Marilyn Crispell talked about her multitude of recent recordings, either solo or with this trio or that quartet, she mentioned needing to pack her bags before going out on tour. She has lived in Woodstock, New York since 1977 and is comfortable there. When I'm at home, not out recording, I look out in the ...

Marshall Allen, Leiba Trio & Gold Mother

by Maurice Hogue
Lights On A Satellite is a fitting title for an album celebrating the 100-year-old miracle, saxophonist Marshall Allen, the mainstay of Sun Ra's legacy. His continuing direction of the Sun Ra Arkestra puts him right up there beside Planet Ra. Other new releases sampled in this episode come from a very worthy Leiba Trio from Argentina ...
Joachim Kuhn, Alain Bedard & Uroboro

Jenny-Clark and drummer Daniel Humair. Kuhn considered that group the band of his life. He may have to make room for his new French Trio with bassist Thibault ...
Marilyn Crispell/Harvey Sorgen, The Young Mothers & B.B. King

by Maurice Hogue
If you haven't heard the piano trio, Dreamstruck (Marilyn Crispell, Joe Fonda & Harvey Sorgen), put them on your must-listen list. Highly original and free wheeling playing make their two releases much appreciated. Crispell and Sorgen decided to continue making magic as a duo on the new Forest, now available, and it's one of the feature ...
Marilyn Crispell & Harvey Sorgen: Forest

by Mike Jurkovic
In whatever stage, studio or musical environment these two supremely gifted improvisors find themselves, their talk is never anything other than bone-set honest. And as clarifying and compelling as so much of the duo's previous decades of recordings have been--preternatural recordings that include Anthony Braxton, Ahmad Jamal, Paul Simon, Cecil Taylor, Karl Berger and Joe Fonda--Forest, the ...
