TO THE EAST: THE 25 DOPEST BOOM BAP SONGS

By Stereo Williams

Published Sat, February 26, 2022 at 9:00 AM EST

"Boom Bap" can be taken a lot of different ways. The term has come to mean everything from classic East Coast hip-hop to a "purist" in the most derogatory sense. You may even be hearing about the “return of the boom bap era” with artists like Joey Bada$$ and J. Cole becoming popular. 

Sometimes, it sounds like a put-down aimed at anyone whose music tastes are stuck in the 1990s, particularly if you have an affinity for hardcore East Coast rap of that period. But, here, boom bap is a beautiful thing. It's something timeless and classic; the essence of what has made pure NYC Hip-Hop great.

The roots of boom bap Hip-Hop beats go all the way back to the mid-1980s. After early rap records got Hip-Hop music on the radio with a sound that was heavily indebted to funk and disco; Hip-Hop artists like Run-DMC and Boogie Down Productions emerged with a "new school" approach that de-emphasized melody for hard-hitting snare drums and kick drum loops. During the height of the late 80s/early 90s sampling era, that foundational "boom bap" would evolve into a signature East Coast/New York sound. And after the creative explosion of the Golden Age, a generation of East Coast hip hop producers like Havoc, Pete Rock, Evil Dee, Large Professor, RZA, Buckwild, Showbiz and Texas transplant DJ Premier took jazz and soul samples and turned them into these darkly melodic, murky, head noddable rap classics. Prominent West Coast artists like The Alchemist are also notable for contributions to the boom bap style. 

Here are our picks for the 25 dopest boom bap songs. 

#26

"I LOVE YOU" (REMIX) - MARY J. BLIGE FEAT. SMIF-N-WESSUN [BONUS SONG]

This Isaac Hayes-sampling album cut from Mary's landmark sophomore album "My Life" got the remix treatment and an all-time great guest spot from the Boot Camp Clik mainstays Smif-N-Wessun. Tek and Steele remind you just how grimy MJB can get.

#25

"LET IT FALL" - LIN QUE FEAT. MC LYTE

Having originally debuted as womanist X-Clan affiliate Isis, the Queens-born rhymer re-emerged in the mid-90s as a hardcore uber-lyricist on this underrated banger.

#24

"CHIEF ROCKA" - LORDS OF THE UNDERGROUND

The Jersey crew blew up under the tutelage of Marley Marl and dropped one of the era's most infectious singles. 

#23

"STREET STRUCK" - BIG L

The late Harlem emcee would become a breakout star of the D.I.T.C crew. And this Buckwild-produced cautionary look at a generation of youth in crisis would become one of his most indelible tracks.

#22

"ON THE RUN" - KOOL G RAP & DJ POLO

If there's a big bang for what we now think of traditional East Coast boom bap, Kool G Rap can certainly claim to be one of the style's fathers. And this epic crime tale remains one of the best storytelling raps in the genre.

#21

"COLD WORLD" - GZA FEAT. INSPECTAH DECK

The title track of his classic debut album is definitely more famous, but this song's frigid feel is so appropriately chilly that it has to be recognized as grimy NYC rap at it's finest. Sounds like Staten Island in January. 

#20

"TONIGHT'S DA NIGHT" - REDMAN

"What the fuck, man? Get the fuck off that punk smooth shit, man." Even as he mocks his own song's laid-back vibe, Reggie Noble rocks this jazzy head-nodder from his classic debut, Whut? Thee Album."

#19

"UNBELIEVABLE" - THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G.

Over a classic DJ Premier beat, Christopher Wallace drops some of his most legendary bars. Evidence that , even with it's chart-climbing singles, his debut album "Ready to Die" was steeped in hardcore East Coast street-hop. 

#18

"THEY WANT EFX" - DAS EFX

The murky classic that helped sustain grimy East Coast rap commercially as G-Funk emerged out West. It's easy to forget just how influential this hit was on the era.

#17

"SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST" - MOBB DEEP

Havoc came out the gate swinging on this street hop masterpiece. Dark and sinister, somehow even more foreboding than the classic single that preceded it. 

#16

"FRIEND OR FOE" - JAY-Z

Jay would get glossier quickly, but his debut album is still full of great hardcore East Coast boom bap. The best example is this Primo-produced lyrical storytelling tour-de-force. 

#15

"NEXT LEVEL" - SHOWBIZ & A.G.

Whatever you think "boom bap," is, Showbiz is one of the architects. The D.I.T.C. crew has always been so distinct and so tethered to the sound of hardcore NYC. 

#14

"N.Y. STATE OF MIND" - NAS

"Illmatic" is one of the most celebrated albums in rap's canon; and this banger opens it in classic fashion. It literally sounds like riding the F train in Queens. 

#13

"CAN IT ALL BE SO SIMPLE" - WU-TANG CLAN

The soulful flip of Gladys Knight carries this murky, gloomy, absolutely perfect track. Ghost and Rae establish their legendary chemistry, and RZA elevates himself into the upper echelon. 

#12

"I GOT CHA OPIN" (REMIX) - BLACK MOON

Dismissed by some as too "smoothed out and radio" for a group that was so unapologetically street, it's a 90s East Coast classic. 

#11

"FLAVA IN YA EAR" (REMIX) - CRAIG MACK FEAT. THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G., RAMPAGE, BUSTA RHYMES AND LL COOL J

Just before Biggie's fame reached stratospheric levels, he had a standout verse on this classic--one of the greatest posse cuts of all time. 

#10

"TAKE IT PERSONAL" - GANG STARR

Over one of Primo's most iconic early beats, Guru goes off. A Gang Starr classic, it features the emcee taking shots at anyone who might think he's changed. F.U.

#9

"COME CLEAN" - JERU THE DAMAJA

Another one of DJ Premier's most famous productions, Jeru became a household name after this leaky faucet-evoking classic. 

#8

"LEFLEUR LEFLEAH ESHKOSHKA" - HELTAH SKELTAH W/OGC

The Boot Camp Clik helped solidify no-bullshit 90s East Coast hardcore hip-hop. This infectious collab became one of the crew's most famous hits. 

#7

"STEP IN THE ARENA" - GANG STARR

DJ Premier's brilliant flip of Fred Wesley is the foundation for this standout Gang Starr track from their groundbreaking second album. 

#6

"MCS ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW" - KRS-ONE

The Teacha and DJ Premier made magic in the 90s, and they team up on this classic track to once again let listeners and rappers know who is at the top of the game.

#5

"WHO GOT DA PROPS?" - BLACK MOON

DJ Evil Dee takes an ingenious flip of Ronnie Laws and makes it a Brooklyn ruffneck anthem. The song that helped launch Black Moon and the Boot Camp Clik. 

#4

"SHOOK ONES, PT. II" - MOBB DEEP

A song that launched the legend. The duo out of Queensbridge achieved grimy, boom bap infamy with this 1995 masterpiece. Havoc took that sample of a stovetop lighter and made something timeless and legendary. 

#3

"THE WORLD IS YOURS" - NAS

The Pete Rock hook is indelible; and a young Nasir Jones makes his case for rap greatness. It's one of the most important singles of the 1990s.

#2

"C.R.E.A.M." - WU-TANG CLAN

The song that woke up any and everyone who was still sleeping on the Clan. They'd made noise with street singles and some video play, but this classic changed everything.

#1

"MASS APPEAL" - GANG STARR

Its quintessential in every way: It's quintessentially East Coast, quintessentially Gang Starr, quintessentially Guru, quintessentially Preemo. It's quintessentially Hip-Hop.

Too Long

Too Long

Marinette squinted at her notes, Emma was sleeping curled up on the sofa next to her. Adrien and Nino were outside trying to fix the car. Felix clambered onto the sofa, the old cat dropping down in between Marinette and Emma. Glancing up at the urn on the mantel piece, Marinette felt a pang of grief over the loss of Bridgette.

“Are you okay?” Asked Alya, walking in carrying a sleeping Isaac.

“Yeah, Emma had another nightmare.” Was Marinette’s tired response.

“Kagami’s sleeping, she accidentally tore her stitches again.” Said Alya, carefully lowering herself onto the sofa, “Luka’s gone to the shops, since we’re suddenly out of milk.”

Marinette sighed through her nose, carefully adjusting herself so she didn’t wake Emma, “Alya, I know what he and the other guys are doing.”

“I know, it just,” Alya exhaled sharply, “With Redman and Macintyre out and Jones escaping, we’re worried about you.”

Marinette breathed slowly, “Alya, you know perfectly well that I can take care of myself. If Jones comes here, it’ll be the last place he ever sees.”

Marinette patted her leg, a 12–13-inch dagger sheathed and hidden away as a safety measure. She had accidentally conjured it shortly before Louis was born. Marinette glanced down at Emma, she had her father’s hair and eyes and was nearly four years old, her twin brother, Hugo, had very much taken to being a ‘big boy’, but he always came back to one of his parents when he’d been hurt.

Marinette had three children by Adrien, one by Nino and another two by Luka, while Alya and Kagami had one by each of them. Kagami was recovering from a c-section after shattering her pelvis in an accident that confined her to a wheelchair.

Adrien walked in, a black mark on his face. Marinette looked at him and started giggling.

“Louis and Marcus are helping us do an oil change.” Said Adrien, grabbing a glass and filling it with water, “Since some idiot put coolant in instead of oil.”

“Aren’t you that idiot?” Asked Alya, getting Adrien to stick his tongue out at her.

Alya reciprocated, before Isaac whined and started kicking his legs out. Alya sighed, before carefully adjusting him so he’d fall back asleep. Hugo toddled into the room, dragging his blanket behind him, he then clambered up onto the sofa and curled up on his mother’s other side. Adrien smiled softly at the twins, reaching out to stroke their heads, only for Marinette and grab his wrist.

“Wash your hands.”

Adrien glanced at his palms, and wince at how dirty his hands were.

“I’ll go finish with the car.”

Marinette gave a small snort, before going back to her work.

TL

Luka smiled as he watched Thomas and Yoko putting items in the trolly. Yoko put in sweets, while Thomas put in fruits.

“Papa, can we get one of those?” Asked Yoko, pointing towards a man with a cardboard box sitting next to him.

Luka looked over and frowned, “Koko, what’s he selling?”

“Puppies!”

“He’s selling glorified rats.” Said Thomas, glaring at the box.

“What makes you say that?” Asked Luka, as a snout appeared over the top of the box, “Is this something to do with Bridgette?”

“No.”

Thomas responded too quickly for it to be the truth. Both Thomas and Louis had been close to Bridgette when they were little and had been devastated when the old dog died.

“Thomas.” Luka said in a warning tone.

“Okay, fine, I don’t see the point in having a stupid dog if it’s gonna die.” Snapped Thomas, with Luka getting reproachful looks from other shoppers.

“Tom, I know that you’re still upset about Bridgette,” Started Luka, gently, “but it’s a part of life, sometimes the best way to deal with it is to fill the hole left by a pet is to get another one.”

“Or three.” Mutter Thomas, finally alerting Luka to the fact that Yoko had gone over to the man and was holding three of the puppies.

“Oh no.” said Luka, before rushing over to Yoko, who’d made it back into the store with the three puppies.

“He said they were free!” Said Yoko, gleefully.

“Oh, I’m dead.” Muttered Luka, as Yoko put the puppies into the trolly.

“Papa, can we call them Fred?”

TL

Adrien looked up as he heard someone coming up the drive, he looked behind him and froze at the sight of a defeated Luka with Yoko and Thomas holding three puppies of different breeds.

“Marinette’s going to kill you.” Said Adrien, as Louis and Marcus look around him.

“Yoko’s named them Fred.” Said Thomas, helpfully.

“I hate to break it to you, but two of them are girls.” Stated Louis, pointing at them.

Yoko quickly hurried inside with one of the puppies. There was a moment of silence, before a bark was heard, followed by a baby wailing.

“Luka!” Came Marinette and Alya’s voices, getting a snort from Adrien.

“After you.” Said Adrien, gesturing for Luka to enter the house.

TL

Ethan haphazardly pulled at the security tags on the clothes he stole. As soon as he could get the police off his tail, he would be free to find the miserable little chi-

Ethan didn’t get a chance to finish that thought, as a white gloved hand punched him in the back of the head with enough force to knock him out.

Bunnyx glared down at Ethan, before dragging him to the door and throwing him out onto the street. The heroine detransformed, pulled out her phone and called the police.

Mickey tried not to squirm under the combined glare of Kagami and Adrien. He’d thought Kagami wouldn’t be intimidating because she was in a wheelchair, he didn’t expect how wrong he’d been.

“I-I know t-that I have n-no right to explain myself-” Adrien cut him off, “You admitting to abducting, beating, raping and planning on killing Marinette, practically cheered Ethan on with killing Lila and only went along with the deal because you didn’t want to go to prison.”

“B-but, you know how Ethan was.”

“Yeah, but we also know how you were,” Growled Kagami, “you weren’t afraid of him, you always made a point of telling him how he should be afraid of you. What makes us sick about you isn’t that you claimed Ethan scared you, it’s that you did all those things because you wanted to and wanted to duck out of the consequences.”

“T-there’s n-no proof in that.”

“Sam saw you eying Marinette a week before the attack,” Said Adrien, his tone flat, “say what you will about Sam, he’s observant, so he knows what look is being given and what that look means. Sam was only wrong in the fact that you weren’t dumb enough to go through with it.”

Mickey resembled a gold fish as Adrien and Kagami started to leave.

“The restraining order still stands, Redman,” Said Adrien, coldly, “if you get within 100 feet of Marinette or her children, they wouldn’t even be able to find your body.”

Mickey swallowed, watching the two leave, terrified out of his own mind.

TL

“Ethan Jones has been recaptured.” Said Marinette, frowning at the paper, “How long had he been free?”

“A week.” Responded Luka, carefully brushing Yoko’s hair.

“Apparently a Ms. Kubdel found him and called it in.”

“Amazing.”

“Almost as if someone told her to look for him.”

“Marinette,” Sighed Luka, “Why do you find it so hard to believe that your friends and family actually love you?”

“I know you guys love me.” Defended Marinette, frowning.

“I meant outside of this household,” Gestured Luka, “Marinette, I heard Juleka say that you were the glue that keeps everyone together. I just don’t understand why you think you’re so unlovable.”

Marinette looked down, while Yoko stared up at her Papa and Maman.

“Yoko, why don’t you go play with Becka and Chris?” Suggested Luka, getting a nod from the girl.

Once Yoko was out of earshot, Luka turned back to Marinette, “Is this to do with three of those buys getting out.”

Marinette’s eyes were still on her lap, making Luka sigh again. Without saying another word, Luka gently pulled Marinette closer to him, “They can’t hurt you and they can’t hurt the kids. You know Chloé’s already seen to that.”

Marinette released a shuddery breath into Luka’s shoulder, “It’s not that.”

Luka frowned, “Then what is it?”

“One day, I’m going to have to tell them a-and I just know it’s going to change how they see me,” Cried Marinette, “How their mother is a-”

“Don’t finish that sentence.” Interrupted Luka, “You know as well as the rest of us that you’re not a slut or a whore or any other derogatory name under the sun. You’re Marinette, you’re a victim, you’re a survivor, you’re a Celestial Guardian and you’re the mother to twelve beautiful children.”

Marinette swallowed, “But I still see it, Luka. I’m in that room and I’m stuck and I can’t move a-a-and I’m too pathetic and useless to do anything.”

“You know that’s not true,” Said Alya, from the doorway, “Yoko told me that Papa and Maman are upset.”

“Marinette’s nightmares have come back.” Said Luka, as Alya moved further into the room.

“Mari, why didn’t you say anything?” Asked Alya, perching next to them.

“There’ve been more important things going on.” Muttered Marinette, before Alya gently grabbed her chin and kissed her.

Marinette froze for a second, before attempting to deepen the kiss.

“Oh,” Murmured Alya, against Marinette’s lips, “Luka, be a dear and close the door, I think Mari wants to feel good.”

Luka nodded and quickly shut the door.

TL

Adrien looked at the sheet of paper in front of him, “How the hell did they confuse Physics with Biology?”

Nino looked up from his laptop, “Similar area?”

Adrien gave Nino a flat look, “Since when did human blood make a blue flame?”

Nino stared at Adrien, before saying, “I take it back, your students are dumb.”

“We still need to ask Caline and Michael is they’re coming over tonight.” Said Adrien, changing the subject.

“Should we ask if they’re bringing their kids?”

“I would’ve assumed that was a given, although, I don’t think Michelle would like it if we asked her mother instead of her.” Muttered Adrien, pushing his glasses up his face, “I hear that D’Argencourt had a stroke in his cell a couple days ago.”

“Really?” Inquired Nino, quirking an eyebrow, “How’d you hear that?”

“Because Chloé was bitching about how it appeared that the Guards killed him.” Stated Adrien, casually.

“Wait, he’s dead?”

“From what I heard.”

TL

“Madames et Monsieurs, College Francois Dupont, in collaboration with Rose Heart Academy and the Jeanne D’Arc School for Gifted Individuals, are proud to present Miraculous Ladybug, the untold tale of Ladybug and her Partner Chat Noir,” Read Thomas, looking at the sheet of paper in his hands, “apologies for the late start, but Ian’s come down with the flu and his understudy was late.”

Gabriel saw Marinette wince, while two more of his grandchildren wandered around the stage. Nathalie shifted in her seat, Lianne was directing the performance.

Thomas looked up, “Several artistic liberties have been taken.”

Then the hall went dark, and the curtain was raised.

Dust Volume 5, Number 5

PUP

Home fi, gnawa-pop fusion, mariachi cowpunk, classically minded jazz, shout-y punk-pop and finger picked acoustic blues—as appropriate for spring, Dust lets a thousand flowers bloom.This edition of short, mostly positive reviews, draws contributions from Isaac Olson, Bill Meyer, Jennifer Kelly and Justin Cober-Lake. We hope you find something to blast from open windows on the first warm, sunny opportunity.  

Ahmed Ag Kaedy — Akaline Kidal (Sahel Sounds)

Akaline Kidal by Ahmed Ag Kaedy

This acoustic, solo release by Malian guitarist in exile Ahmed Ag Kaedy is a beaut. Like a lot of so-called desert blues, this is only chill out music until you read the lyrics, for example, “The Tuareg people must know/you can consider France an enemy/no better than Algeria who stands in our path.” Even if militant nationalism, no matter who’s calling for it, isn’t your thing, Ahmed Ag Kaedy’s weathered, throaty voice and plangent, monophonic guitar flights which are as evocative, bitter, and seemingly ephemeral as campfire smoke, make Akaline Kidal well worth hearing. And like campfire smoke, they’ll stick with you well into the next day.  

Isaac Olson

  Astralingua — Safe Passage (Midnight Lamp)

Safe Passage by Astralingua

Quietly, precisely odd, this elaborately instrumented, baroquely arranged folk experiment shrouds whispery threads of poetry in eerie landscapes of stringed instruments, pennywhistles and gently massed harmony. The music, mostly the work of composer Joseph Andrew Thompson but aided by singer Anne Rose Thompson, runs much in line with goth folk outfits like Gravenhurst and Boduf Songs, in the way that dread seeps up from the floorboards and beauty has a spectral, semi-transparent air; you could make a case for an Elliott Smith singing in front of Clogs comparison in a couple of the songs. Yet the music faces forward, not back into misty folklorics. “Space Blues” takes a turn towards proggy Pink Floyd-ish visions of interstellar travel on “Space Blues” and while “Poison Tree” heads off into to tremulous orchestral confessionalism, a la Sufjan Stevens. It is all very pretty and a little disturbing.

Jennifer Kelly

 Kaja Draksler / Petter Eldh / Christian Lillinger—Punkt.Vrt.Plastik (Intakt)

Punkt.Vrt.Plastik by Kaja Draksler, Petter Eldh, Christian Lillinger

This pan-Euopean combo rethinks one of the most cobweb-festooned configurations in jazz. To overcome the piano trio’s over-familiarity, they combine idiosyncratic personal techniques with a disciplined collective approach. Swedish bassist Petter Eldh and German drummer Christian Lillinger have forged their concord in a couple other groups; the former is assertively melodic and big-toned, the latter quick and ubiquitous. With so much happening in the engine room, they need a partner who values balance, and they have found one in Slovenian pianist Kaja Draksler. Her playing is fleet and articulate, and her ideas feel complete in themselves, but they also leave ample space between the root notes for her partners to exercise their formidable muscles without banging into any harmonic walls.

Bill Meyer

 Maxine Funke — Home Fi (Feeding Tube)

home fi by maxine funke

Keep your lo fi, hi fi, and wifi; Home Fi is where it’s at. Really, how come no one characterized their music thusly before? Maxine Funke’s songs flesh out the conceit with lyrical details that relate not just home life, but a state of at-homeness on the grounds around the house. “February” doles out images of late summer foliage (Funke lives in New Zealand) and foraged taste treats; “Waving the Tea Rose” finds spiritual riches in the neighbors’ trash. Funke’s accompanies her slightly sleepy croon with spare finger-picking, captured up close enough that you can hear a chair creak while a strategically dissonant organ or fiddle pipes up in the background. This record, which was originally sold as a tape on an Australian tour, lasts just 22 minutes, but it feels as complete as an afternoon nap.

Bill Meyer

  Houssam Gania — Mosawi Swiri (Hive Mind Records)

Mosawi Swiri by Houssam Gania

Houssam Gania, son of guimbri master Maalem Mahmoud Gania, opens Mosawi Swiri, his debut, with an act of cheerful patricidal aggression. Rather than launching into the traditional Gnawa music — solid and sparse as a mudbrick house, deep and dark as a well and groovy as ripples in a dune — that his father mastered, Gania’s traditional guimbri and qraqabs are joined on the first track, “Moulay Lhacham,” by a guitar/drums/keys band that sounds not unlike Brent Mydland-era Dead. It’s sunshiny, a little corny and perfectly delightful. Ok, ok, so Gania Sr. was no purist himself, having collaborated with, among others, Pharoah Sanders and Peter Brotzmann, but Gania Jr’s opening gambit is pure pop delight. Luckily for armchair ethnographers everywhere, the rest of Mosawi Swiri sticks to traditional Gnawa music, which in Gania’s capable hands, really is as hypnotic and potentially curative as both locals and marshmallow-eared world music fans claim. That first track is a hoot though, and while I’m not sure Gania could sustain a whole album of gnawa-pop fusion, I’d love to see him try.

Isaac Olson

 A.F. Jones — Bourdon du Kinzie (Unfathomless)

Bourdon du Kinzie by A.F. Jones

Sound ecologist, submarine acoustician, mastering engineer, musician; if it manifests within the ears, A.F. Jones is tuned into it. This CD echoes an order that David Thomas, a man who has never been shy about telling other people what to do, once barked. “Insist on more than the truth.” This album began with a field recording expedition to a disused bunker in Port Washington, WA. The space is simultaneously absorbent and reverberant, luring external sounds into its cavernous interior and transforming them with its long decay times. You could probably get some cool sounds by simply stamping your foot or dropping the change in your pockets and hearing what the space does to it. But sound collection is just the first step for Jones. He’s used audio analysis software to isolate and enhance the space’s dominant tones, and then further seasoned the reduction with dancing sine tones. The result is a sort of sonic centrifuge in which essences are extracted so that some sounds become more ephemeral and others more vivid. Give it a spin.  

Bill Meyer  

 Patio—Essentials (Fire Talk)

Essentials by Patio

All clanks and spikes and spatter, this Brooklyn-based trio constructs a jag-edged punk with lots of space. It jangles like a bag of rusty nails. The vocals—sung sometimes by bassist Loren DiBlasi and other times by Lindsey-Paige McCloy, the guitarist (but not by Alice Suh, the drummer) —are a soothing counterpoint, unless you listen to the words, which are sharp despite the cool, distanced delivery. The band mixes late-1980s post-punk jitter with intriguing intervals of chanted poetry and pop self-revelation. “Open,” the longest cut, threads an antic, literate narrative atop a bassline so crackling with electricity that you could get a shock. “Boy Scout,” the single, bounds ahead then collapses in a heap, surges and stops in sudden uncertainty. The music exactly mirrors the confusing, conflicting emotions sketched in lyrics like, “Never have the chance to choose, naturally I always lose, I went shopping the other day, this week I can afford to feel better.” Patio makes inward-facing music that jerks and spasms in an approximation of hedonism, but maintains its quiet, difficult core.

Jennifer Kelly

  PUP — Morbid Stuff (Little Dipper/Rise/BMG)

Morbid Stuff by PUP

It’s been a minute since shout-along punk rattled cages like this second outing from Toronto’s PUP. Here in 11 teeth-rattling blasts, the band radiates bratty intelligence and dashed hopes, amid slamming guitars and kit battering drums. The tension between nerdy, needy erudition and beer bro riffs is palpable. When singer Stefan Babcock confesses, “Just like the kids/I've been navigating my way through the mind-numbing reality of a godless existence/Which, at this point in my hollow and vapid life, has erased what little ambition I've got left,” at the beginning of the single “Kids” you kind of expect the guy to get beat up by his own song. Obvious references include the Hold Steady, Green Day, Japandroids, that is, pretty much any punk that smart kids can memorize and dumb kids can punch the air to without really understanding. The trick is to stomp with triumphant, hobnail-studded aggression all over the relentlessly depressing lyrical content. Pretty soon, we are all singing along that, “Just because you’re sad, doesn’t make you special.”

Jennifer Kelly

 Joshua Redman Quartet — Come What May (Nonesuch)

Saxophonist Joshua Redman has been one of the defining voices of mainstream jazz for a quarter century, his clear tone and lyrical sensibilities a steady source of pleasure in various configurations. For Come What May, Redman reassembles his quartet from the early 2000s (pianist Aaron Goldberg, bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Gregory Hutchinson) for seven original compositions. The group stays locked in across a variety of sounds, with Goldberg particularly getting some time to shine. Bookending the album with meditative numbers “Circle of Life” and “Vast” makes for a nice closed structure to the disc, letting the livelier numbers pulse and swing. On “DGAF” the musicians' comfort with each other allows Hutchinson to guide a jerky momentum, one that works best when he reclaims it near the end of the song.

The ensemble doesn't push any obvious boundaries here, despite a few demanding interactions. Redman and his group are locked into standard sounds, with the challenge simply being how well they can do it. Not surprisingly, they're quite good at it, and the fact that Redman's conversations sound so easy shouldn't distract from the high level of play here. The quartet sticks to its tradition with clear sound, strong melodies and smart interplay, playing to its strengths for another expressive release.

Justin Cober-Lake

 Vandoliers—Forever (Bloodshot)

Forever by Vandoliers

Vandoliers, out of Dallas, make punk rock with country fiddles, hoarse-voiced stomp-alongs with Mexicali flourishes of trumpet. “Sixteen Years,” which commemorates how long these urban cowboys have been on the job, sports bruise-y r ‘n r defiance, with its chugging beat, its cigarette-and-whiskey-vocals, but leavens the mix with brash folkloric bursts of brass. A rougher “Troublemaker” amps up the one-two shuffle and slides the cow-punk meter over towards the punk side, while contemplative “Cigarettes in the Rain,” smoulders and smokes much like its subject matter, but with a noticeable twang. Forever reminds you that the Rolling Stones were, on occasion, a country band, and the Replacements once made songs like “Waitress in the Sky.” The line is permeable, the fence has a nice place to sit on, and the Vandoliers are neither punk nor country but both.

Jennifer Kelly

 Eli Winter — Time to Come (Blue Hole Recordings)

The Time To Come by Eli Winter

With The Time to Come, college student Eli Winter makes his entry into the solo guitar scene. Winter cites Jack Rose as a prominent influence, but he doesn't have the thickness or the pulse of Rose's sound. His sensibility, especially when playing acoustic, lies closer to Glenn Jones in his creation of atmosphere, brightness and storytelling. “Sunrise Over the Flood” starts with a simple, pretty pattern before turning dark, an evocative moment of lightness used to reveal something heavy. On the poppier side, “Oranges and Holly” builds around a riff close to the intro from “Here Comes the Sun,” but it never quite distinguishes itself. The title track unfurls over 15 minutes, Winter's structured thought allowing for linear but engaging progression. Winter's debut makes the case that we should be paying attention to him; he certainly has things to say and has the right vehicle for his expression. At the same time, it feels like a debut. Winter's restraint keeps everything in its right place, but it would be nice to see him challenge himself technically. Taking a few more risks would help him find his own niche the field, a spot he's likely to earn with a little more seasoning, given his smart songcraft and thoughtful aesthetics.

 Michael Zerang—THE SHUDDERING CHERUB (Pink Palace Records)

THE SHUDDERING CHERUB - for solo piano with vibrating elements by Michael Zerang

If you’re wondering how Chicago’s improvised music company made the march from the AACM’s rejection of commercial and racial marginalization in the 1960s to the current polymorphous scene, train your antennae on Michael Zerang. He’s one of the people who did the hard work of not just playing but organizing during the long dry 1980s. His polyvalence extends to his musicality; he’s played unamplified and electro-acoustic improvisation, ecstatic drone, indie rock, free jazz and pan-global percussion. It might seem a bit perverse that his first solo recording is on piano, but listen and your befuddlement will pass. Zerang spends precious little time on the keys. Instead he plunges into the instrument’s interior, liberally preparing its strings and then plucking, scraping and vibrating with sure hands and some trusty vibrators. The music morphs like a chameleon’s coloration, shifting from coarse texture to crystalline drizzle.
