	Tim Berne - Biography - AOL Music
		Berne's career was about to move into a new phase marked by the formation of an important new band and a second new label.
		Berne's entire back catalogue of JMT recordings was deleted and much of the music he had written and performed during the early '90s was gone.
		Tim Berne is an important member of the New York City creative music community whose contributions invite comparison to those of fellow New Yorker John Zorn.

	www.jazzweekly.com \| Interviews
		TIM BERNE: I guess I got started around '73 and it happened that I hurt myself playing basketball, which is how I filled up my free time in college.
		TIM BERNE: I started Paraphrase as a reaction to what I had been doing in the past, which was writing a lot of music and having somewhat structured music and not always feeling like my playing was in the forefront.
		TIM BERNE: Sure, it takes up a lot of time that I used to spend writing music and I would say when you are talking about relative sleaze, I would say distributors are right up there (laughing).

	Tim Berne & Paraphrase
		Berne has also written critically acclaimed string quartets and saxophone quartets, garnered commissions from respectable arts organizations and developed a nice-sized fan base in Europe.
		In addition, Berne is a veteran of the label wars, switching from his own homegrown label to working through a major company with bigger distribution and larger cash advances, only to find out that while the cash may be greener at first, the ink is redder in the end.
		Berne's new trio, Paraphrase, is represented with Visitation Rites, a well-produced date from Berlin that is slightly more experimental than the stuff he does with bloodcount.

	Arts \| Tim Berne, Hardcell
		You have to go to Tim Berne's place to meet him musically, he doesn't obligingly come down to whatever ledge of sonic familiarity you might be perching on and help you up.
		Berne plays London's Vortex on Monday and Tuesday with this group - breaking with the recent past by playing only acoustically, and operating as a ferocious definition of a postbop power trio, since the other members are the virtuosi Craig Taborn (piano) and Tom Rainey (drums).
		Berne regulars will nevertheless recognise familiar elements - the stern, repeating melodies progressively challenged by ruggedly contrary lines or disjunctions of rhythm, the dark, stalking low-register loops disappearing into gathering storms of drums, the quirky private dialogues, the left-field grooves, police-siren whoops, unexpected moments of Lee Konitz-like lyricism.

	Bagatellen - "Tim Berne Interview"
		Tim Berne is undoubtedly one of the premier creative forces in improvised music of the last 20 years.
		Born from the influence of Julius Hemphill, Berne's music is at once groundbreaking while each record is a marked transition in his own unique approach to composition and in the application of the saxophone.
		Whether Berne's appeal lies in the study of a progression through solo, or in the physical consistency of his working groups, one is pressed to address his discography in terms of...

	BBC - Jazz Review - Tim Berne, The Sevens
		And yet if the arc of history does curve towards justice (apologies for the hyperbole), Tim Berne will be seen as a major figure in turn of the century music, exploring the outer fringes of jazz and with The Sevens, heading towards modern composition, unafraid to blaze a trail through the barriers between both.
		On the lengthier "Quicksand", the quartet are joined by Berne and frequent collaborator, guitarist Marc Ducret, for 22 minutes of brilliant interplay between composition (represented by the quartet) and improvisation (Berne and Ducret).
		"Tonguefarmer" is a beat-driven reworking by Torn of improvisations by Ducret of a composition by Berne.

	Slought Foundation: "Live Concert with Felt but Not Heard" with Friedlander, Berne, et al.
		Berne's JMT legacy climaxed with the historic Paris Concerts given by his quartet bloodcount, released in three volumes (Lowlife, Poisoned Minds and Memory Select).
		Berne once again founded his own record label, Screwgun Records, and released a three CD set of live recordings by bloodcount, Unwound.
		Tim Berne has continued to perform and record with his bands, Big Satan (with Marc Ducret), Paraphrase (with Drew Gress), Science Friction (with Ducret and Craig Taborn) and Hard Cell.

	Ground and Sky review - Tim Berne - Electric and Acoustic Hard Cell Live
		The trio of Berne, Craig Taborn (who plays acoustic piano on two tracks and mostly Fender Rhodes, I think, on the other two), and drummer Tom Rainey is tight and energetic throughout, with a surprisingly full sound for a trio lacking a bassist.
		Berne's groups always shine live — I tend to be lukewarm about his studio efforts but love his live ones.
		In fact, Berne is at his most accessible throughout this album, toying playfully with his melodies and avoiding the ear-piercing upper registers that he sometimes favors.

		Berne then proceeded to apply the same twisted and schizophrenic logic to different combinations of musicians and styles.
		Berne gigioneggia al sassofono, divertendosi in tutta una serie di nonsense linguistici, di scioglilingua strumentali, di puzzle paradossali.
		Berne si rivela anche talent scout acuto, raccogliendo attorno a se' una delle formazioni piu' ricche di temperamento del nuovo jazz: Joey Baron alla batteria, Herb Robertson alla tromba, Hank Roberts al violoncello, Mark Dresser al basso.

	BBC - Jazz Review - Tim Berne, The Sublime And
		Tim Berne belongs in a long line of alto saxophonists who've developed a highly indivdual approach to writng music; Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, Anthony Braxton, Henry Threadgill and Steve Coleman are a few that come to mind.
		Berne's solos are better than ever; like Braxton, he's probably as indebted to Alban Berg as Charlie Parker or Julius Hemphill, tempering a chessplayer's logic with sweetly passionate blasts.
		Likewise, Rainey understands Berne's rhythmic conception intimately.He couples it with the technical ability of a drummer with more than two arms.You get the impression that this is a band at the top of its game.

	Tim Berne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tim Berne (born 1954) is an American jazz saxophone player and composer.
		Though Berne was a music fan, he had no interest in playing a musical instrument until he was in college, when he purchased an alto saxophone.
		Berne's complex, multi-section compositions are often quite lengthy; twenty to thirty minute pieces are not unusual.

	The Sublime And Science Friction Live, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		Tim Berne's latest band Science Friction is heard here for the first time in front of a live audience in Switzerland in April 2003.
		Berne's composing for this unit is inspired in part by Ornette Coleman's dictum of using repetitive melodies refracted against harmonic and rhythmic extrapolation that linguistically and dynamically commingles to create towering structures of tension, partial release, and a field map of tonal possibilities realized by the various unions achieved by the interplay of various instruments.
		In this band, Ducret's guitar is used as the foil and complement in Berne's melodic universe, which is architecturally rendered as almost triangular in scope, ever widening at the rhythmic bottom and tonal center of any given work; the interval is used as a near modal device.

	The Database of Recorded American Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Berne might be more inclined to imagine the arc of the thing as it pitches over, the explosive bloom on impact.
		Bernes music occupies a singular space precisely because of this imagination, which resists not only genre distinction but even the trappings of idiom.
		Tim Berne was born in Syracuse, New York, in 1954, and was subjected to a perfectly normal childhood.

	Tim Berne : Ancestors - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Tim Berne's playing on Ancestors is fluid, warm and conveys a relaxed levity.
		For this live recording Berne enlarges his regular quartet (Mack Goldsburg, tenor sax, soprano sax; Ed Schuller, bass; Paul Motian, percussion) to include Herb Robertson (trumpet) and Ray Anderson, perhaps the finest trombonist of the past five years.
		As usual, the tunes are all Berne originals and display the sectional and harmonic structures that so much of his music seems to exhibit.

	Tim Berne & Michael Formanek-Ornery People CD
		Though Tim Berne and Michael Formanek have worked together for years, this is the first recording of them together as a duo.
		Tim Berne is arguably one of the most influential alto saxophone players in the past twenty years.
		Like his mentor, Julius Hemphill, Berne's compositions are his strong suit, but he also knows when to channel the spirit of the free-jazz pioneers and just blow, or when to lay back and let the other musicians take control.

	Bagatellen: Tim Berne - Open, Coma & Science Friction
		Those who have followed Tim Berne’s career as a composer will have noticed long ago that he knows how to make a small ensemble sound like a chamber orchestra.
		The group is conducted by Ture Larsen (who also arranged one of the pieces), so Berne is free to chip in with some fine alto work.
		Between Berne’s wonderful recent work with keyboardist Craig Taborn, guitarist Marc Ducret and drummer Tom Rainey, and Ellery Eskelin’s parade of fine releases with Andrea Parkins and Jim Black, there’s never been a better time for lovers of highly intelligent, fiercely blazing, electro-acoustic-prog-rock-funk-jazz.

	Ink 19 :: Tim Berne and Michael Formanek
		Formanek utilized a variety of playing techniques: plucking at the strings, hard staccato bowing, tapping the strings on with the bow for a percussive effect, dense fingering, and many others.
		Berne rotated between alto and baritone sax for a multitude of textures.
		Melodies were tossed back and forth, added to and taken away from, and caressed and mangled.

	The Sublime And : Tim Berne's Sciencefriction : CD Reviews : One Final Note
		Berne's alto eventually turns recalcitrant, loosing whistling shrieks as Ducret tugs turgidly at his bass register strings and Rainey's chop-socky snare stamps in sliding time with hiccupping cymbals.
		Berne's well-documented appetite for hot peppers (one of his discs even included a damn fine recipe for salsa) even gets props in the form of "Jalapeño Diplomacy", another vampish piece paired in medley form with "Traction".
		In the scheme of Berne's discography, Sciencefriction may just be getting started as a band, but this set argues convincingly that the possible paths left for the lineup to travel are virtually limitless.

		One of the outstanding young members of New York's avant garde jazz scene, alto saxophonist Berne did not begin to play the instrument until he was 19 years old.
		Berne's final album on his own Empire Productions was Theoretically, a 1984 duo with upcoming guitarist Bill Frisell (and later reissued on the German Minor Music label with an extra track).
		Berne's own groups, including Caos Totale and Bloodcount, remain his top priority.

	Tim Berne : Pace Yourself - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Pace Yourself finds Berne's Caos Totale sextet exploring his rich, multi-layered compositions in depth and at length.
		Berne's pieces, especially his longer, episodic ones, tend to take unexpected twists and turns; you'll find very little of the traditional "head-solos-head" song structure here.
		Some of the pieces have a similar feel to drummer Bobby Previte's ensemble compositions from around the same time, recorded for Gramavision, but all share a richness combined with a slight acerbic tinge that keeps things from becoming overly smooth.

		Tim Berne: alto sax; Marc Ducret: electric & acoustic guitars; David Torn: electric guitar, electronics; ARTE Quartet.
		Tim Berne is a Brooklyn-based alto saxophonist and composer, influenced chiefly by the late, great Julius Hemphill, who’s been one of the leading lights of jazz’s outer limits.
		When some people here “jazz musician as composer,” they assume “ah, this is Tim B’s classical gambit,” but such is not the case.

	Tim Berne interview
		Bandleader, composer and saxophonist Tim Berne has created a body of work that is distinguished by its breadth and imagination.
		One of the pleasures of following Berne's career has been following his development. From his first records Berne's compositions showed a confidence that was far beyond his years. In addition, his bands featured established jazzmen like Vinny Golia or John Carter, among many others.
		But, more interestingly, Berne has also blossomed as a saxophonist, picking up the baritone and developing a wonderful rugged and expressive style on the alto.

	Theoretically - Tim Berne - Song Listings
		It doesn't take long for Tim Berne to assert his presence on Theoretically, his outstanding 1986 collaboration with Bill Frisell.
		The overall feel of this record puts it almost into ambient territory, as Frisell's volume swells and Berne's upper register squeals blend into a single fabric of weighty yet spacious sound.
		It is a place where melody emerges almost as a surprise from a strangely menacing backdrop of pure atmosphere.

	Souls Saved Hear : Tim Berne's Big Satan : CD Reviews : One Final Note
		Tim Berne's been making superb music for well over two decades and, perhaps most excitingly, he continues to expand his conception on a recent string of splendid releases.
		Frankly, like Berne's Science Friction work (which adds keyboardist Craig Taborn to the core Big Satan unit), this is an ear assault that thrives on Ducret's spectacular technique and the churning rhythms of Rainey, who is always ready with dynamic, hard-kicking grooves that seem to defy drum logic.
		With respect to Ducret specifically, he seems to be the perfect foil for Berne (which is why The Shell Game ranks a tad lower than Berne's other Blue Series releases), sparring with the saxophonist and shooting sparks of his own with each twist of the song's content and structure.
