Andrew Munsey: High Tide

by Mike Jurkovic
September 2, 2019

Known equally for his unconventional timing as well as his audio design and production, drummer/composer/producer Andrew Munsey takes charge of his equally unconventional, decade-long Brooklyn quintet and delivers the assertive and ambitious High Tide. Munsey's nine compositions, alive with sparse grooves and slippery time passages morphing from one odd equation to the next collective ...

Volk, in tedesco popolo, come tutti sappiamo.

Ochion Jewell - First Suite for Quartet (Mythology Records 2011) ****
