Dewa Budjana: Surya Namaskar

Read "Dewa Budjana: Surya Namaskar" reviewed by John Kelman

While most jazz artists release, at most, one album a year these days, for some there's an even longer gap between recordings. For the most part, the days when an artist like Miles Davis ...

Beledo: Seriously Deep

Read "Seriously Deep" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki

Seriously Deep quite deliberately moves from scene to scene (song to song), building up and releasing tension in music that sounds much too powerful and deep to have been primarily created by only three musicians: Uruguayan ...
