Thomson Kneeland: Mazurka For A Modern Man

Read "Mazurka For A Modern Man" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Thomson Kneeland makes a creative surge on Mazurka For A Common Man, with wide-ranging music that captures the bassist's skills as a writer--a trait in evidence right from his first CD, The Voice of Blood (Weltschmerz Records, 2001).

Thomson Kneeland: Mazurka For A Modern Man

Kakalla: The Seeds of Analog Rebellion

Read "The Seeds of Analog Rebellion" reviewed by Florence Wetzel


The Seeds of Analog Rebellion is the outstanding new CD by Kakalla, a Massachusetts-based quartet that successfully blends jazz and electronics. And not only: Kakalla's influences include traditional and modern Bulgarian music, Greek rembetika, Albanian folk music, and rock n' roll.

Kakalla: The Seeds of Analog Rebellion

Read "The Seeds of Analog Rebellion" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza

Thomson Kneeland, the leader and bassist of Kakalla, succeeds admirably in bringing together chamber music, European music, and a bit of rock with a compact jazz sensibility into a remarkable whole that at once grabs attention and draws the ...
