Next time you find yourself underwhelmed by a jazz recording on an indie jazz label, it might be entirely the fault of the artist--some people make bad records, after all.

Samo Salamon Quartet: Two Hours

by David Miller

Samo Salamon is a master guitarist. His chops go unchallenged; at any moment he could play any note or chord on the instrument. That said, Two Hours is a disappointment.

Sometimes two hours is enough.

Samo Salamon Quartet: Ornethology

by Javier AQ Ortiz
November 3, 2003

Review: Quick and to the Point: Ornette Coleman and John Scofield ought to be proud! A musical convergence between Ornette Coleman, Slovenia and John Scofield doesn't figure high in any jazz critic's list of music to look for. Although not exhaustive, the previous three parameters of understanding, however, do serve as guidelines for Ornethology. ...
